This week we’re avoiding the heat–and the slot machines–in Las Vegas and enjoying the most awesome bike show of the year: Interbike 2015. We’re scheduled to see all the latest tech and then some, and we’ll be writing to you directly from the showroom floor (it’s air conditioned, and the […]
Derailleurs. If only someone could just tell you why your chain keeps skipping cogs. Like if only they could just look at your bike and tell you, “Oh. Turn your high limit screw 1/8 of a turn, and twist your barrel adjuster four clicks clockwise.” That person would be a […]
There’s nothing quite so awesome as hammering on the flats. Pushing a big gear and hitting some high speeds. Feeling awesome. Feeling fast. And then you pull up to a stop sign, and you stop. Because, you know, you’re cool like that. Traffic clears, you proceed. And just because you […]
I’m shaking. Maybe it’s not visible. Maybe it is. My arms and hands draped on the handlebars. Shoes still clipped into my Speedplays, and I’m not sure I can gather enough control of my feet to unclip. But I beat him. That stupid Sufferfest video hamster with his smug, elastic, […]
There comes a time in every cyclist’s life when he or she feels drawn to free up a little extra pocket or saddlebag space. That determined, focused refusal to carry unnecessary accessories like tire levers. After all, who needs tire levers to change a flat?! Ridiculous. You don’t need no […]

I’m sitting here wearing a white shirt and somewhat expensive workout pants. I’m not bragging about how much I spend on my clothes, I’m telling you that they now sport grease smears and a fancy (very newbie looking), chainring tattoo. It’s never intentional that I wear white on a day […]

A hamster is out-wheeling me. I’m an hour into another Sufferfest and leaning, heavy, forward into the bars. The soreness in my legs brings memories bubbling up of last Saturday’s ride. I’ll stay in that power zone, no problem. No extra effort here. But out on the road, I felt […]
Michael: “I’ve been training with just a heart rate monitor for a while, but I’ve been reading about power meters. What is the difference, and why would I need a power meter?” All right Michael, now this is a serious question. While you can certainly make great strides training with […]
