I’ve decided to incorporate some road riding in order to get in better shape. So the night before my first road ride, I pumped up my front tire to about 40psi. Normally I run them in the low 30’s, but I didn’t need the extra traction so out came the pump. After pumping up the…

Priscilla has this technique down pretty packed. The reason why its important for your to get off your saddle when you ride is to basically re-position your weight over the center of the bike. The idea is to get your butt behind your bottom bracket. So if you’re going down a rock bed or a…
I’ve had the Panaracer Rampage as my front tire and the Maxxis Crossmark on the rear for a little over a month now. I’ve got over 150 miles on them in that month (yes, I know that some people put that many miles in just a couple of rides, but I’m a recreational mountain biker…
I’m relatively short…in height. I stand at a towering 5′7″ and I weigh about 190lbs. I can’t wear lycra or club/sport fitted jerseys because it looks terrible on me. My gut is hanging out no matter how much I try to suck it in. Well the lycra/spandex stuff I don’t mind so much because I…
One of my favorite places to go other than the bike shop is the .99 cents store. I typically go there to get my degreasers, furniture polish, energy drinks, candies, and everything else that tickles my fancy like a ping pong paddle set…yup .99 cents!

I was turned on to this great stanchion lube by Wayne Kardol at Jax Bicycles. This stuff works great! I’d totally recommend it to anyone. But be careful and make sure you don’t get it on your disc or rim brakes…this stuff is a pain to get off. However, one you get it on your…
Mine were! That’s why I got this little tub of Udderly Smooth. The directions state that I have to make sure my udder and teat parts are thoroughly washed. Then I apply to my udder after each milking. Making sure I massage it into my skin. I remember seeing this product featured in may cycling…
Ever since we got these Tag Wheels, I’ve been itching to install them and I finally did! We’re using the Woodstock 707 as the guinea pig for this review. Moe came by that afternoon and gave the wheels a shot. Then yesterday I had to come in for a few hours at work. Since my…
(ed. This post is my opinion. It does not reflect the belief of the mentioned companies.) Not that I’m saying working for KHS Bicycles, Trek, Redline or any other bike company would suck. I’m sure there’s perks to it…especially the deep discounts! But what I’m getting at…it would suck to hear all of the “Know…
