RIP RGT, check out MyWhoosh
If you’re one of RGT’s 47 paying customers, first off let me offer my condolences. Loss is hard. Take your time, don’t rush the stages. When you’re ready, a friend who, for reasons that completely baffle me, but I don’t care to explore in depth, doesn’t like Zwift. He filled me in on a new platform called MyWhoosh, or maybe not new, but I’ve never heard of because… I get my virtual…

State Bicycle “All-Road” Suspension Fork
I’m not completely sold on a suspension fork for my gravel bike, but gravel is a very wide category. I don’t tend to go for the more MTB leaning gravel, so if that’s your thing, this State Bicycle suspension fork might be perfect for you, and since it’s State you know it’s going to be reasonably priced. So maybe the $450 à la carte, or $350 with a bike, is worth a…

A friend recently bought this OBED Baseline All-road bike. They were nice enough to let me do the unboxing on camera, so we could all see what the experience is like, and what to expect if you buy an OBED.…

About Damn Time, Shimano. About Damn Time…
Reports of Shimano Ultegra and Dura-Ace cranks falling apart, or in Shimano speak “bonding separation issue”, have been floating around for several years. Up until this point, AFAIK, they have been completely silent on the issue and left it up to owners to bear the cost for replacement, and pain if something goes catastrophically wrong……

Moots Express eBike – 100 mile range gravel e-bike
Moots is best known for expensive, awesome, titanium gravel bikes. So the “from $10,000” price tag on their newly announced “Moots Express eBike” gravel e-bike, or maybe e-gravel-bike, did not surprise me at all. But that it is carbon, and promises ~100 miles of range, did. Obviously, there’s some caveating around the whole “100 miles” thing. Judging range is really hard given elevation, wind, temperature, etc., but even if the real number…

Can I get an Amen!?
This article speaks to me. I totally agree, and I think it captures so much of how I feel around the difference between events like Unbound, and events like what Big River Gravel and the folks who organize Snaggy are doing. Some of it I think comes down to why the organizers are putting in the effort. I can’t believe that folks that are doing Unbound and the folks that are doing…

Bryton Gardia R300L Bike Radar Tail Light
I was an early adopter of bike radar, and I remain an enthusiastic evangelist around it because I see it as a critical safety device. Until recently, there was a lack of competition in the space, so I’m thrilled to see entrants from companies like Bryton, with its Gardia R300L.

Hey Adam, this one’s for you.
We all remember Adam, right? While not everyone is as eager to confirm that they are hostile towards to the existence of humans, there is a significant number of people who repeat the same horrible things every time a cyclist is killed by a car. Not that long ago someone was killed in Highland Park in a hit-and-run. As far as I know that homicide remains unsolved. It’s crazy that anyone who…
