Sometimes, the solution is more complex than the problem. While having a bike pump inside your seatpost is an interesting option if your main intention is riding around and pumping up other people flats, we’re wondering if the engineer behind Airsupply by remobic has ever seen how compact, affordable, and efficient a CO2 cartridge is?
He knows Michael Lang, the founder of the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, so he’s got that going for him. If you’d like to help, please click the link.
It looks so clean, smooth, and powerful. It’s like a Ferrari for your seat-tube. But what in heaven’s name is it doing on a 3x. With a motor like that we’d just ride a 55×11 and call it a day.
Just when you thought the suffering might ebb, the minds behind The Sufferfest training videos have added two more edits their collection of over 20 different flavors of pain. The new videos are Power Station and The Way Out.
The Sufferfest’s newest workouts feature officially licensed footage from the Milan-San Remo, Tirenno-Adriatico, on-bike camera footage from the Giro d’Italia, and scenic routes from The Col Collective across the French and Italian Alps. . . .The workouts were designed by elite Coach Neal Henderson of Apex Coaching and BMC racing, and are available via download from TheSufferfest.com or streaming app. Both videos are currently showing at more than 90 officially licensed Sufferlandrian Embassies around the world. The 50-minute Power Station video is focused on developing muscular endurance through a series of low-cadence, high-intensity intervals, and is also included in this year’s Tour of Sufferlandria.

So go ahead, BTFU, and take on the 144 miles, 11,000 feet of climbing, and 40 miles of pave like surfaces with the click of a button. If those stats make you shiver in your syrup, you can always choose the shorter yet equally difficult version instead, the Belgian Wafer Ride.
The Patagonia retail store in Cardiff, California it hooking people up on a Sunday morning group ride called the Sea Ramble Rides.
Join us for weekly Sea Rambler bike rides—casual 10-mile group rides through Cardiff and Encinitas that consist of paved roads and a few dirt trails. All levels of riders are welcome. No one gets left behind! Helmets are required and those under 18 years of age will need a guardian’s signature on the bike waiver. This event is free.
Garmin’s just announced Varia Vision takes all their cycling metrics and puts them right in your face on a heads up display.
We have a vision for a safer riding environment for every cyclist. A world where cyclists can keep their focus up while staying aware of their stats and surroundings. It’s one more way we’re helping you be better than you were the day before.
Still not sure we like having anything that distracting right in front of our eyes and blocking a third of one eye’s vision, but we’ve not ridden with it.
People for Bikes has a new list of the 10 Best New Bike Lanes and one of them is even in California, two are west of the Rockies, and the rest are somewhere out East. For all the details, follow the jump.
As if you needed another reason to visit North County San Diego in December, how about joining the crew at Campagnolo for their annual Holiday Toy Ride.
Just bring a new, unwrapped toy and you’re in. The toys will go to kids who are currently in the Rady Childrens Hospital in San Diego. Show up at 8 AM for pre-ride fun and eats.
Few cyclists this side of the pro peloton can simply show up and power out 140 miles of brutality without at least a little training. In light of this the organizers of the world famous Belgian Waffle Ride have teamed up with Source Endurance for an official BWR Survival Camp in sunny San Diego the weekend of January 15-18, 2016.
This camp will give brave souls (and those looking to take their bikes out of the basement) an exclusive, guided, sneak preview of the 2016 BWR Course. All BWR Survival Campers will be treated as the professionals they are, with follow cars, soigneurs, domestiques, and lead out men. The time off and on the bike will be amazing! Friday will begin with some leg openers so those who arrive early can get themselves loosened up. Then we’ll have an official 2016 BWR Route unveiling for camp attendees. On Saturday we’ll preview 60% of the 2016 BWR course and Sunday we’ll ride the other 40%. Monday will be an optional ride for any campers that still have legs. We’ll head out along the coast, turning inland gravel and grit before returning home.
Honestly, the camp sounds like a lot more fun than riding the BWR itself. Something to think about. For more info, please follow the jump or click here for all the details.
