Review by Jon S. from Yelp

– 1/12/12 by Jon S. from Yelp I brought my road bike in recently for a tune-up and to buy some new accessories, and they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and they didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t really want or need. Good work.

Cold & Wet Outside, Warm & Dry Inside.

Love me some Chicago weather. Mmhmm. 37 degrees and raining in January. Most people don’t like going outside in this stuff, much less ride their bike in it. I used to be one of those folks. That was before I had the right gear for the weather. I rode in cotton t-shirts and cheap “rain” […]

Hey You Big Stud. A Bit About Studded Tires

Some people use them, some people don’t, and then there are the people who are curious about them, wondering what it would be like to have their own. The only way to know, is to try yourself. Until then, here is the low down on studded tires. Winter time rolls around. And with it comes […]

Blackburn Airstick Longnek Evo, Dispelling the Myth.

Quiet your mind and imagine a land before time… Envision a herd of longnecks gracefully roaming an adolescent planet Earth, without fear they graze, sing songs, and raise their young uninterrupted for millenia. Legend has it that on one fate filled day the very threads of this peaceful existence were torn asunder. The great skies […]

To Embro, Or Not To Embro? That Is The Question.

Being I ride in the cold weather and race some of that cyclocross stuff I have been thinking about busting out some fine embrocations. So, being it was cold, and I was going for a ride, I decided to try out some for the first time. It was a brisk 26 degrees when we started […]

First Snow Under My Wheels

Today was the first snow in Chicago that actually stuck. And I forgot how much I love it. I look forward to riding my bike through fresh snow and laying the first tracks down my alley in the mornings. Up until 3 years ago, I did not have such enthusiasm for the cold day rides. […]

Cyclelogical Urban Gaiter – Keeping My Pant Legs Clean

I ride everyday. In all types of weather. Hot, cold, rainy, snowy, blustery (I love that term), windy, however the days comes. One of my favorite little pieces of gear is the Cyclelogical Urban Gaiter. It has a Velcro wrap closure, reflective sides, built in pocket, and is built tough. I dig this little feller, […]

Trek Fisher X-Cal 29er

I decided to move from my tried and true 26 mtn bike to a 29er. I had heard great things, did my research, and decided that Trek Fisher was the way to go on a 29er. He pioneered them and has worked every year since to perfect them. I wanted to get the Superfly carbon […]

Whose Nutz? DZ Nutz! Pro Chamois Cream

For years I was one of those late adopters. Last one to get a cell phone, last one to get clip-less pedals, etc. “I don’t need all your fancy expensive novelty gadgets to get the job done!” I would proclaim. I took pride in enduring – even thriving – in less than ideal conditions. I […]

Review by Coby H. from Yelp

– 11/29/11 – by Coby H. from Yelp Very accommodating staff. Took the time to answer my questions and explain the differences between the various products I was interested in. I left feeling like I got a fair deal and that I was important to them as a customer. Can’t ask for much more than […]
