Winter Riding Gear 2012
Pinkbike.com &bull Jan 20, 2012
Pinkbike Winter gear made cheap-ish and easyAh, the heart of winter. Up until the current "Snowpocalypse", the Pacific Northwest and the Vancouver area have seen a mild winter so far; December 2011 was the driest December on record for the Washington Cascades.

Sugoi RSE Bib Shorts Review
Feed the Habit &bull Oct 31, 2011
This year, I've had the opportunity to review several styles of cycling bibs. I've grown to prefer wearing bibs to shorts due to the added comfort and consistent coverage they provide. There are trade-offs (mostly bathroom-related), but it's worth it. The last pair of bib shorts in for review this year were the Sugoi RSE Bibs. I have a pair of… Full Story »
