This video will come with an advert, maybe a popup, but it's funny to me.

Surly Moonlander = 26er with giant 4.7" wide tires that give it the effective geometry of a 29er and the ability to ride through damn near anything, just really slowly. Not nearly as cool as the new touring frames they're making from a practical standpoint, but still way rad.

I still haven't had a chance to ride a pugsley. Would make a fun All Terrain Townie.

Buying those tires supports at least one terrorist cell.

You mean the color? They come in red, black and white. All have tan sidewalls. They are amazing.

Grand Bois in Japan. You can buy them from Compass:

Sweet! That part alone is more expensive than a complete niceporch bike any day though.

Working out the details for a winter bike with disk brakes. Gonna put some of these on it:

Yea, spendy but worthy. Thinking a Troll with Reba Race when I win the lottery or steal enough kids' milk money.

Also, just found that Velo Orange is making threadless BBs for $66. I've needed one of those for a project bike for a couple years now. SCORE! Now to find a decent component set on ebay...
