Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
I need to say out loud that this is going to be mildly political, so you’ve been warned. Sorry. Trust me, it is relevant to the content domain of the channel, but it takes me a while to get there. So hold on to the end. I also want to say that I’m more than happy to have a deeper conversation around these topics. I have an opinion, I don’t have all…
First video in the “how to make riding the trainer suck less” series. A seatpost that makes a HUGE difference in trainer comfort.…
There is a lot to like about Wahoo’s new $600 ACE bike computer, but there’s a lot to… um… feel conflicted about… The wind sensor is really neat, but the software doesn’t really make it that useful. There’s a big screen, but the battery life isn’t awesome. There’s a whole lot more feel conflicted about in DCR’s review, well worth a watch, but the TL;DW is that this bad boy needs more…
I have to admit that I’m really struggling with trying to find a positive way to process Strava’s actions here. You should absolutely watch DCR’s video on the topic. There’s a lot to unpack, none of it good. The TL;DW is that Strava seems to be trying to euthanize its position as a data broker/aggregator for everyone’s activities by cutting off 3rd party apps at the knees. If they want to pull…
I see a lot of very similar questions out on the Internet that fall into the “I did my first gravel event, it didn’t go well, how do I fix it?”. My first gravel race was exactly that. It was one of the most demoralizing things I’ve ever done on a bike. I did not want to repeat that, so I put a huge amount of effort into figuring out how to…
It can be a challenge to get your TT/Tri bike in a workstand if you don’t know how to do it. This is a quick tip on how to make that happen.…
The strangest thing happens when anyone mentions cyclists on Facebook (yeah, I know, I’m old) – the get off my road folks come out in force. Most of the time, I ignore it. You can’t have a rational discussion with someone who is having a faith based rage fest. But sometimes, despite my better judgement, I wade in. Slow day at work today :).…
Normally I like to get these out pretty quick. Unfortunately, I messed up and wasn’t able to make that happen. Better late than never 😛…
I hope that this is more than an IP and branding grab, and Giant will offer support to Stages’ customers. The article isn’t clear on this point, however, so who knows. Giant Group, through its SPIA Cycling subsidiary, has acquired Stages Cycling from Foundation Fitness for $20.1 million. A U.S. bankruptcy judge has approved a purchase agreement, which had been opposed by some creditors and an inventor who is in a patent…
I was still recovering from the Garmin crazy town that is the fēnix 8 when I stumbled across DCR’s Enduro 3 video; which dropped this morning. Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t get what Garmin is doing here.…
