On October 2, 2011, some friends of mine and I headed up to Pisgah National Forest for a special ride. My wife was scheduled to have our first baby that coming Tuesday, so this was a chance to get out for one last weekend before our son came. The weather was perfect, the trails were [...]
I have seen a lot of different things over the years, but this has to be the most extreme trials maneuvers I have ever seen done on carbon road bikes. Last year, a video was released by Martyn Ashton about his road bike commute where he did some trails and dirt moves, but this one [...]
Over the weekend, two conclusions to arguably two of the biggest stories in professional cycling doping scandals finally came to an end. Alberto Contador received a 2 year ban from cycling for his positive test for clenbuterol at the 2010 Tour de France and Lance Armstrong’s two year long investigation into doping was closed with [...]
Outside Magazine recently ran an article titled, “Who pinched my ride” where Patrick Symmes talks about stolen bicycles and his experience (with multiple rides stolen) in New York City. While Symmes is probably in the worst place in the US for bicycle theft, it is something that happens every where to every group of cyclists. I [...]
I came across this info graphic about cars and bikes this morning that I thought was really valuable. It is…by far…one of the best illustrations I have seen to date on driver/road biker relations. I can not begin to tell you how many rides I have been on where a road biker will yell, scream, [...]
So we posted up the version from NSMB.com that depicted typical comments made by mountain bikers…and more specifically…those in the North Shore. People for Bikes thought it was a pretty cool idea, so they put together this clip of “Shit Cyclists Say” for the roadie crowd. It’s amazing how even though riding groups are spread [...]
Anyone who knows the long history of Magura should not be surprised with this announcment. They are going to be the first company to go mainstream with hydraulic rim brakes for tri and road bikes. Magura carved a name for themselves back in the late 80′s and early 90′s by providing the first hydraulic rim [...]
A funny thing happened over the weekend. I posted a picture of the “view from my desk” that included four of the six bikes in my office racked up and everyone on Facebook seemed to share a similar story…keeping our bikes inside the house. That got me to thinking. Most of the comments were from [...]
Whether you are new to the scene or a veteran of the road or trail, there is absolutely one thing you need to have with you on every ride…a basic understanding of routine maintenance on your bike. Over the years, I have seen a lot of riders go through the same motions. Everything on the [...]

A friend of mine sent me over a link to Renvo Bicycles and I found their lineup rather interesting. Wood bikes are nothing new. There are manufacturers that have been experimenting with different wood frames for awhile. However, this seems like the first construction of a wood frame that actually looks like a real mountain [...]
With winter firmly here to make life more interesting for cyclists how should you be modifying your bike? Step 1: Fenders The first step is also the most obvious one. Fenders. If you’ve never heard of them you must be living in a magical world where whenever you go through a muddy puddle, it doesn’t [...]
