Bontrager NCS Fenders

I am an everyday bicycle rider. Rain, sleet, snow, hail, wind, dark, cold, hot, blustery, sleet, fog, I ride it in it all. Whatever the weather, I ride. One of the unsung hero’s of the everyday commuter/cyclist are fenders. They keep the bike, and me, dry, and clean of city road grime, puddles, or crushed […]

Trek Superfly 100 Pro SL – First Ride

I was quite hesitant to sell my Top Fuel 9.9 SL to get this Superfly 100 SL Pro. I lost many nights of sleep pondering 29 over 26 inch wheels. I thought about cornering in technical trail, how fast does the rear wheel spin up, can I table top these big ol’ wheels, how can […]

Enzo’s Cycling Products Oil Stick

Enzo’s Cycling Products in one of our sponsors, and the Oil Stick is one of their products. Even if they didn’t sponsor us, I would be using this stuff. Made from a pretty snazzy blend of oils, the Oil Stick leaves a protective film of eucalyptus smelling cold weather protection on your legs.

Enzo’s Cycling Products Buttonhole Chamois Cream

Love me some Buttonhole! Used to used DZ Nuts, which I also liked, by my backside likes the formula behind Enzo’s Buttonhole Chamois Cream better. A bit less tingle then the previous chamois motion lotion I used before, but that’s not a thing at all. Long lasting, a mitten full of this Buttonhole on your taint, and you are ready […]

GORE Tool Jacket

March in Chicago is a cruel mistress. One day she’s sunny and almost spring-like warm. Today, flurries and wind chills in the single digits. I spy a fellow randonneur out and about. A hoodie and pink skin.

The Lumina 350

Commuting on the lakefront after dark has it’s hazards; Rogue ice patches, ninja surprise u-turn runners, sudden corners while dozing at the handlebar. I love my flea combo, but something stronger was needed for a truly safe ride home.
