These Col Collective videos just keep getting better and better. The incredible visuals are great inspiration to get out and ride. When the summer season lasts only three months (if you’re lucky) then you know you’re in an extreme place. Shrouded in mist and snow drifts for much

I stumbled upon this insane build from Caletti Cycles over the weekend and knew I had to share it. This bicycle is a thing of beauty and the story behind the build is pretty cool too: Thanks for the best bike ever and the memories of my grandma! In 1985

I just spent an hour and a half grinding out some miles on Zwift and I had a thought. If I swapped my trainer for a generator, how long would I have to ride to provide the electricity needed to mine a single Bitcoin? I guess it’s time to

Another great argument for opt-in as opposed to opt-out data sharing on social networks. This past weekend, [Nathan Ruser] announced on Twitter that Strava’s heatmap also managed to highlight exercise activity by military/intelligence personnel around the world, including some unannounced facilities. More worryingly, some of the mapped paths

Race shoes cost several hundred dollars, the last thing I want to do is wear them out grinding through miles in my basement dungeon. They’re also made for riding outdoors, without air flowing over them at 20mph they just are not breathable enough for a good indoor sweat session.

Wolf Tooth’s Pack Pliers won’t take the place of an all inclusive multi-tool, but they will complement one quite nicely. The lightweight, pack-able, anodized aluminum tool functions as a tire lever, valve core remover, valve stem lock nut wrench, and most importantly as a pair of master link

Hike a 3,000-mile trail in only four minutes from the comfort of your office chair. The Continental Divide trail covers 3,100 miles stretching from the Canadian border to Mexico. Along the way, the trail passes through Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. The highest point on the

Stage 11 of the 2018 Tour de France is a short day at only 108 KM but as riders travel from Albertville to La Rosière they will be doing a lot of climbing. The second to last climb for the day will be the Cormet de Roselend, a spectacular

Two cars are cruising down the road. One car is going 70mph and the other is going 100mph. Suddenly a tree falls across the road and both drivers start braking at the same time. If the car that had been going 70mph stops just before hitting the tree, how fast

Zwift is a godsend, combined with a smart-trainer it turned one of the worst things in the world — indoor cycling — into something I truly enjoy. Mindlessly spinning circles in front of the TV has become an engaging and much more effective form of training. Gamification works, my late-winter FTP is

In this very interesting episode, Life Noggin addresses some of the behaviors, issues and conditions that can impede a person’s ability to fall asleep. Some of the highlights; consume caffeine before bed, eating protein too late in the day, the temperature of the room, the environment being to loud

When the Scosche Rhythm+ hit the market it not only provided me with accurate heart rate readings — something chest straps could never do — it did it without the need for a bulky, restrictive band around my lungs. Now Scosche is back at CES 2018 with an update, the Rhythm24, a
