After all, <em>American Choppers</em> has effectively conditioned each and every one of us to think stitching together custom bikes involves more drama than your average episode of <em>Jersey Shore</em>. But, as Jared Johnson of Holiday Customs so eloquently illustrates, real life building as all about crafting something that isn't "just a bolt on situation." Even better, the shop focuses on crafting accessible bikes for the masses instead of $25,000 bits of unobtanium. It's clear Johnson wants his bikes to be ridden, not sheltered in someone's forsaken garage.<br /> <br /> Sunglasses maker <a href="http://experimentwithnature.com/category/01-videos/#.USUndaWKJZ8">Shwood Eyewear</a> turned its attention to Holiday Customs for the latest in the company's <em>Experiment With Nature</em> video series. The clip succinctly sums up what we love about bikes, wrenching and, fittingly enough, wrenching on bikes.
