If you don’t feel like elbowing fellow shoppers at your local Wal-Mart this year, your best bet for Black Friday deals might be online. Here are the best Black Friday cycling sites we’ve seen across the webs. We’ll be adding to this list as we come across more sweet deals, […]
Measured on the special sit-o-meter pad, matched with a saddle, riding high on the marketing hype “light and comfortable,” I had just made my wallet $200 skinnier. Satisfied that I had finally bought that one true seat. The one that I could count on to be with me when the miles […]
Airless, “solid” tires aren’t necessarily a new thing–with heavy rubber iterations available here and there on the market. Now, three bike shop owners are offering the next gen version of tubeless, airless, tires made not from rubber but from lighter weight silicone plastic polymers. Called Nexo Tires, these are designed […]
Last year, at Interbike, the Swiftwick booth was buzzing. Literally. The tattoo artist was busy offering free-of-charge, no-regrets, colorful and permanent tattoos. In Vegas, this was popular. But even more popular than personalizing your skin permanently with ink: personalizing your skin not permanently with Swiftwick’s socks. Now this is the amount […]
You know the feeling, right? You’re competing at Kona, the World Championship just 16 riders ahead of you–you down some GU Roctane, and pedal at your pace. Passing three riders before you hit T2. More GU, as your shoes tap the Hawaiian pavement. Twelve runners ahead. Five runners ahead. Remind […]
I caught up on the Coeur Sports line at Interbike, and I was stoked on the range that Coeur reaches in their women’s cycling and triathlon gear. With both understated and bright matching kits, Coeur is doing what many other clothing manufacturers aren’t–building jerseys, bibs, shorts, suits, for a variety […]
If you’re a woman, or know someone who is, looking to get more involved in triathlon, joining a team is a great motivator. Getting “sponsored’ is even more of a motivator. But supporting the Max Cure Foundation in their fight to cure childhood cancer is the best motivator of all. […]
If you haven’t heard of Blue Bicycles, they’re about to crush every concept you had about bike manufactures–especially those based in the US. Created by coaches who were having trouble finding bike sponsors for their women’s cycling team, they decided to engineer their own highly technical rides to cater to […]
Picky Bars, home of the famous Ah, Fudge Nuts (which we might eat way too often in a bowl of vanilla ice cream these days), was a busy booth this year with crowds of starving Interbike-goers grasping at the toothpick speared samples of various Picky Bars’ flavors. The booth was so […]
You know that jar you’ve got on your counter? The one that you’ve been dropping dollars and pennies and quarters into for the last several months? The one that’s supposed to be for your $500 super stiff, supple, perfectly fit, Boa dialed, carbon racing shoes? Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t […]
If you’re not having much luck finding a crank-based power meter to go with your fancy new Shimano Dura Ace R9100, Pioneer Electronics is coming to your rescue. As the first to offer compatibility with the newest release from Shimano, Pioneer is sticking with the cutting edge here. And they’re rescuing […]
If you’re wondering what we’re checking out at Interbike, wonder no longer because the Official SLO Cyclist Scale is weighing his way through the biggest bike show in the US. Here where the aisles are big and the opportunities for weigh-ins are plentiful, check out the stops we’re making: gram […]
We’re in full flight mode at Interbike these days with a full complement of awesome gear that’s hitting the market. Last year, we caught up with the folks at ROTOR as Captain America (aka Zabriskie) just happened to be loitering around their booth. We might have done the awkward stare […]
If there’s something we like, it’s puns. And Kask has a prime one for us here, but we’re taking the high road and ignoring the obvious. We’re Koo like that. We plan to stop by the Kask booth this week at Interbike, where they’ll also be launching new helmet colors and […]
