Over here in our the neck of the states, skies wait for months on end to rain, and then decide to pour out all at once over a few weeks. We’re currently in that storm cycle, so the timing couldn’t be better that we started testing Gore Wear’s (aka Gore-Tex) […]

Long, long ago. At an Interbike far, far away, we tried cutting an OTTOLOCK with bolt cutters. We put dents in the outer shell of the strappy lock, but we couldn’t cut through the kevlar reinforced, stainless steel layers. Impressive. Most impressive. Recently, OTTO got an update, and version two […]
The scene? Dirt, sand, rocks, and barriers. The first cyclocross race of the season on my brand new Trek Boone 7 with disc brakes. Scratch-free, beautiful, and still sporting an uncut steerer tube. I know, I know–dangerous in a racing environment. But the last of my worries was getting my […]
When we first met the kind folks at Alter Cycles back at Sea Otter, a quick look at their unconventional bicycles didn’t convince us that all the marketing claims could be true. It only took one lap around the festival to show us that this bike has something special going […]

You know the numbing pain. The toe-crushing discomfort of ill-fitting cycling shoes. Pinky toes screaming at you to stop your training ride and immediately build a bonfire to destroy those kicks once and for all. You are not alone. I also feel your struggle. I also have buckled under the […]
If there’s one thing in road cycling culture that causes anxiety–more than clipless pedals–it’s getting your kit just right. Kask, makers of some very excellent helmets and some dang Koo sunglasses, have teamed up with designer and former pro rider Iris Slappendel to create a new collection of coordinated women’s […]
Fans of Shimano’s Ultegra R8000 have a new hint to drop to Santa Claus this year as Pioneer is officially shipping their Ultegra R8000 compatible power meters. Because there’s nothing like telling Old St. Nick that the most important sentiment is caring . . . caring to know your exact […]
