You gotta hand it to both partners in this collaboration: State Bicycle Co. and The Grateful Dead smashed it out of the Golden Gate Park with this smokin’ klunker and a psychedelic range of accessories.
Coincidentally, the collection dropped today: 4/20 also being a celebration of cannabis culture. Fun fact: one of the original Waldos was a roadie for the Dead’s bassist Phil Lesh.
Oh man, if we weren’t already hooked on the part-BMX, part-mountain bike klunker kulture, this one hits that high point of history when cycling’s counter-culture took to the hills.
The klunker is available in two guises: our favorite is featured here, emblazoned with Dead iconography, and a goddamn bottle opener on the seat tube.
There’s a beautiful black version too, decorated with the Dead’s ‘Dancing Bears’ icons, although don’t get us started on the accompanying apparel and accessories.
The list is long but, needless to say, our favorite is the 4/20 bar ends. And we’re a sucker for the tie-dyed jerseys. And saddles. And bar tape. Oh, man. This is one bike I’d like to take on a long, strange ride.
