Comic
Raccoons Borrowed My Bike Volume 2
Those pesky woodland animals are still out there, making a mockery of mountain bikers and our culture!
Just a little psychedelic trash panda action to set the mood.
The biggest performance advantage money can buy isn't some hyphy new suspension design or fancy shifting. Instead, it's a bike that hasn't been ridden into the ground...yet.
I was Raven for a full year once. And then I rode my favorite jump line on Teton Pass and was reminded that one can like big wandering rides AND smooth lips.
Lots of metrics, but what's really the point?
Bearings fear him, rims abhor him, but he can't help who he is!
It's always a BB tool. Why do we have so many BB standards? And why don't I have the right sized socket for this one!? Raccoon needs a beer.
For an introduction to the series, and some context on why I'm drawing silly cartoons as the world burns, check out last week's edition.
And, if you want to color your own versions at home, I've got just the line drawings available for download here.
Let me know in the comments if you know, or maybe are, any of these critters!

Hey, where can I pick up a T-shirt with the "Ride fast, eat trash" graphics? Are the raccoons sponsoring a UCI DH world cup team this year?

Hopefully we'll have an NSMB store in the future with a few designs! For now, I made this one available here.
If by "sponsoring" you mean "digging through the dumpsters for team tires that still have some life left in them" then yes, totally!

In the works! We hope to have an update on this shortly, and including Cy's art on t-shirts is high on the list. Definitely register your favourites, though, and maybe we'll put out a little survey to figure out which ones to get done first.

So true. I see myself in all of them, except maybe for the bunny.

Great work, as always, Cy. Progressing from moose last week to raccoon (both of them) this week....

These are great thanks!
You could turn this into a personality quiz for a laugh. I’m a raven bunny.

Another vote for the psychedelic trash panda/raton laveur. I would get that tee and support NSMB.
The bear and racoon had me chuckling too.

I think the whole print would go on the back of the shirt, and ride fast eat trash letters on the front. Would buy.

Don't no if I'm 11th or 12th, but the psychedelic trash panda needs to be on a T-shirt or Jersey. I'd buy it
