Summer Dress shirts-Ministry of Supply

I thought I'd share one of my good friend's pin board on pinterest. He's been pinning for about 8 months or so and he's got some good stuff up there. He pins up food, fashion, and watches. He's a fellow gadget lusteur that has a penchant for electronic and indie music.

The Kinetic fluid trainer seems really well built and after my first ride on it it feels really stable. I have feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time on it.
