Technolust: Montague Paratrooper Mountain Bike

I’ve never been much of a fan of folding bikes. (Disclaimer: I say this having never ridden one.) I think they look goofy and I always doubt their ability to A) handle the abuse my 200 pound body puts a bike through and B) provide a stable & comfortable ride with 12″ wheels.
And then I […]

Mountain Biker Jumps The Tour de France!

Picture © Scott Markewitz
Mountain Biking U.K. published a jaw-dropper today about Dave Watson jumping The Tour De France . Now, I watched a bit of Tour coverage last year, but I didn’t see anything about this. And I think it’s really a shame that I didn’t, considering it’s a lot more exciting than a bunch […]

Why You Should Ignore the Digital Readout on The Local Treadmill

Moe writes:
I’ve been going to the gym for quite sometime now. In my workout session, I like to include 30 minutes of cardio, 15 minutes running on mid to high intensity on the treadmill and another 15 minutes on mid to high intensity biking (machine). However, I’ve just recently cut out the biking and do […]

Ultimate Cyclist Decor

I’ve never been one to seriously lust after furniture, but that all changes today. Feast your eyes on the vector Lounge Chair. I can see myself now, sitting on my porch, drinking a beer after a long ride.
I’ve e-mailed the company about pricing, but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t afford it. Custom stuff like this […]

Chemotherapy On Thursday, Triathlete On Saturday

I had the privilege of racing on the Columbia Multisport Club’s Team (we won) last year at the National Triathlon Team Championship in Las Vegas. One of the racers on our team who was way ahead of me was Amy Livesay. 10 years ago, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease. She’s been destroying the competition […]

The Army Goes Online

The Salvation Army is running a great online kettle program, one that doesn’t include any shrill bells! Anyone can sponsor a kettle. (Healthbolt’s is right here.) This money goes to buy food and toys for families that may not be able to afford them otherwise. Another great thing about this program is that any kid […]

Video: Crazy Bike Trials Skills

I have a good friend who almost falls off her bike if she tries to grab for her water bottle. This is nothing like that.
Bike Trials From Wikipedia:
Bike trials is a form of off-road cycling derived from motorcycle trials where one slowly negotiates man-made and natural obstacles. It originated in Spain and is said to […]

Wooden Bicycle

I love biking. I think they’re fabulous machines. I prefer riding a street bike fast as opposed to mountain biking, but I’ve never ridden a recumbent so I can’t say much about how they handle. However, I can say that this bike is pretty cool. First of all, it’s a recumbent, which is kind of […]
