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 […]
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 […]
Around here, when we think aero wheels, we contemplate our lives spent riding along coastal byways. Wind, sand, fog, dolphins spouting off in the waves, the crash of blue . . . ok, actually, yah, it’s pretty beautiful. But where we are, wheels make a difference. That’s why we were stoked […]
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. Created by coaches who were having trouble finding bike sponsors for their women’s cycling team, they decided to engineer their own highly technical rides to cater to […]
Feedback Sports has a custom take on tools with their newly available kits that go wherever you go. And judging by their take on chain whips (shown in the right side of the image below), we think they put in some serious R&D here. We caught up with the folks at […]
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 […]
If there’s one thing Showers Pass has, it’s class. They definitely know how to throw a breakfast. As I sat sipping peppermint tea and watching the product demo, I thought two things: “Man, I love raw sugar,” and “Wow, those are reflective.” Eloquent, I know. But Showers Pass’ take on […]
You know that jar you’ve got on your counter? The one that you’ve been dropping dollars and pennies and quarters into for the last several months? The one that’s supposed to be for your $500 super stiff, supple, perfectly fit, Boa dialed, carbon racing shoes? Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t […]
If you’re not having much luck finding a crank-based power meter to go with your fancy new Shimano Dura Ace R9100, Pioneer Electronics is coming to your rescue. As the first to offer compatibility with the newest release from Shimano, Pioneer is sticking with the cutting edge here. And they’re rescuing […]
If you’re wondering what we’re checking out at Interbike, wonder no longer because the Official SLO Cyclist Scale is weighing his way through the biggest bike show in the US. Here where the aisles are big and the opportunities for weigh-ins are plentiful, check out the stops we’re making: gram […]
We’re in full flight mode at Interbike these days with a full complement of awesome gear that’s hitting the market. Last year, we caught up with the folks at ROTOR as Captain America (aka Zabriskie) just happened to be loitering around their booth. We might have done the awkward stare […]
If there’s something we like, it’s puns. And Kask has a prime one for us here, but we’re taking the high road and ignoring the obvious. We’re Koo like that. We plan to stop by the Kask booth this week at Interbike, where they’ll also be launching new helmet colors and […]
We’ve seen cool stuff from Otto Design Works before. Well now the keen minds at Otto are addressing yet another need for the average cyclist: a lock that is actually light, yet actually works. Enter the OTTOLOCK. At just 115 grams, this coiled lock features a combo setting (I’m looking […]
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 […]
