Geek Combo: BMX & QWERTY Keys.

this is unbelievable! two posting of the same theme. who would have predicted it?

anyway...

one of my most visited gadget site, Gizmodo, has an entry posted regarding a line of BMX handlebar grips by Odyssey that resemble a QWERTY keyboard. Gizmodo is not the originating source, but the Gadget Lab over at WIRED.com.

the grip design looks to be that of a QWERTY keyboard fashion, but upon closer look at one of the rows of keys it spells out the name "Aaron Ross", a rider for Odyssey. the row just above it spells out the company's name.

it should come as no surprise that tech geekery and BMX goes hand-in-hand, but like this? this is completely unexpected. next thing we'll see is BMX frame with a printed circuit board design painted on it. i'd like to see that.

peace,
@riel
