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 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 […]
Saddle bags. My relationship with them is tense. My desire to empty my pockets of flat-fixing gear struggles against my desire to keep the lines of my bike clutter-free. Oh, internal wrestling that threatens my security in my roadiness. But all that has changed. For now I have found the […]
I’m a lover of all things chocolate: cookies and brownies especially (just ask my wife why I like to eat at Subway–those sandwiches ain’t really that tasty). For me to find a nutrition bar that tastes this good and is made with all natural and organic ingredients is a mega […]
GoPros Are NOT For Girls I’ve never wanted a GoPro. In fact, I thought it was a waste of money. My iPhone takes great photos. Why do I need to spend $400 on a camera when I have a very capable machine already? Oh, it’s supposed to take high quality […]
Our newest voice here at SLO Cyclist, Bri, gives the Mob Armor Mob Mount a thorough test off-road (including an official crash test–and when I say “official,” I mean, she accidentally crashed with it). Without further hem-haw-ing around, here’s Bri’s review on the Mob Mount: Most phone mounts on the market are […]
The folks at TiGr Lock are at it again–creating a cool and functional take on the u-lock. And, since it’s a TiGr brand product, this puppy promises a few seriously cool features. Not only will its construction keep weight at a minimum, its shape looks more portable than traditional U-locks. […]
Velo Saddles unveiled their new line at this year’s Sea Otter Classic and we’re impressed! At first glance the saddles while nice looking didn’t appear much different than most sleek road saddles currently on the market. But on closer inspection there are some really unique design advances at work in […]
Trailing the big dogs by five seconds and separated by millions in funding and sponsorships, the US Olympic Women’s Track Cycling team are clear underdogs from the outset of this documentary. Set against the 2012 disgrace, *cough* Armstrong *cough*, and rampant doping admissions that decimate the men’s road cycling field, Dotsie […]
We caught up with the folks at Skratch Labs at Sea Otter 2015 while their booth was absolutely slammed with people. Riders on their way to the starting line, dusty from the walk down the dirt roads, filled their bottles from multi-gallon buckets of drink mix. Casual cyclists bought bags […]
Over our weekend at Sea Otter Classic 2015, I got to hang out with the people at SRAM. And by hang out I mean I stood around staring at their bikes and was super stoked over the free socks they handed me (I might even be wearing them right now, who […]
We’ve just finished up the dusty, 25th anniversary of the enigmatic racing and crazy awesome expo that is the Sea Otter Classic. The sights, sounds, and giveaways flow here with booths tossing socks from their roofs and Cadel Evans meandering through the crowds. We’ve seen a lot of cool gear to […]
Introducing our resident triathlete, graphic design guru, and soon-to-be newbie cyclo-crosser, Shane. In his very first article for SLO Cyclist–he’s been the one in the background making things look legit around here–Shane reviews the BackBottle. Let him know what you think, and feel free to encourage his efforts in the written […]
How much cash did you drop on that fancy GPS computer with incoming call and text alerts? Or on one that merely spits out detailed ride data? Probably more than you’d like to admit to your spouse (my husband certainly didn’t miss that extra $400 from the checking account . […]
