Taj Mihelich just finished a book of cartoons called Back Before They Invented Open Face Helmets. It is a collection of work from the last few years and a handful of new things. There is a lot of bicycle humor and he wrote a few essays. The book is 164 pages which you can order from Taj directly.

From the back cover:
This book is 164 pages of my cartoons and doodles.

There's a few things I'm actually serious about, but hopefully you can't tell, and even a few essays. I call it a collection of not-too-artsy-fartsy work I've done over the last few years (though, there are a few fart jokes).

The wait is over! Radio's highly anticipated solar Carbon Fiber frame is here… designed and developed in Cologne, Germany over a two-year period, the solar is manufactured from the highest quality Torayca carbon and is incredibly unique with its 100% monocoque 1pc construction. By using a mono-construction compared to a 2/3pc construction which most other brands use, we were able to make the frame even stiffer and stronger and create no weak or fatigue points.

The solar frame is laboratory tested and proven to be insanely stiff and lightweight especially under high impact and stress tests. The internal cable routing allows for a super clean and stealthy setup. Tested by the Radio Raceline team the past x2 seasons and now the frame of choice for many of today’s top

The moulded TSG Kneeguard Patrol A 2.0 delivers reliable full-length protection, pro shock absorption and a secure fit for park riding. The pad, which can be put on without taking off your shoes, benefits from our brand new wrap-around ergonomic strap system, made up of three straps including a top double-closure Velcro strap to eliminate flapping straps and conform to individual rider’s leg shape for a firmer, more secure comfortable fit. Protection is delivered by a removable and flexible pierce-proof knee insert, ACF padding and side cushioning, while a moisture wicking terry cloth lining provides all-day ridability and comfort.
