GO means GO!

I can appreciate a clean, full zippered, race-cut jersey. This one is made in the USA, and comes in any color you want, as long as it’s black.  Who needs any color besides black anyhow?  I’m hoping to see more from  Search and State  in the future.  Bibs perhaps? Retailing for $125, the S1-A Riding Jersey  is just that. Also available is [...]

For the Seattle ladies- the Sugar Showdown takes place July 7th and 8th at Duthie Hill

Mark Brent will be filming at the event who you may remember from Awesomeland: Women of Dirt

Mission Workshop is changing the bag game (once again.) These look awesome.

They are currently taking pre-orders, with the first orders being shipped June 15.  Grab one HERE

When I write a review I make sure to check myself.  It’s important that my feelings on the product are honest and up front.  Sometimes I get things sent my way to review.  It’s one of the perks of having a bike blog.  When writing reviews on products that I pay less than retail on- it’s [...]

Sarah shared this video from MOHAI on our Facebook page yesterday (you have liked the new page , right?): Maybe it’s waking up to public television for years in my childhood, but something feels right about watching this first thing in the morning, with its enthusiastic and a bit unpolished dialog that can only mean you’re learning something. Not only does [...]

Seattle will be host to the Ride of Silence on Wednesday, May 16th .  Riders will meet at Gasworks Park at 6:30pm and return by 8:30pm.  It will be a rain or shine ride, honoring fallen riders. The Ride of Silence is just that- it’s not Critical Mass or a chatty group ride.  Please be respectful of the organizers, [...]

This Saturday you should plan on being at Hales Ales in the evening for the Marymoor Velodrome Association benefit.  There will be roller racing (it’s been over a year since we last made it happen in Seattle- get with it!)  Also check out the track bike parts swap.  Sorry- no bmx cranks or 26″ wheels… There are [...]

Traveling from Seattle to Portland and wanting to do it on the cheap?   BoltBus looks like the hot ticket. I’m not really sure how it works, but the fare fluctuates.  You can travel between the two cities for $1-15 each way though and that’s pretty sweet.  You can even bring a bike as baggage (if room allows [...]

Hitting stores today- Chrome is releasing four new shoes.
Kursk Natural and Kursk Pro Natural (the pro is SPD compatible)

Lower Southside

And the addition of Chrome’s first-ever women’s model, the Dolores.

Pick some up at your LBS or online HERE

This is coming out Fall 2012 from Xtracycle and I gotta say it looks intriguing.  With a capacity of 200lbs- it also folds up and out of the way (to get into doorways and the like.) It will retail for $149- though if you want a platform for it- that’ll cost you extra. If you are carrying something like [...]

I’m hoping for the best for Graeme Obree as he goes for the world speed record in September.  And I really hope that it happens at the same time as Interbike- because then I could do both!

There has been more than one time that I wish I had something a little more intimidating than a bell while riding around Greenlake.  This might do the trick.

Also love the chain guard that reads “Me so horny”

Fill out the Bicycle Master Plan survey! It’s easy- and will help build the upcoming Bicycle Master Plan.  Click HERE to fill out the short survey. Seattle has also gotten all sophisticated and has an interactive map if you want to take your suggestions to the next level.  It’s pretty neat (though it takes a bit more thought than [...]

In case you were wondering- this is from 1945. Nottingham, England. Raleigh Bicycles.  I love the heron chainring.

And now Raleigh USA is doing things like this- which is next on my list of bicycles.  Mmmmm.  Still sexy after all of these years…

Lunch time bicycle stories! Turns out that even 100+ years ago awesome female riders were getting unwanted attention from creepy dudes with ironic facial hair . And yeah, that’s probably a freewheel up there, but being that our man appears to be taking it for a walk (have you ever tried to ride a bike carrying your sweet [...]

Bike Works ‘ 16th Annual Kids Bike Swap will be held on Saturday, May 12th, 2012, from 10 am – 4 pm at the Rainier Community Center (4600 38th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118). This event is an opportunity for families to trade in a bike their child has outgrown for a larger bike – just in time [...]

Another Kickstarter project- along the same lines of the Lazer Urbanize.
I like the idea of having integrated lights for safety- though for real illumination of the road ahead- a more powerful bar or helmet mount would likely be necessary.

Thanks Mike D!

Today in Seattle: Cyclists of Seattle Rise Up! This May Day join the global general strike on wheels. Help shut the down the city to fight for a life worth living. If you want to ride this May Day, here’s a proposed schedule: All Day | Swarm – grab some friends and take to the streets. 11:15am | Bike Bloc convergence [...]

It’s been awhile since we’ve had any major design changes around here, and – with things about to get really busy with the Nine to Five and Tour de Watertower on the horizon – I figured if I didn’t do it now it would probably wait until Fall. We’re still working out the kinks so be sure to [...]
