Nobody from the gang was available to ride at lunch today, so I became unmotivated and stayed in my cube. I would forgo the pleasantries of two-wheeled recreation, and work on my status report instead. Later in the day, however, I got an instant message from Kristy saying she wanted to ride. [...]

I’ve been riding through the winter for several seasons now, and each year I learn something new or acquire a new piece of gear that makes being out in the elements more enjoyable. In my experience, the hardest part to keep comfortable have been my hands and feet.
I used some old ski gloves last [...]

I didn’t think my Mary Bars could get much cooler, but then I stuck a bell on them! I was visiting Dennis at the Bike Habitat when I came across just the bell I have been looking for. This bell is “The Original Incredibell” from the Mirrycle Corporation. It’s hard to get [...]

Sorry in advance to all foodies that may have gotten here looking for the latest in oviparous food processing, but this review is for the Egg Beater pedals from Crank Brothers.
My introduction to clipless pedals began with Shimanos. They were set to a medium tension, and I fell down a lot learning how to [...]

In a previous post, I reviewed the Mary Bars from On One as installed on the On One 29er. At the end of the test period, I felt that the Mary’s didn’t feel quite right on the 29er. I suspect it was just a bit too much rise for my tastes on that [...]

I’ve been on a quest for the perfect pair of Fall Cycling Pants for quite some time now. Although highly functional, tights can be a bit uncomfortable if you have to spend anytime off the bike; for example, walking around the office after a commute or when getting ready for a lunch time ride. [...]

Fall is a great season for riding, but dressing for the cooler weather can be difficult. It’s usually too cold for shorts and a tee-shirt, but too hot for heavy pants and a jacket. Either combo will leave you uncomfortable.
Everyone has heard the term, “Dress in layers”, and this is the best advice for fall [...]

Unlike the narrow straight bars available on almost every mountain bike in the early 90’s, there are a lot of new handlebars on the market today with a variety of bends and rise to suit different riders and styles. I recently acquired some On One Mary Bars, and mounted them on a single speed [...]
