It doesn’t feel like it yet, but summer is coming, and with that comes fun in the water. After losing my phone in an infinity pool last year, a waterproof carry like the Bote Hitchhiker sling bag seems like a great option for keeping keys and phone secure while tubing, paddling, or swimming at the […]
Review: Abus Bordo 6000k folding lock
Abus offers a full range of mobile security u-locks, chain locks and folding locks. After spending time with the Bordo 6000k folding lock, I’ve have been impressed with its ease of use and portability. The Bordo line of folding locks is quite extensive, (admittedly the selection on their site is a bit overwhelming/confusing at first […]
Review: Elite Fly MTB waterbottle & Elite Custom RacePlus Bottle Cage
While we have shelves full of water bottles, I haven’t put a lot of thought into fluid flow. After spending time with the Elite Fly MTB sport bottle, I’ve gained an updated perspective on these portable water containers, as the fluid flow on the Elite bottles is hard to beat. They’re also quite light, and […]
Ground Keeper Frame Protection
Adding an adhesive-backed wrap to carbon bike frames has become a standard upgrade for most mountain bikers in order to protect our investments. Our basic go-to solution has been a clear 3m polyurethane, but if you’re ready to spice up your ride, a Bellingham-based company called Ground Keeper is offering some great-looking new options for […]
Hiplok D-1000: setting a new bar for bicycle security?
Hiplok was founded with the purpose of designing and building quality security products for cyclists. A u-lock has traditionally been the go-to method of securing a bike in urban settings; they’re small, easy to carry, and relatively light, especially when compared to a heavy-duty chain. The downside is that they are vulnerable to high-powered angle […]
Avoid Scratching Your Vehicle: Magnetic SunStrip
I have a rule where bikes aren’t allowed to be leaned against my vehicles, as they’re almost always poorly placed, resulting in scratches when the bikes inevitably tip and slide to the ground. For those that just have to lean gear against the rig, there is now a product designed to protect your car (and […]
Review: Lizard Skins Carbon Leather Frame Protector
Most carbon fiber bikes include some sort of frame protection from the factory these days. While some of the stock frame guards are good, most don’t provide anywhere near the coverage needed to protect your carbon frame investment. Quite a few aftermarket options have sprung up to fill this niche with a lot of available […]
Review: Hiplok Z LOK – Lightweight, Just in Case Security
You’ll never confuse the Hiplok Zlok security tie with a classic u-lock. In terms of bike and gear security, they’re about as different as apples and oranges. Classified as a “security tie”, the Z LOK and Z LOK Combo are essentially overbuilt, secured, and reusable zip ties. Designed for convenient protection against opportunity thefts, they […]
Review: Igloo IMX 24 Qt Cooler
Igloo joins the high-performance cooler category with their take on the Rotomold ice chest, the IMX series. Needing a smaller volume option for day trips, we recently acquired the IMX 24Qt cooler to see how the offering from the mainstream brand performs in comparison to the high-end models. With a retail price of $100, the […]
Review: Orange Mud Transition Wrap 2.0
A microfiber towel with bonus features, the Orange Mud Transition 2.0 Wrap is a surprisingly valued addition to our post-ride quick change rituals.
Getting naked in public gets upgraded; I’m referring of course, to the ritual of changing out of our riding gear post-ride.
Mash Graphic Top Caps
My favorite accessories on my bikes are top caps. I’ve acquired some of my favorites as swag at events, but after seeing some of the cool options the team at Mash offer, I feel like my top cap game could use some work. Mash offers a cool range of pieces including patches, pins, jerseys, […]
Hiplok ANKR Bike Storage Security Solution
Bikes are expensive and represent massive investments for us as riders, so keeping them secure should be a priority too right? We keep all our bikes indoors, but garages are often a target for thieves. Hiplok recognized a need for providing additional security for riders and developed a solution for raising that level with […]
