If you’re a fan of seeing, and I figure many of you are, you’ll be excited to learn that Rudy Project has just released its update to the Impact-X unbreakable lens. Unveiled at Interbike last September, the ImpactX-2 promises improved photochromatic particles that offer faster color transitions and better contrast. […]
I harbor a small amount of hatred for clip-on aerobars. Try loading a bike with aerobars into a vehicle and you will understand why I carry these feelings. When they thump you in the forehead for the sixth time, you will also vow never to use them either (it’s complicated, […]
Many of you have seen wooden bikes these days. Awesome organizations building bamboo rides for low income economies have made a serious splash in goodwill circles. But these bikes have generally been aimed at the commuter who needs something durable yet inexpensive. So what if there was a wooden ride that […]
You know you’ve done it. You’re at an expo, and there’s something particularly cool being handed out. Something you really want for your jersey pocket (ALL your jersey pockets), and it’s just sitting there. Free. You start to perspire maybe, and you walk a little too fast toward the table. […]
Sometimes, I’m driving down the road with the rack on the roof of my Prius (don’t worry, my other car is much cooler), and I watch my fuel mileage plummet. All the while I’m turning up the radio to make it audible over the whistle of the empty rack. With […]
At last year’s Tour of California, a huge crowd is gathered around the team Cannondale bus for one reason, and one reason only: Peter Sagan. When the glitzy RV door finally opens, the entire crowd is sure it’s the oh-so-socially accepted Peter. Suddenly, a piercing scream and an “ERMAHGAHD!!!! IT’S […]
I know how it feels. I tested saddle after saddle through my LBS before I landed on the Fi’zi:k Arione Donna. I loved it! So comfy. So light. So . . . flowery. Not one of the other saddles in the shop fit me so well, so I shrugged and […]
I hate flowers. I hate pink. I have a strained relationship with purple. And after years of bewailing the options for stylish, high-tech, and comfortable cycling jerseys and bib shorts, Santini has heard our cries and created a thing of slight brilliance. While the trend in women’s cycling seems to be […]
You know when you were a kid, and you thought it was a great idea to show off how fast you could run. So you cranked up the treadmill to full speed–waiting until the belt whirled angrily in front of you–ignored the tiny bit of common sense you had at […]
I realized something today. Christmas is almost here. So, I did what anyone would do who forgets about buying gifts until just before the holiday, I exclaimed under my breath, “Dang.” If you’re like me, and you also forget things like major holidays, here are a few last minute gift […]
Raise your hand if you’ve ever left your precious bike leaning against a wall, sans lock, and run into a café for a quick snack or bathroom break. Now, if you’re in a public place reading this, look around to see how many people are staring and wondering why you’ve got […]
Although I don’t normally put two reviews on the same page, I couldn’t help myself this time. The kind people at ENDEVR hooked me up with their super slick ID and their street-cred raising kinesiology tape to help me look doubly legit–no matter how easy the training day. Combined, you’ll be […]
Every triathlete knows that getting ride/run bricks in is super important. My aversion to running often tempts me to skip these bricks–especially when I hate to ruin a smooth and amazing bike ride with a lung-blasting, lumbering run. But I always try to remind myself of the time I got […]
Minimalism. It’s something of a trend in our sport. If you’re packing light, you’re going fast, right? This philosophy has forced me into carrying the world’s tiniest multi-tool with four of the world’s shortest and smallest wrenches folded within it. There’s not really anything wrong with it. It works on […]
