Ink Shack #1: Strange Times

Jon Gregory is a friend of ours and an ace designer (he designed Deathgrip Book) with a particular penchant for the hand made (the illustrations in Served zine are his) and a keen eye for detail.

Starting here, Jon will produce a weekly(ish) musing from the world of two wheels. Mountain bikes, road bikes, cyclocross bikes, BMX. It’s all bike riding.

The t-shirt below is a limited edition, available for one week only. Next week there will be a new product. And so on.

Strange times

Solo bike rides are great ways to unfurl the layers of the subconscious and get some clarity on things. Stuck for a starting point I decided to head out for half an hour on the road bike. My daily exercise allowance.

Three miles into my ride up on to the moor I spotted these signs. The message displayed in front immediately hit me on a deeper level… and far from getting away from the facts of the current crisis they were brought crashing home.

Usually, I would head straight on and take my chances or take on an adventure by following the diversion. Today I turned around and headed straight back home.
