We caught up with the folks at Skratch Labs at Sea Otter 2015 while their booth was absolutely slammed with people. Riders on their way to the starting line, dusty from the walk down the dirt roads, filled their bottles from multi-gallon buckets of drink mix. Casual cyclists bought bags […]
Over our weekend at Sea Otter Classic 2015, I got to hang out with the people at SRAM. And by hang out I mean I stood around staring at their bikes and was super stoked over the free socks they handed me (I might even be wearing them right now, who […]

How much cash did you drop on that fancy GPS computer with incoming call and text alerts? Or on one that merely spits out detailed ride data? Probably more than you’d like to admit to your spouse (my husband certainly didn’t miss that extra $400 from the checking account . […]

Bethany: “I have no clue what tire size to ask for at my bike shop. What do all those numbers on my sidewall mean?” The great range of mysterious numbers on your sidewall are only complicated by the weird numbers you’ve also got on your wheel rim. Plenty of people […]
A few years ago, I crashed my gleaming, two-week-old, beautiful Cervelo. I sent it off to be repaired with everything attached. My pedals were in the shop. My saddle was in the shop. And my fancy bottle cages were in the shop. All locked away from my old Cannondale (I […]
