Old Meets New in Classic styles — Kitsbow & Giro New Road @Sea Otter 2013

While some of the offerings from these manufacturers won’t appeal to everyone, those that appreciate attention to detail and classic lines (with the income to participate) are sure to pause and take notice. Merino wool has seen a resurgence in performance cycling wear for its moisture wicking qualities as well as comfort, and unlike many synthetics [...]

Montague Boston Folding 700c Single Speed Bike

We’ve never been big fans of folding bikes. Although they seem to work well for their intended use, they look pretty geeky, and that’s a hurdle that I personally find hard to clear. Perhaps it’s the use of 20″ wheels and the long, goofy looking steerers, but I just can’t get over it. You’d think [...]

2012 SF Bike Expo Pedal Savvy Bike Fashion Show

I started wearing cycling socks all the time a few years ago. My reasoning: why should I limit comfortable sock time to just the time I spend on the bike? And if you use a bike to get around in your day to day, wearing comfortable clothing that is conducive to life on a bike seems a [...]

I was walking around SF the other day and came across some huge jumps…

The Dew Tour was in San Francisco last weekend, and with it, throngs of teens, tweens, and groms. To hold the event, the area in front of city hall was turned into the venue complete with a skate park and the largest set of dirt jumps I’ve ever seen in the middle of a large [...]

Put some steez in that whip

“There ain’t nothing better than the feeling you get, while throwing the bike sideways and throwing a twisted whip.” That quote is just one snippet from the lyrics in the following video. Is it a bit silly? Maybe, but totally spot on. And now I want to get my dirt jump bike out and hit [...]

DZR Shoes Releases new Trail/ Enduro Offerings

I’ve been running a set of the DZR Ovis shoes for a while now, and they’re by far the most stylish clip-in shoe I’ve ever owned. (check out my review on ih8bikes for details) As a fan of their stuff, you can bet I was stoked when a brand-new preproduction sample of their latest offerings recently [...]

Greg Minnaar rules on a CX bike too

I just came across this edit of Greg Minnaar getting some time in on his cyclecross set up, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cross bike ridden on a trail with that much style — ever. Minnaar is obviously one of the top riders in the world, but I happen to also know [...]

Style Check: Bike Park Style for the Ladies

Sometimes its nice to get away from the same trails we always ride and mix it up with some bike park action. Riding at the bike park forces us to focus solely on skills and technique. Since we’re sprinting at jumps and cranking the pedals hard it also happens to be good cross training. Mixing [...]
