RideWithoutGPS

Spoke Divider

So, you already have a bamboo fixie, recycled tire-tread sandals, an all-wool kit with real chamois pad, and organic yak butter to keep it pliable?

Well, that's great, but are you still navigating by iPhone, Android, Garmin?

Hey, Hipster Hero, let's be real about getting back to basics. You could drop that device and smash the screen. The battery will run out, sooner or later. If it's a phone, your boss, significant other, anyone could call you in and spoil your ride.

You're staring at a washed-out screen the size of an index card and relying on signals from satellites swooping past, hundreds of kilometers above you! A Presidential Executive Order could shut all of them off, just like that, and then what would you do?

Executive order

Getting lost is a real pain. Find Your Way Home (or to your secret cave, deep in the wilderness) with ShelBroCo RideWithoutGPS, the Navigation System That Will Never Let You Down. Buy your ShelBroCo RideWithoutGPS kit Now and never worry about getting lost again!

The compact RideWithoutGPS kit fits conveniently into a pannier, touring bag or handlebar bag. It includes large, easy-to-read maps which come to life under Full Natural Sunlight, and a top-quality orienteering compass with lanyard. RideWithoutGPS maps are printed in petroleum-free inks on environment-friendly recycled cellulose fiber products. ShelBroCo has resumed production of the famed Multito belt-driven cyclometer, which records trip mileage and total mileage! An optional convenient Olive Oil Lamp and matchbook are available for nighttime use. With only a few minutes of simple calculation, determine your trip time and average speed. Lumosity-approved!
