  • Twitter brings us all just a bit closer

    The Nutrition newsletter from Carmichael Training Systems is always a great resource for ideas on diet and nutrition. I especially enjoy Chris Carmichael’s columns, and this one was no exception.

  • One less zip tie

    If you are a rider who buys your zip-ties by the canister, then you might as well click the back-button. But if you are interested in a more functional way to attach a battery-powered light to your bicycle, you may find this new invention from my friend Chico Gino intriguing. Gino’s Light Mount...

  • The Atlantis Gets a New Front Fork

    It has been a long time coming, but the Atlantis is finally stable with a front-load. It is a story that dates back to June 2007; when descending Idaho’s Bitteroot Mountains, the Atlantis went into an uncontrollable speed wobble. Actually, my beef with the Atlantis began well before that. The waning...

  • Road testing the Salsa Casseroll Triple

    You don’t have to be over 40 to dream about a bicycle that is comfortable, durable, and as capable of an all-day ride in the country as it is on a club ride in the city. Finding one bike that will do it all is the goal of many road riders, and not just those [...]

  • The renaissance will be televised

    Photograph courtesy of Ira Ryan Cycles. From a cyclist’s point of view, the attributes of a great place for road bike riding include beautiful routes, lots of organized rides, friendly clubs, and custom frame builders. Frame builders?

  • The ultimate randonneuring bike is a one-off

    Back in the 1970s, when young American frame builders were perfecting their craft, I was perfecting my own. We were all serious riders back in the day, but unlike these dudes, my first love was riding waves, not roads. Oh, I had a road bike, and a nice one, too. I rode it every day from [...]

  • Cool new products for long distance cyclists

    Oregon Randonneur Bert Lutz in Willamette Valley Wine Country with the Salsa Casseroll Ready to Ride is testing a number of new products that will be of interest to long distance road cyclists.

  • Edge of the envelope

    The Glacier’s Shadow- Part IV - For Seattle’s Greg Paley, the Glacier 1000 was a demonstration of what is possible when mind, body, and bike are aligned toward a meaningful goal. Completing a 1000 kilometer brevet within the 74 hour time limit would be a triumph for any long distance cyclist...

  • It’s not about the bike, it’s about me.

    The Glacier’s Shadow Part III - I finished the Glacier with time to spare, but the weight of my bike and my gear took its toll on my elapsed time. The weight I carry now is heavier still. Sitting on top of the world. The Atlantis on Thompson Pass, Western Montana. __________ Like so many cyclists...
