This past holiday season my wife got me a pair of winter cycling boots for Festivus: While it's not been much of a winter in New York, we have had our share of cold days, and the boots have been fantastic. In fact they've proven to be one of the most useful cycling accessories I've... Continue Reading →

Hey, look at that, it's a new Outside column! This one's about how I helped out for like five minutes and can't shut up about it: The only thing I have a harder time getting over than technical trail obstacles is myself. In other news, this video has been getting some local attention: https://twitter.com/colinridesabike/status/1232516410099798019 Basically,... Continue Reading →

Early yesterday morning, the cold feeling like an insult to bones still warm with the heat they absorbed during vacation, I pointed my bike in a downtown direction and set out for my radio show.

Secondly, further to yesterday's post, I have gleaned the following from the comment... Continue Reading →

I don't know how to feel about the fact that the comment section of yesterday's post degenerated into a tiny whirlpool of terminal foot Fred-dom: Good lord, all I said was it rained and my foot got wet! Don't take this personally or anything, and I love each and every one of you, but holy... Continue Reading →

However, in keeping with the whole "classic" theme, they will be offering an analog discount code this month. Here's how it works: Go to Classic Cycles (the actual shop, which exists in three dimensions on... Continue Reading →
