While Selle Royal alluded to their new line of saddles designed to fit any rider in serious comfort over a month ago, today they’ve released specific details on their new Scientia range ahead of next week’s Eurobike bash. And these new seats promise that every type of cyclist will find […]
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 […]
Rotor, popular for their sweet oval chainrings, revealed today that they are launching a fully hydraulic groupset called the Uno. Six years in the making, the Uno is unique in that its hydraulic makeup won’t just be used for braking, it will also help keep you shifting like veritable butter. […]
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 […]
Built to cater to those who are looking for an upgrade in their kit, but aren’t quite ready for the skin-tight, race day tech, Voler’s Jet line is a people pleaser. In fact, I, with a Grinch-sized heart when it comes to cycling aesthetics, rode this kit on several rides of […]
There aren’t many tri suits that I’ve tried on and thought, “Oh, that looks really cool. And I can wear it with arm warmers!” Nope, in fact I’ve often descried the tri suit as a necessary piece of my training kit. We all know just how versatile triathletes have to […]
The name is accurate. Turn any of the videos on and The Sufferfest starts telling you how you should soon be feeling pain. Celebrating pain. Embracing pain and kissing it passionately. Voluntarily. A few months out from a small ordeal called having a baby, I sit on my bike spinning […]
There’s a reason you wait for three hours in the heat of a summer day. For the pro peloton. For the sound of the freewheels buzzing past you in a 30 second blast of excitement. But really, why are you there? You can watch the race much better from the […]
In the following video, we present to you the true reason that we know Christ Froome is not a doper. In fact, it has to do with a lot of science, biology, the X-men, and a bunch of completely made up facts. We may have lost it, folks. But in […]
Reese: “I’ve been watching the pro cyclists in the Tour de France this year, and I’ve heard some speeds thrown out here and there, but I can’t seem to figure out how fast they’re really going. What is a rider’s average speed in miles per hour?” This is a popular […]
There’s a rule in cycling. It’s the N+1 rule. Where N is the number of bikes you have and +1 is the number of bikes you need. And when you have all of these bikes, if you’re like me, you’re probably having a bit of trouble figuring out how to […]
If you’ve been keeping up with the Tour de France, you probably watched Tony Martin hit the asphalt hard. He finished the stage wearing the yellow jersey, but apparently the maillot jaune doesn’t do much to protect one’s collarbone. The crash? Well that was the result of Martin’s front wheel […]
Nate: “I’ve been trying to get a couple of tubes into my flat kit, but I can’t seem to get the air out of them enough to get them small. How do I roll a bike tube properly?” This is an often overlooked topic. Plenty of cyclists think it’s a […]
