Ever wondered what it takes to earn olympic gold in the men’s road race? Now you can get a good look at Belgium’s Greg van Avermaet’s winning ride on Strava. This dude pulls some serious KOMs. Analysis Data Too . . . Whoa. Now that’s a ride we […]
Apparently, we’re all about Strava this week. Today, they’ve announced a brand new safety feature for Strava Premium riders: Beacon. If you’ve been using a separate app to let your friends and family know how much fun you’re having without them, use it no longer because now Strava can do that for you too. […]
Available later this year, Polar adds to its line of smart watches with the M600. We think it’s got the style to wear all day with the features to let you jump straight into workout mode (why else are you wearing moisture-wicking clothes to work every day?). No heart rate strap […]
Win a TA+TOO! For Your Bike Hey! The contest is over, and our friends at Selle Royal hooked up one lucky reader’s bike with a limited edition (number 5 of 100, to be exact), Travel Collection saddle! And the winner is . . . JULIA B. Congrats, Julia! Be sure […]
I’ve worn my fair share of kits. Maybe I’m something of a jersey and bib short hoarder–just ask my kid why there’s no room to hang her clothes in her closet. All of those kits have some small feature that I wish was different. Some leg gripper that’s too tight, […]
The Tour de France is an arduous journey over thousands of miles. Riders expect to feel the pain of climbing, attacking, sprinting. One thing they don’t expect is inflatable banners falling on them with 1km to go. Adam Yates made some unfortunate history as he had gapped the peloton and […]
This year’s Tour de France has been more inclusive than ever, thanks to Velon and GoPro’s commitment to putting us inside the race. Not only are we seeing the race from the peloton’s point of view, we’re also seeing more in-ride stats . . . because just when you’re starting to […]
There’s a specific term of endearment that my in-laws have labeled me with: Cheapskate. On a recent trip to my LBS, my husband laughed when he saw me attempting to squeeze my size-8 foot into a size 7.5 carbon Pearl Izumi shoe. It had a supple upper, super stiffness, and a […]
I don’t generally get stoked over bags. In fact, I have a really bad relationship with them. Somehow when I finally commit to one, they disappoint me. Not enough pockets, too many pockets, too bulky to pack around. Well, I’m happy to announce that I’ve finally found the one. The […]
For me, there’s nothing like Salted Caramel Gu. I love the stuff, and I’m usually willing to fork over the cash when buying in bulk. But when my training days get longer, and I need to spend my money on things like my mortgage, I turn to this recipe to […]
You’re busy riding. I know that. Which is why I don’t often break in and write a direct note from the editor, but so much has gone on behind the scenes here lately that I’d like to give you an update. Because you’re awesome, and you deserve it. New Servers […]
Sensoria Smart Garments & Heart Sentinel It’s estimated that each year at least 2,000, athletes in the US are struck by exercise-related cardiac arrest. Since we cyclists often like to go the distance all by ourselves, we’re sometimes at risk for no one noticing we’ve experienced a cardiac-related incident. Kinda […]
How to Recover Your Stolen Bike Six am marathon starts. There’s nothing quite so horrible as the smell of early morning air and peppy people passing around wishes for a happy day. OK, there is something worse. Hurriedly locking up my beloved road bike (named Blue Moon) to the bike […]
The SuperBand: Versatile, Non-Invasive Cycling Mount If we’ve learned anything from Kickstarter, it’s that good bike things come from Wisconsin. We’ve also learned that the weather can get pretty rough over there, which is probably what makes Wisconsiners so innovative. The folks at BiKASE aren’t letting us down. They’ve just recently […]
