Cats Tongue – Why do you need some?

If there are two things I’ve learned in the bike shop they are: #1 Ladies love bike mechanics, and #2 Ladies hate dirty greasy hands. I can’t do much about #1, we all have our crosses to bear. But I now have a solution for #2, Cat’s Tongue wipes. Made specifically for greasy bike repair induced filth. With a fresh orange scent and no rinsing required they are perfect to keep in your saddle bag or glove compartment. One of the keys to the Cat’s Tongue ability is one side has amazing scrubby scratchy thingies that help cut the crud, the other side is smooth for more delicate jobs. It also has aloe to keep your skin nice and smooth, for the ladies… Individual packets are $1.50 and a canister of 30 “shop-sized” towels are $9.99. And check out the sweet tat.

Love,

Uncle Joe

Definitely a sweet tat!

Note: This is Joe after getting injured at a race, if he had lost conciousness first responders would have been able to identify him by his bracelet.

Picture Yourself Outdoors – with Peabody eMints School

Mrs. Kathy Scanlon is the art teacher at Peabody eMINTS Academy in the STL Public School System. Each year, Alpine Shop collects donations to fulfill her wish list for her kids! Below you will find a list of the items that she most needs to keep her children engaged and involved creatively. Please feel free to download this list and share it with your friends! We hope the kids return to a whole classroom full of goodies for next semester.

UPDATE: Mrs. Scanlon has put out a call for children and young adult sized coats for her classes. She had many kids come in with no warm coat on the first below freezing day we had this winter. Alpine Shop will be collecting these coats until Jan 1st as well and they will be delivered when the kids return from winter break. THANK YOU!!
