the bike fest

I sold a bunch of leg straps. Some guy even bought 4 of them!

Who knew SF riders wanted to be so safe?!

The corsets were popular among the lookers (although one got laced up on a

bike heading from Canada to Mexico, and then overseas to London!), less so

among the buyers...

...and I had to use this little graphic to explain them.

Still have too many jerseys. If anyone wants a jersey, they are $25 + shipping.

I got all my stuff tied to my trusty mule in one trip. what a day!

Sewed leg straps 'til I ran right out of tags!

More straps coming, and stay tuned for some tool pouch prototypes!

true that bikes at the bike block party!

The Mission Bicycle Block Party is happening next weekend!

Unicycle basketball, trackstand competitions, pedal-powered

blenders, bicycle coffee, and a Pedal Savvy fashion show. All

this can be yours! Sunday, September 26 from noon till 6.

Please come by and grab some new fall-themed garments for

gluten free bread!

It was great! Elasticky and sliceable, with a legitimate crust and everything!

Flours (from most to least):

-brown rice

-tapioca starch

-potato starch

-sorghum

-sweet white rice

-teff

1-2 t xanthan gum

salt

toasted caraway seeds

water

honey

yeast

rice milk

egg

Go through the process of making normal bread: proof your yeast in

warm water and honey, mix your flours with salt and xanthan gum

and caraway seeds. when the yeast is foamy, add 1 beaten egg and some

rice milk, and pour into the flour mix. stir until doughy, adjust flour and

liquid ratio until the mix resembles bread dough.

You don't need to knead the dough because there is no gluten.

Let it sit, covered and oiled, in a warm place for at least an hour.

Bake at 375 for 35 minutes or so, and enjoy!

According to Jesse, the bread kept, covered in the fridge, for about 5 days.

Well True That Bikes is up and running again! Here is a pile of leg strap

rectangles ready to be sewn. New fabrics and reflective tapes on this round.

Some of these will be going to Mission Bicycles and some will be sold at

the Papergirl SF Bike Fest! Stay tuned for news on this, it will be on Sunday,

Sept 26.
