This week we’re avoiding the heat–and the slot machines–in Las Vegas and enjoying the most awesome bike show of the year: Interbike 2015. We’re scheduled to see all the latest tech and then some, and we’ll be writing to you directly from the showroom floor (it’s air conditioned, and the […]
Derailleurs. If only someone could just tell you why your chain keeps skipping cogs. Like if only they could just look at your bike and tell you, “Oh. Turn your high limit screw 1/8 of a turn, and twist your barrel adjuster four clicks clockwise.” That person would be a […]
You know our chief editor has a hate-hate relationship with saddlebags, and, in her previous review of the Jet Roll II and the Jet Roll Supersonic, she labeled these new takes on the classic tool wrap UN-saddlebags. And for good reason. The versatility inherent in the design is something we […]
From their inception, shock-absorbing stems have seemed to always leave you wanting less. Less ugly, less weight, less un-cool. Redshift Sports is out to change our perception of shock-absorbing stems with their newest Kickstarter launch. You’ve heard us talk about Redshift last year when we checked out their quick release […]
While Selle Royal alluded to their new line of saddles designed to fit any rider in serious comfort over a month ago, today they’ve released specific details on their new Scientia range ahead of next week’s Eurobike bash. And these new seats promise that every type of cyclist will find […]

Built to cater to those who are looking for an upgrade in their kit, but aren’t quite ready for the skin-tight, race day tech, Voler’s Jet line is a people pleaser. In fact, I, with a Grinch-sized heart when it comes to cycling aesthetics, rode this kit on several rides of […]
There aren’t many tri suits that I’ve tried on and thought, “Oh, that looks really cool. And I can wear it with arm warmers!” Nope, in fact I’ve often descried the tri suit as a necessary piece of my training kit. We all know just how versatile triathletes have to […]
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 […]
