If you’re really against stopping to mess around with the menus on your camera, and you want overlay metrics like how fast you’re going (ok, maybe some of us don’t want that) or how much hang time you’re getting (definitely a plus for those 0mph crash videos), the Garmin Virb […]
Eurobike is officially here and with Eurobike comes plenty of new tech. First up today we’ve got the latest from Wahoo Fitness: the KICKR. If you’re decking out a new indoor pain cave for the upcoming winter season (ok, honestly, winters here drop to a balmy 68 degrees. It’s awful.), or […]
Back in my college days, I had friends on the cycling team who were cursed by the dorm lifestyle. Expensive bikes and shifty roommates meant little trust between pals. One of my friends, who owned a rather fancy BMC, would only leave it in his dorm after fixing to his […]
The Mopusher offers a new twist on those old charm bracelets you’ve got shoved in the bottom of your sock drawer (that’s where people keep all their jewelry too, right?). Except instead of hiding your bracelet under your Swuftwicks because you’re embarrassed by how much money you spent on charms back in 1999, you can […]
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 […]
