Annick Beaudet project manager for the City of Austin’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Program asked us to help with laying down the “law” of the trail.
The trail is near and dear to our running shoes, bike tires, and BOB’s. Last year we designed the new identity for the Trail Foundation. While this poster was a much simpler project to execute there was some great learning…I wasn’t aware that the “speed limit” on the trail is 10 MPH for instance. Let’s just say it took me a little longer to ride into work today.
Big thank you to design partner Toby Sudduth for jumping in and creating the look for this poster at a moments notice. Keep your eyes peeled for it at local bike shops and blown up big this weekend on the trail.
And yes, we can all get along on the trail if we just take a minute to remember a few simple rules.
Happy Trails.

Marty is sometimes the AD and sometimes the shooter. During SXSW Gomez was in town for an ATO records showcase supporting their new album A New Tide. Marty had just shot some press pics for Ben Kweller also an ATO artist and Gomez really dug his look. So Marty scouted a few locations and ended up spending the day shooting the fellas at the Agave. Thanks to Bill Bayne for riding shotgun on the shoot.

Alex Bogusky is an ad man of some renown.That’s all well and good if you’ve got a product to sell. But he’s up to something more than interrupting and selling gypsy wares. He’s also interrupting and attempting to shift a behavior that has an enormously negative impact on the planet – driving. He isn’t doing it with a Truth style campaign though. He, along with Humana and Trek bicycles, are doing it with B-Cycle. It’s an uber dialed bike sharing plan. He is coming to Austin on 13 March to share the vision with SXSW interactive conference attendees.
We are gathering a group of Austinites that can help him see this vision to fruition. As a bike friendly office with two full time bike commuters rolling in and out each day we’d love to see it go. If you want Austin on the B-Cycle map get off your Facebook and get over here. If you have any great ideas for how to drive grassroots awareness of this mission drop us a comment, tweet it, or just launch it into the universe in your own special way.

Jared Dunten has been a friend of ours since 1987. Cool thing is, now he is family. He married my sister-in-law a couple of years ago. Jared and Marty went through a bonding ritual of another sort when, seven years ago, Jared had an accident in the Rio Grande River that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. This piece from Docubloggers talk about what Jared has been up to since his accident.

Community Supported Agriculture is good. Literally. The Butler Bros joined a CSA, The Johnson’s Backyard Garden, to fuel our largely plant based diet. Much tastiness is being served in our offices thanks to the Johnson’s and all the members of our new CSA. Feels great to be investing locally and reaping the rewards. Considering that, on average, food travels 1200 miles before reaching our plates. CSA’s provide solutions for much more than hunger pains. Sample the abundance for yourself.

Leaving for work yesterday I crossed paths with my neighbor Ben. He was loading up his family and his band and gettin’ on the road again, Willie Nelson style. So begins the Changing Horses US tour. To hear a few tracks from the new album check out his my space page. Ben is a great fella and everyone on our street is really going to miss him and his wife and their son while they are out burning up the miles. Go catch his show if you can, the new album is fantastic. He comes back to Austin on Nov 2nd and will be playing Antones that night. The Butler Bros are working with Ben on his press kit as we speak. Stay tuned for some of that action in a future post. Vaya con Dios Kwellers.
