Andry Amador is kind of a big deal. He wore pink in the Giro; he rides a pretty fancy Canyon; he goes fast. He also lives in Costa Rica where the Spanish speaking is fast and furious. Hence, the release of a new video showing Amador whiz by a cop on […]

If you’ve ever slowly, gently, tenderly, leaned your unmarred bike up against an ugly, careless, unfeeling metal pole, you know the angst that follows as you continue locking the two to each other. All the while your stomach is twisting at the thought of what marks could be waiting for […]
This week we got a cold snap. Middle of the night it dropped down to a seriously brisk 49 degrees. Oh gosh, that is chilly. And, of course, I looked out the window of my heated California home to see the still, fog-dampened air and immediately ran through all my cold weather kit […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
