The Radavist

We’re back with a fresh drop of merch this winter, re-issuing some classics and presenting some new designs. After multiple requests, we have our Roadrunner graphic on 22 oz bottles, stickers, and a long-sleeve t-shirt. The Radavist Vulture shirt is back on a long-sleeve, as well as our Ocotillo/Agave wool socks, Yo! wool socks, and a new Breccia wool sock design for the geology nuts out there. Speaking of rocks, our Malachite Dynaplug Pills came out incredible, and we’ve got three colors in The Radavist Camp Hat.

See it all at The Radavist Webshop. Shipping this week.

It’s been a year since The Radavist returned to being 100% independent again and a year of our Group Ride Membership and the Rad Bazaar. John’s got some updates to share below, so read on for more…

Camera Corner will have its world premiere at the MADE Bike Show Movie Night on Friday, August 23rd. It will screen at 8 PM at the Zidell Yards in Portland, Oregon, and your entry to the film is free if you have a MADE ticket for Friday. Otherwise, it’s $10. Yakima is sponsoring the movie night and We Are One is buying the first 400 beers for the evening events. Do not miss out!

We recommend buying your tickets ahead of time as this show will sell out and there are no guarantees you’ll be able to get in the night of. You can buy tickets at MADE.

Our brave programmer, Ian Register, just rolled out the pinch+zoom feature. You might think this was an easy fix, but Ian’s been in the Javascript weeds for some time with this bug. Well, he finally implemented the update today after scrubbing out six Javascript files. Give it a go, and if you find bugs, please drop a comment with your operating system and device!

We’ve got some fresh threads for your feet and head in our Summer 2024 merch drop!

We’ve finally found our summer sock supplier with a small US manufacturer that has developed the comfiest socks yet. Seriously, these socks are the best-feeling summer-weight wool socks we’ve ever worn, and we’re not just saying that! We worked hard dialing in the fit and feel after lots of feedback from our customers.

This drop includes our 1960s pop art pool water-themed Hockney design in turquoise, two colorways of the 3-stripe Klunker sock (a summer staple!), and our Sidewinder socks, inspired by the Mojave Desert Sidewinder’s ability to bury its body in sand, leaving everything but its eyes exposed.

Adding to the fun are three fresh colors in our Camp Hat design. We went back to our pre-COVID supplier, restyled the hat with a little bit more room in the head, and are offering them in three colors: Sage, Mallow, and Slate. These new hats feature a plastic buckle, and The Radavist script on the back. Sewn in Los Angeles from made in the USA cotton.

The Radavist Summer 2024 Drop is in stock today at The Radavist Webshop.

As with all of our merch sales, your support pays our team so we can keep the site fresh daily. Every single penny helps, and we greatly appreciate your support! From everyone over here, THANK YOU!

At BESPOKED 13 (and in just over two weeks’ time!) the custom bicycle showcase be hosting its first cycling film night with the support of @condorcycles on Saturday, June 29th, from 18:00 to 22:00. You can catch a sneak peek at our new Radavist documentary there!

As the longest-running adventure, lifestyle, and alternative cycling website, we’ve been accumulating massive amounts of videos since migrating to WordPress in 2008. By our last tallying, that includes over 8000 videos, spanning across every path of cycling culture. To make things a little easier to navigate, we’re starting to roll out some simple tweaks and large restructuring improvements over the next few weeks. The first sampling is currently available; a new Video Category page.

You can access this by clicking the hamburger menu at the top right of the menu, or simply click the video category tag on any video. This is where we’ll pin our video projects to the top. More granular breakdown of the content itself is on the way, too…

And as always, if you like and subscribe to our YouTube channel, it’ll help us make more documentaries like From Biocrust, With Love.

The wind is blowing up here in Santa Fe, and that means Spring is in full swing! This season, we’ve got some fresh new designs, including our Vulture Homage shirt, Vulture bottles (both come with a sticker,) designed by Casey Robertson; our LAND-designed Deserted graphics on a unisex shirt in agave; a women’s crop top in natural; Deserted water bottles; and a classic Eternal Jackal signet with our Shred Lightly crest across the back in stone.

We also re-upped our Golden Sunrise bottles and Expedition bottles!

Roll on over to The Radavist Web Shop to check it all out. As always, every cent from your purchases go to paying our staff and keeping this website cranking out daily content! From everyone here at The Radavist, THANK YOU for your continued support.

Having friends in the coffee industry has its perks. Taylor at Roly-Poly Coffee Co is a good friend of ours. We featured his coffee bike from  the MADE Bike Show last year and his shop up in Bozeman a few years back, where this collaboration was born. As John and Taylor talked about roasts over sipping long blacks, a bean of thought sprouted: we should do a coffee blend!

These headset wrenches we made with Paragon Machine Works last year sold out very quickly. They’re designed for 1″ threaded headsets with a large, 32 mm wrench on one end and an 15 mm axle nut wrench on the other end. They’re made from US-made titanium by Paragon in Richmond, California.

They’re in stock for now at The Radavist Webshop.
