  • iPhone Software for Gear Calculations (I’m not kidding)

    This is just about one of the geekiest things to hit the Bike Nerd Kingdom in a long time - and I’m impressed. About 6 weeks ago, I crossed a line that I swore I’d never go near.  I started geeking out on gear inches.  Two reasons: I was in the throes of spec-ing out my [...]

  • Damocles Lust: Ok, I Admit It Was Me

    About a month ago, Kenji posted a picture of his bike with hearts photoshopped all around it (I can’t find the entry, because he posts so freaking much, or I’d put it here). Anyway, along with the picture he noted: “Someone is lusting after my bike” I admit it. It was me. That...

  • NiteRider Delivers: Classy Service From the Leader in Bike Lighting

    With the year’s longest days upon us, most people aren’t thinking about their bike lights, but the ample daylight provided the perfect opportunity to fix my ailing NiteRider MiNewt. I don’t actually need it, so I can bear the thought of sending it away for the RMA process. The MiNewt...

  • Gear Friday: Bundle Up, Buttercup

    No shocker here.  This Gear Friday is dedicated to my favorite ways to stay warm during Portland’s Endless Winter. I can ride for about an hour in almost any kind of weather, without a ton of fancy gear.  It’s when the rides start getting longer than that (which is basically all...

  • Gear Friday: It’s All About the Kulo

    I remember with great clarity the first time Sal pulled out the chamois butter. That moment was characterized by a creeping feeling of horror, amazement, curiosity, and amusement. "You’re going to do what with that?" I’d asked him. Needless to say, I shook my head, chuckled softly...

  • Shoe Poll Closes Today: Nike? Really?

    I’m going to close the running shoe poll today so if you’ve been holding off, hoping to be the dark horse, now’s the time to come charging forth. I don’t know why, but I’m surprised that Nike is so far out in front.  I shouldn’t be I guess - I wore Nikes for years...

  • Bike Fit: Michael Sylvester, Genius in Residence

    There’s nothing quite like watching someone set to work doing something that they are really, really good at.  It’s the way I feel when I see Sal racing his bike, or when I watch my mother interview someone, or see my sister presenting to a group. People in their element.  People...

  • Santa Came Early: Iro is my Hero

    My mom is going blow a gasket if she reads this (she’s adamant about Christmas gifts being left until Christmas although that never stopped her from unwrapping and then re-wrapping her own gifts early - I’m not kidding). Santa just came in a brown UPS truck and dropped off my present. ...

  • The Mother of All Sports Bras

    When it comes to sports bras, I’m partial.  Not fancy, but partial.  You may think that it’s not important for us microscopically endowed ladies but I’m here to tell you - it is. For years and years and years my favorite sports bras were two plain black ones that I got from...
