I’ve just been reading an article which concerns the building of bikes that don’t fall over.  Obviously when I first looked at the listing I got pretty excited about the concept of some sort of zero gravity stabilization device and my science fiction mind went into overdrive considering some sort of gyro based anti-grav system…  [...]

A very important piece of equipment for cyclists, but which is often neglected is a good pair of cycling glasses. They should really be worn every time you go out for a ride, just like you should wear your helmet. A cyclist’s eyes are under constant and often invisible attack from things like the sun’s [...]

This guestpost details the Schwinn Predator BMX bike.  I have to admit, she looks a beauty! The Schwinn Predator Pro is totally awesome! I love everything about the Predator. It’s light, fast, and smooth riding. The front and rear tires have been designed with a unique thickness to create this ride. This Schwinn’s design is so cool. [...]

One of the problems of riding a mountain bike and trying to use it like a road bike is one of resistance.  I get really frustrated that I can’t go really quickly, especially on the down hills, and when I am running in the big cog on the crank and about 5 on the back (I have a [...]

It’s just gone really cold.  Very unpleasant, and I don’t like the cold.  Bit of a wimp you see. I never used to be.  I would get up in the mornings and cycle to college with leather jacket on, even in the depths of winter. But these days I seem to feel the cold more. [...]

Cycling bottle cages are one of those things that are not considerations you have when purchasing a new bike but shortly after you get home and gloat over your new purchase you think, “darn, where am I going to put the bottles, and why didn’t I buy them while I was at it?” Of course, [...]

If you want to rock your bike up hills, then you can either go for a small frame, or get one that fits and go for a compact. But what is the difference between compact and traditional frames? Round where I live there are  couple of blasts from the past.  The Raleigh Banana.  Apart from [...]

Upgrading your wheelset is one of the easier ways in which you can improve your bike set up.  On cheaper bikes, the money is often saved on the wheels simply because the manufacturers expect you to just do that as soon as you can.  In this post I will give you a quick list of [...]

Starting out road bike cycling it all looks very expensive, on paper at least.  By the time you have invested in either lycra shorts or (assos) cycling bib shorts, and then found a cycling jersey to your taste, looked at road cycling shoes and decided which ones to go for, you may be already downsizing in [...]
