GREEN RIDERS: Southeast Asia

Gear Review: Limar

Limar helmets have been keeping our brains safe, and their lenses have been keeping our (well, Kenny’s) eyes on the road. Provided for GREEN RIDERS by GH Speedbikes, in this gear review, we give our run down on Limar.

Gear Review: GUTR

No, that isn’t Ralph Maccio (aka Karate Kid), it’s GREEN RIDERS’ Kenny himself. YOu were probably fooled by his Gutr head band. A high tech silicone band that works more or less like the gutter on your roof, to channel sweat away from the front of your face. No more vaseline on the eyebrows! Provided for GREEN RIDERS by GH Speedbikes, in this gear review, we give our run down on the Gutr.

Episode 6: A Brief Peek at our Briefs!

A brief peek at our briefs!

In episode six, GREEN RIDERS are invited to join Food Tour Malaysia for a late-night feast in all the dark corners of KL. We get to peek into the deliciousness that is Malaysia’s multiculturalism, and witness the greatest pork-soup-fired cover of We Are the World ever. Seriously. Ever.

Then we visit with the folks behind Nukleus fashions in Penang, to hear their story of unintentional green-washing and the challenges of a business trying to be green. Their advice: Just do it. Make your mistakes, learn as you go… But do the right thing.

This Is A Rubbery! Episode 5

Hands up! This is a rubbery!

In episode five, GREEN RIDERS go to the source and find Southeast Asia’s first rubber tree, in Kantang, Thailand. We explore the complex, rubber-made story behind this most common of materials, a story of pestilence, slavery, deep jungles, big dreams, dashed hopes and a whole lot of drippy, white sap.

Viewer discretion advised: This story has a very sappy ending and may rubber the wrong way… 🙂
