The Salomon BBR–like Zsa Zsa Gabor Hopped up on Meth on Rodeo Drive

by Rob Coppolillo February 8, 2012

I’m usually geeking out over saving grams and rocking the lightest, latest, greatest…but I’d heard about the new board from Salomon, the BBR, and I had to give ‘em a ride. At first glance the ski really does look different–the ski designer also makes surfboards, which the BBR shovel obviously draws from. It’s a normally [...]

My trusty CatEye Urban Wireless computer has tallied the numbers, folks, and 2011 was a PR in terms of bike-commuting: 1400km (868 miles) ridden, with just under 200 pounds CO2 saved, and nearly 18,000 calories burned. I snagged my Globe “Live 3″ at University Bikes, a year-and-a-half [...]
