It's no Pulitzer, but ...

Today I offer a big thanks to Bikegirl and the rest of the the animal lovers at Paramount Cycles, who have presented me with the finest award this blog will likely ever earn.

To recognize my 700th post, and my No. 2 ranking in Google searches for "bicycles + beavers," they gave me a pair of "Save the Beavers" socks that I will wear proudly. Because after all, what greater cause could there be?

Bicycles & Icicles. Promoting the protection and humane treatment of beavers since 2005.

Now you need some Harlot bike shorts, with their patented Beaver Comfort Zone ... true 'humane treatment' ... plus they're fashionable. Bikegirl can set you up.

Tim-
We just got word from Sock Guy (maker of the infamous beaver socks) that the white yarn used in the making of the socks is not up to their usual high standards. It seems that it has a tendency to pill and develop those annoying little fuzzballs. Sock Guy said you can return the socks for a new pair or if you are really careful you can grab a razor and every so often you can shave your beaver for a nice clean look.

Jon, I'm a little worried about causing permanent damage if I slip with the razor.

Can I wax the beaver without harming any fabric?
