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

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

Winter riding doesn’t have to be miserable. With the right gear and clothing you can escape the trainer and enjoy a ride outdoors without sacrificing comfort. I’ve been riding in Colorado for many years, here temperature extremes can range from 100-degrees plus in the summer to well below

Motor doping is back in the news and all over the cycling boards this week thanks to an accusation Phil Gaimon makes in his 3rd book. Draft Animals: Living the Pro Cycling Dream (Once in a While) has been out since October but it seems the juiciest tid-bit in there

The world of power measurement has exploded in recent years. There are more ways to measure power than ever (cranks, pedals, bottom brackets, hubs and more) and prices have been steadily decreasing. That’s all great for a cycling enthusiast, $500 for a Stage power meter actually sounds cheap to

Zwift, the online game that makes indoor cycling bearable, just rolled out an expansion to one of its courses on Thursday. Just in time for the threat of snow and cool weather to move my training inside. The new course area, dubbed “Mayan Expansion,” is an add-on to the popular

I love cycling, but I don’t love the pseudoscience, bull-crap gear culture that comes with it. There are so many products that pop up promising to solve some problem inherit to your inability to ride fast that it can make your head spin. Not to mention they tend to

This tool has been with me through several thousand miles of rides and has helped me make many successful repairs including a broken chain, a wheel out of true, wandering cleats and several instances of bolts loosening up on the road. If you don’t have a cycling tool kit

One of my favorite things about cycling and watching pro races are the amazing landscapes and places a bike can take you through. The Tour de France, for example, is as much a bike race as it is a tour of hundreds if not thousands of years of history, culture
