    Yes, this is exactly what you think. Rideable Bicycles Replicas (or RBR) has been making beautiful Boneshakers, tricycles, recumbents, tandems, and surreys since 1973. They can cost a pretty penny, running anywhere from $800 to $1,100, but they’re worth every last cent. RBR has created custom bikes for Cirque Du Soleil, the touring [...]

When we started Lastwear we were very into the idea of open information.  You might even say we were a little starry eyed about it. Open source was on the rise, people [...]

A curious plague has broken out at the Lastwear Journal offices: comments and messages by non-existent people. They are odd individuals, these folk without physical being. They often seem to have opinions about the items posted on the Journal, and then loose the thread; they ramble on about other topics and often blather meaninglessly. Almost [...]

Something we’re calling Decopunk. So if you [...]
