2013 Santa Cruz Blur TR: Same Awesome Trail Bike, Now More Affordable

Rebuilt: the Aptos Pump Track

This weekend we managed to get away for a day and got a few loops in on the UCSC trails in Santa Cruz before heading to Aptos to check out the Mountain Bike Festival. The Aptos Pump Track had recently been rebuilt, and Inga was excited to get some time in on it— especially since [...]

The Inga Chronicles: LUNA Chix Summit 2013

I joined my first mountain biking team this year — the San Francisco Bay Area LUNA Chix. The local team is made up of 10 intelligent, fun and fit women who all have a passion for cycling and advocacy and I feel very honored to be part of it. The LUNA Chix Program includes 26 LUNA Chix [...]

Stuff We Like: Harbor Freight Tool Cart

One of the biggest challenges of apartment living and maintaining a fleet of bikes is where to store tools and parts. It was a lot worse when we lived in SF, but now we’re living on the other side of the bay there is a bit more room to play with. It also meant I [...]

An Email to Friends of China Camp

I just sent off this email to friendsofchinacamp@gmail.com after receiving an email from Michael Mejia, the president of the Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay, in regards to the meeting regarding fair fees at China Camp State Park. Mountain Bikers are currently being asked to pay $3.00 to ride a park that used to be free. [...]

Night Rides on a Budget: Cree XM-L LED Lights

It’s never been less expensive to get into riding bikes in the dark. Before LED’s made their dramatic evolution from blinking commuter lights to nighttime powerhouses of luminosity, our only real option for hauling ass in the dark was an HID light. The problem was that HID bulbs were expensive— just single bulb could set you [...]

Bay Area Bike Parks Face Fundraising Challenges

Damn, bike parks are expensive propositions. We’re so close to having a legit bike park in the Bay Area, but before that happens, there are some serious fund raising hurdles that need to be cleared. SF’s McLaren Bike Park recently received a $250,000 grant, but in reality, that’s just the amount needed to really kickstart [...]

Review: Timbuk2 Snoop Camera Messenger Bag

There was a time when I lived with a Timbuk2 messenger bag on my back. The thing accompanied me everywhere; in fact, years later I still have that damn bag, and although it looks a bit beat-down it is in decent shape and completely functional. Now that I’m 10 years older and my back started [...]

Flow Trail Test Ride: BTCEB Girls Take a Test Run

Last week, at the BTCEB’s monthly Ride Like a Girl group session at Tamarancho, the ladies received a bit of special treatment in the form of sampling the newest addition to the trail network, the flow trail. The trail isn’t due to open for a few more weeks, but it seems that being a lady [...]

Softride Hang5 Hitch Rack

We’ve been keeping an eye out for a bike rack that can hold a good number of bikes for a while. While we’re currently happy with our rear hitch rack, (a Kuat 2-Bike) we’d ideally like to be able to cart at least three bikes on the road with us when we leave town. The [...]

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 [...]
