We’d like to congratulate Jerry Landrum of Reno, Nevada for winning our Pink Tuxedo Contest. His answer to our question, “WHY BACON IS SO GOOD!” Bacon…..giving pigs a purpose! Now he’ll look as cool as this guy!

I received a small sample kit of Chocolate #9 to review. But to be up front, I really didn’t think this stuff would work nor taste good. You see, I’ve had various brands such as Hammer Gel, Gu, and the like in my stomach and most, if not all of them have always given me…

Ibex has been a company I’ve been watching for a while. I love their clean style and handsome clothing. Over the past few months I’ve put to the test their Indie Full Zip Short Sleeve Jersey, Giro Short Sleeve Mountain Jersey, Giro Neo Long Sleeve Jersey and the Duo Short. Riding them around all of…

If you’re anything like me, we’ve got short arms like a T-Rex, so that means using stems longer than 60mm makes my back hurt. For the most part, bikes come stock with a minimum of 90mm stems. I usually recommend swapping out the stem before anything else on a bike. Not only does this help…
