I discovered Shredly earlier this year (click here for my previous post) and am continuously impressed by how comfortable, durable and flattering these shorts are. (It’s true, you don’t have to look like a tomboy, or worse, a small guy when riding your bike!) In a market that doesn’t appear to listen to women, Shredly has […]
Style Check: Shredly MTB Kit
It’s hard finding trail riding gear that flatters the female form, and I’m always on the lookout for new brands that “get it.” Over the Christmas holiday, Jason and I met up with Sue and Bill from Ashland Mountain Adventures for a fun weekend of riding in San Luis Obispo.

Put some steez in that whip
“There ain’t nothing better than the feeling you get, while throwing the bike sideways and throwing a twisted whip.” That quote is just one snippet from the lyrics in the following video. Is it a bit silly? Maybe, but totally spot on. And now I want to get my dirt jump bike out and hit […]
Greg Minnaar rules on a CX bike too
I just came across this edit of Greg Minnaar getting some time in on his cyclecross set up, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cross bike ridden on a trail with that much style — ever. Minnaar is obviously one of the top riders in the world, but I happen to also know […]
