You COULD go stand in line at the Best Buy or some mall out in the west end on Friday and fight with other consumers to buy a T.V. or whatever new gadget that somebody designed to make it easier to play on Facebook so you can sit on a chair and put on some...
Stage 3 started with 5 minutes of promenade through a town and then climbed to 11000 feet to Vulcan Irazu (http://www.inmagine.com/searchterms/vulcan.html) which was spewing smoke. It took us 5 whole hours to do the 44k up to it. If you are asking yourself how we could average less than 5 miles hour for 5 hours,...
Taking a spin on two wheels is what freedom feels like to a boy. And this kid’s bike is his ticket! Durable, steel frame with low stand-over height and dual brakes will get him where he wants to go AND back home again in one piece. “I purchased this for my 6 year old son....
Stage 2 is allegedly easier than stage one, easier in that it takes an hour less, is only 62k, and the time cut is not too tough. One recurring theme in the race as well as Costa Rica in general is the lack of good information on distances and times. I honestly think the organizers...

Nov 16, 2011 • When I quit my job as a messenger, nine years ago, I promised myself that I would never again ride in cold rain. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy riding in the rain, if its warm.

La Ruta On a whim and with zero deliberation, an old college buddy and I signed up for La Ruta de los Conquistadores. I am a terrible mountain biker, and Scott was a good road rider, half his life ago in 1990. Shortly thereafter he went into the Peace Corps already suffering from the Epstein...
I don’t know about you but I am well know for constantly messing around with the setup on my bikes. Part of it is fueled by the luxury of working in a bike shop and constantly being around cool new gear but most of it is just because I like to tinker with stuff. After...
These wheels look great and most important, feel amazing. Out of the box they are straight, round and the dish is perfect. The Zipps make a super sound while going fast or coasting. They are clad in Continental 23mm 4000s front and rear with latex tubes at 95psi/105psi. Acceleration is what I feel the most over...
While the custom bike that I am having Stijl Cycles build for me is still in the early stages of pre-production design I have found time to start getting parts together for the build. This bike is going to be the ultimate high speed, all weather, road adventure machine so disc brakes were a must....

A CO2 inflator built just for the Mountain Bike rider with a mini back-up hand pump built right in for inflation security! CO2 cartridge stores in handle when not in use and doubles as handle extension...
