We’ve been so busy riding that we forgot that we actually have a Blog!! Any-who, it has been a while since we’ve put together a bicycle and boy, this bike will be nuts. The frame was ordered from a local company that loves to ship their bikes and frames in a box with a picture…
We have been quiet because we have been doing more riding than typing! So as I get older one of the easiest but most repetitive tasks in cycling annoyed the crapped out of me: Pumping tires. After doing some research I decided to try the portable Nulksen Tire Inflator. I decided to try this one…
This bike has an interesting back story; RL bought it from Art and then I traded a Harley Davidson for this bike since RL had retired from mountain biking. This was going to be my first full suspension carbon bike so I was really excited to ride it. I took this bike on its maiden…
I was looking for shoes that could be used for commuting, gravel, mountain and road. I was also looking for a shoe with the BOA system since I am too lazy to tie my shoelaces. I bought this pair of Pearl Izumi X-Alp Summit shoes, and man I am not disappointed! These have been my…
As someone who loves to peruse Craigslist, FB Marketplace and other selling sites, I see ads of “vintage bikes” asking a premium price. So my question is, are they really worth it or are they just old bikes? For example, this 1999 Specialized asking a cool grand for it. Yeah, it is nice, looks in…

I’ve been riding with Crank brothers pedals since I can remember. I have them on my mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel bikes and even my fixed gear bike! Crank Brothers Eggbeaters I gravitated towards Crank Brothers pedals because of their 4 way entry; I specifically hated the single-sided road pedals so when Crank Brothers came…
If you do a search for #bikefishing, you’ll find that it’s become a thing. Typically people with beards, Carhartt beanies riding gravel bikes are into this trend. Though I’ve ridden my bicycles to local parks and streams since I was a kid and never really considered it a “thing.” until grown men who probably own…
UPDATE: Click here to see our new Poseidon bike: The FX! When Poseidon bikes released their affordable gravel bikes I went ahead and ordered both of them. I rode the Poseidon X for about 3 months before selling it to my brother and this why: Let’s start with the good; the bike was very affordable…
