This is a test of our revamped (or, more accurately, newly vamped) social-media-friendly blog. If this works like it's supposed to, a link to this message will appear on our Facebook page and @ttrbikes on Twitter. Please fan and follow us, if you like the shop or the site, or at least the cat.

It's weird that the above is the "if this works" scenario, since I already feel uncomfortably self-referential while blogging. Now it feels self-referential across multiple platforms, which just compounds the issue. Anyway, this is supposed to appear on the blog, with updates daisy-chained to Facebook and Twitter. I'm afraid I may toggle the wrong switch and it may in turn re-update the blog and start the process all over again. . . then I'll have a never-ending circle of content with no beginning or end, like an Escher stairway or Ouroborous, the dragon who consumes his own tail. Actually, Ouroborous sounds like something that Grant Peterson might name a MTB.

 And just so this is nominally about bikes, bike hugger has the new Burley urban/commuter trailer, and RANS has re-launched the Formula LE, which was a popular bike at TTR in its old dual big wheel, disc-brake incarnation. 

Edit: OK, back to the cursing, er, drawing board. Hmmm . . .
