Last night on new Tarmac, fixed wheel, orange Dyfi and setting sun, swooping down an empty side to side for miles felt great. #simplethings

You've been asking for them, so now they're back - downloadable wallpapers on the blog: http://www.howies.co.uk/brainfood/2013/05/theyre-back-wallpapers/

When we needed pictures of the new bike and run range in action, Hazel, Ade and Alex booked into the Pwll Deri YHA in the untouched corner of Cardigan Bay on Strumble Head.

We arrived in the dark, so it wasn't until sunrise that the full beauty of our location unfolded.

To model the kit we recruited some active local friends. Sam and Phil who are runners, riders and Lifeguards on our beaches, Josh who we ride mountain bikes with and Laura who cooked all the food for our Rest Less ride.

5am starts, creaky bunk beds, breakfast overlooking the sea, beautiful light, dusty coast paths, rocky headlands, a lighthouse, burning gorse, the Presili mountains, winding back roads, 150 year old woods, wheelies, good food eaten together and photo's showing the beauty of where we work. Our photo shoots are work, but they really don't feel like work.This slideshow is a selection of shots from the photo shoot.

Complicated isn’t clever.
Complicated is just trickery... Smoke and mirrors to fool your eyes.
Bells and whistles to distract you.
Good design isn't about adding more.
Good design is about simplicity.
Every feature has a reason for being.
If it doesn’t need to be there, take it off.
Like we always say, simple works.

We bike to work and home again, evening rides and weekend jollies. Getting covered in crap, cuts and grazes and aches and pains.

We love it. That's why we do it everyday.

Funny thing is, we've never really got around to making any serious kit for it...Until now.

What are you up to for your Easter Breakout?

Whatever the weather this weekend, dress for it and get out in it.

When you're home and changed with a cuppa, your pulsing thawing hands, deeply aching thighs, burning cheeks and clear bloodshot eyes will be the reward.

The words of this old nursery rhyme says it all.

Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!

Our classic loose fit Drifter jeans are back and updated for Spring 2013.

Made from a new 10oz organic denim with added rivets at key stress points for strength and new reinforced pocket bags so that the pockets will last as long as the jean.

With chain-stitched hems that don’t fray, a button fly and dyed in natural indigo.

We’ve made them in in-between sizes too so you can find your perfect pair.

Fresh off the carousel. Printed by hand on our organic cotton tees in our very own printshop.

Tomorrow feels like it will be a day where we continue to design and make the best product we can in the most considerate way, for the sports we do.
