RaphaThermalBibs

I’ll never forget my first pair of thermal shorts—I still have them, in fact. Traditionally a pro-only garment, fleece lined bibs are slowly gaining a foothold in many companies’ product lines. A new addition to their own autumn/winter line, Rapha’s Pro Team Thermal Bib Shorts offer a high-end option for those looking to take the thermal plunge. I’ve been pairing them with the new Merino Knee Warmers (and a little bit of an embro) on days when I previously would have worn tights. (Folks who ride in winters more “cool” than “cold” should grab a pair.) If my wallet makes it through...Continue Reading

Enter the Mopha Tool Wrap. It’s light, holds lots of stuff, and looks good strapped to the rails of your saddle thanks to a custom leather toe strap. Hand-made from wax canvas with leather trim, the roll has 10 pockets and provides a pretty sizeable “workbench” when unrolled (16″ by 7″). If my sweetie were a cyclist, I’d individually wrap all the tools and essential items she’ll need to stock it, then stuff the whole mess into a stocking to be opened one-by-one. (I hope my sweetie’s reading, because I could use another one for my other bike.)

Pros: Hand-made, durable,...Continue Reading

The holidays are a time to give gifts and thanks. This year, our Holiday Gift Guide is a chance to celebrate both–giving and thanking, that is. First, it’s our opportunity to highlight several products we would be happy to give to any cyclist or fan. But it’s also a chance for us to say “thank you” to the many generous people and companies who have honored us throughout the year with samples of their newest and greatest gear.

So for the sake of full disclosure: yes, we did receive some of these items as gifts. That said, we’ve chosen to include those...Continue Reading

Rich’s tweet about a Continental announcement caught my attention. Continental claimed that Tony Martin, 2011′s World Champion, had achieved his decisive win on their new Grand Prix TT clincher. A Worlds win on a clincher, let alone the time trial seemed a little far fetched.

Ryan Trebon (LTS-Felt) was the earlier animator grabbing the holeshot ahead of Peeters and Van der Haar. In fact, Trebon spent much of the first part of the race on the front, which was all part of the game plan. “I like to race hard,” Trebon said, explaining that being out front “keeps yourself safe…there were a lot of crashes and sure you burn [a bit of] energy, but it keeps you safe.”

Tim Johnson (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld) was the first big name to suffer from a crash. Luckily for Johnson he was a few hundred meters from the pits and was able...Continue Reading
