Flare!
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Oh, snap! Chow, a close friend on the West Coast, mailed me two pieces of Team Wonderbike flare from New Belgium Brewing! Real mail is a rarity among all the junk these days. I love this brand and several of their beers. New Belgium, featured in Beer Wars earlier this year, does a lot of cool things to make their people happy and proud to work there. They’ve got the awards to back it up, too. After your first year of employment at New Belgium, you get a sweet bike. After five years, you get a trip to Belgium. More companies need to get on the bike, yo.
I need to sport my flare and install my “I Heart My Mom” bike bell the next time I ride.

If Big Gnome and happiness didn’t exist in my life, I might have sent in an application.
