Eat. Ride. Sleep. That’s all there is to a light tour.
In August 2009, three friends and I did a self-guided bicycle tour across four countries in Central Europe. We had our bikes, what we wore, and whatever we managed to stuff into the small bags on our (mostly) fixed-gear bikes. It’s the simple life, save for the overly handy iPhone and GPS usage along the way. »

A couple years ago, we launched a side project called the World Clock Project.

Since our flagship product is all about time tracking, we saw the project as a perfect mix of art, community involvement, and relatedness to our business.
Recently, New York Times writer Zahra Sethna came across our project and reached out to us to do a shopping column for wall clocks. Here’s that resulting story:
