As a young, competitive athlete, I’ve always been a bit dismissive when it came to activity trackers. They were great for people trying to lose weight, I thought. Or who were trying to become more active, specifically by walking or running. They never tracked other things well – like rowing, weight […]
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 […]
With Eurobike here and Interbike just around the hairpin, we’re starting to get peaks at all the new tech releases headed toward us. And because the good people at Fix It Sticks just refuse to quit being awesome, they’ve got a new way to carry your tools on the bike (we’ve […]
Yes, Pickle Juice but no, not straight out of the jar. The Pickle Juice Company based in Mesquite TX has been kind enough to let me test their product, 100% Natural Pickle Juice Sport. It is “a unique sports drink formula that replenishes electrolytes and relieves muscle cramps, and completely free […]
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 […]
Aesthetics and helmets generally don’t go hand in hand (especially when we’re talking aero helmets). But recent advances in helmet tech have expanded our options from the straight up mushroom-head styling and into more appealing looks. Brooks is throwing their hat into the ring . . . literally . . . […]
I know what bad rack systems are like. I once watched, terrified, as a good friend strapped my brand new carbon fiber dream bike onto his cheap, no-name hitch rack. You know, the kind you find on the clearance end-cap at Walmart that squeezes four bikes onto a thin steel […]
If you’re into aluminum, handmade, and ‘Merican, you’re gonna dig the latest release by Low Bicycles out of San Francisco. The MKII Cross bike is built by hand in SF and was prototyped and refined with the help of pro CX racers over the course of two years. The result is […]
If you’ve ever been on a ride and noticed that your cell phone’s battery power is alarmingly low, you’ll be interested in the Cydekick Pro, from a Miami-based company called Spinetics, currently in its crowdsourcing phase. It’s an externally mounted rear-hub dynamo that uses magnets and the energy from your […]
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 […]
