Our bodies are well oiled machines that rely on muscle memory to get the job done. Some of those actions are automated and others are conditioned over time to perform a certain task. With road biking, it is no different. If you are wanting to get faster on the bike, there is still no replacement [...]
If you have been on a road bike for more than 5 seconds, you already know that you can ride faster with less energy exerted in a paceline. By sharing the wind resistance among multiple riders, the pack can move forward, faster as a whole than one at a time. In an organized pace line, [...]
As a blog owner and general cycling obsessed fanatic, my pedal induced forward motion sickness spreads through all aspects of my life. To find inspiration to ride, write and live the life of biking, I indulge in everything biking related on the web, trail and road. While this is not a comprehensive list and is [...]
Two weeks ago, I hit you guys up with a simple question in relation to those skinny tired machines that don’t like to get dirty…road bikes. Basically, do you ride one or not and a little bit more detail into why given the questions that were presented. To be honest, the results surprised me a [...]
This past weekend, the historic Roswell Criterium took place in downtown Roswell, GA. Positioned on the same weekend as the legendary Athens Twilight Crit, the Roswell Crit brings in some of the best sprinters in the US all trying to get crucial points for the series. With an event this close to home, you can [...]
As I was sitting watching/photographing the Roswell crit yesterday, I got to thinking (scary…I know). The crowd watching the race was almost entirely roadies. My cycling obsessed mind tries to venture into as many pedal induced forward motion activities as possible with my true love always involving dirt. Over time, I have come to appreciate [...]
For many people, the scariest part of bike commuting is riding with cars. Four thousand pounds of metal and plastic hurtling past you at twenty five miles per hour is enough to make most people a little nervous. However, like hills, weather, and distance there are skills and techniques to make commuting safer and less [...]
In the southeast United States, we finally hit daylight savings time and the promise of more riding as the weather gets warmer and it stays light outside longer. Normally, we get to ride through the winter as wickedly cold days are few and far between, but…this year…has been filled with nothing but rain, snow and [...]
On the northern part of the world, it is cold and rainy right now. Typically, cold and rain are not a good mix when it comes to road biking and if you are even a little bit farther north…ice, snow and other winter conditions virtually keep you inside all winter…much less worrying about getting on [...]
Over the past year, I have noticed an increasing trend on Facebook and other social media…lashing out at cyclists on the road. Now that everyone has a voice through fan pages on everything from sleep to your favorite website, there have been some antagonistic fan pages towards cyclists and road bikers setup on Facebook. These [...]
One of the things I love the most about the road bike is the ability to leave straight from my house and get in as many miles as my legs can handle. There is something about the solo road ride that is extremely peaceful but motivating at the same time. Yes…hitting 40+ mph inches away [...]
A friend of mine, Jason Milliron, pointed me in the direction of this video late last week. Really shows the visual power of wattage recorders and video for training purposes and just general “hey…look what I did!”. From the owner of the video: I’ve been trying to do this on my own for weeks, but [...]
