A few years ago I was bit by the Single Speed bug. I loved it for the time being, but I gradually moved away from it and back into multi-geared bikes. I have to admit, when I was riding SS, I had so much fun and felt like I was in some great climbing shape.…

As some of you may know, cycling specific wind breakers or winter clothing can cost as much as a $100. The reason being is because for the most part, they do work. But wouldn’t be great if you could get your cold weather riding done with stuff you may already have? If you don’t have…

The dilemma is trying to figure out which jersey/shorts and socks would be appropriate for the ride. Personally I like to…

Wednesday was Priscilla’s Crazy Sock Birthday Ride. We gathered the usual suspects, minus Doc Thunda, he said something about having to go to Laguna Beach to get custom fitted for skinny jeans. Anyhow, the point of having a Crazy Sock ride is to wear CRAZY SOCKS! Well I have some good news, the crew showed…
