An end to gridlock?

0 Comments 28 March 2012

Is the answer to a smooth, rush-hourless commute, free of road-rage as simple as ending car ownership? Computer scientists at the University of Texas think so. As our cities and populations continue to grow, the realities of limited auto-opportunistic travel are quickly becoming apparent and the stress cracks and fractures of overtaxed infrastructures are already [...]

Perspective of Power

6 Comments 21 March 2012

Have you ever seen a power profile from a pro cyclist? Ever wonder how you match up on the Power/Watts per Kilo scale verses the pros? I have… And, it ain’t exactly pretty. Just a few weeks ago when I was in Calgary to visit with my pal and Bikeridr Co-Blogger, Ken Hurd, we decided [...]

Ultramøntane

0 Comments 14 March 2012

Conflicted by the idea that “off-season” implied that serious riders must migrate to warmer climates, the duo of Connor Macleod and Derek Dix set to create a showcase of riding in southwestern British Columbia. From building trails, ripping up the damp and snowy single track or sipping on Spicebox whiskey (one of Sheldon’s fav’s), Ultramøntane [...]

10,000 Steps

3 Comments 07 March 2012

Have you ever heard someone at the office say, ‘gotta get my 10,000 steps in’, as they cheerily passed by? For some reason, I felt like I was hearing it more often lately. But, it wasn’t until a co-worker of mine, started saying it as part of a running joke that I wondered just how [...]

Coming back from illness

0 Comments 29 February 2012

Thankfully I’ve been able to stave off serious injury during the past few years through preventitive measures like massage, masochistic work with my foam roller and a little luck. Illness on the other hand is something everybody deals with at one or another, and unfortunately for me, pneumonia has kept me off the bike and [...]

Flashride

0 Comments 22 February 2012

I’ve heard of a flashmob, but I hadn’t heard of a flashride until today. My initial reaction: Brilliant. Today, hundreds of cyclists are set to meet at The Mall to the Houses of Parliament, in London to ensure that legislators truly have them in mind when they table the issue of cycling safety, in wake [...]

CX Worlds – North America vs. The World

1 Comment 15 February 2012

Humbling. When looking for adjectives to describe the Cyclocross World Championships in Koksijde, Belgium that’s definitely one adjective that comes to mind. Ryan Trebon was the only North American rider that managed to crack the top 20 (18th) – and was also the only member of that crew to finish the race – Jeremy Powers [...]

Yes, I’m Now On Strava

0 Comments 25 January 2012

After much chiding, I finally relented and signed up with Strava. ‘Another online social network…really? Really…?’ Yes. And if you’re like me, and a bit frayed around the edges with already trying to keep up with Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter (maybe others), then adding yet another place to log into and catch up on [...]

Cycling ‘Threads’

6 Comments 18 January 2012

Following up on, and in response to Ken’s most recent post, ‘Ode to the Parka‘, or something like that, I thought it’d be cool to do some looking around to see where the best cycling threads are coming from these days. Obviously, Rapha, from the UK, is going to sit at the top of my list. [...]

Ode to the cycling jacket

0 Comments 12 January 2012

For better or worse, I’m not one of those guys who has a jacket for every event. Sometimes I wish it were different, but this was the hand I was dealt… My clothing needs to multitask, and yes, that includes some of my cycling gear as well. Now, this isn’t to say that I’m going [...]

I had posted this great video from Specialized/Lululemon on Facebook a while ago. I think it’s really nice to see this level of production for a woman’s team in cycling. I’m very interested to see the type of traction and coverage Specialized/Lululemon gets this season, especially in the women’s demographic. They’ve got some huge cycling [...]
