While perhaps not ranking among Early Adopters—I think Peak Bicycle was reached about 2005 and I loathe cellphones—I have nonetheless embraced indoor cycling training with considerable enthusiasm.

Castelli’s new PREMIO BLACK bibshorts arrived in a slick black box, and with a written promise to be the most comfortable bibshorts for my longest rides. I matched ’em with the Classifica jersey and hit the road. Here’s my review. Ok – the official press kit actually says the Castelli Premio Black bibshort: WAS CREATED
Remember those insane 99g Specialized EXOS 99 road shoes? They were joined by a more ‘reasonable’ 150g standard EXOS version, but both models relied on a custom made Dyneema upper which provided the necessary support without any stretch. It also allowed the shoes to be constructed to reach their outrageous weights (among other clever weight

Rider Interview: Not too much was expected from the EOLO-Kometa team in the Giro d’Italia, but they had better results than many of the ProTour and WorldTour teams.

We’ve loved the Jaybird Vista earbuds since they launched a few years ago, taking them on plane rides, car rides, and bike rides. They’re comfortable, ultralight, and with the included charging case, we could basically get a full day of use from them. For cycling, they work independently, letting us run just one ear to
The latest generation of Niner’s JET 9 RDO firmly cements its place among the best short travel trail bikes out there. It was evident from my first ride that they’d worked their magic again, and reinforced every ride thereafter. It’s more capable. It’s stiffer. And it feels more at home in its skin as a
Giro’s shoe range runs from about $100 up to $400, so the Regime’s $225 MSRP puts them squarely in the middle of the price spectrum. Fortunately, they perform like a high-end road shoe to justify the price. The carbon-injected composite sole isn’t their stiffest, but it’s solid, and the dual BOA L6 dial closures keep
Race Breakdown: The Critérium du Dauphiné has always been considered the Tour de France warm-up race, this year seemed to be the Ineos-Grenadiers warm-up race.

Richie Porte won the Criterium du Dauphine with Ineos Grenadiers team-mate Geraint Thomas third after a dramatic final day in the mountains. Thomas fell on the final descent 7.7km from home, sliding out on a bend, although he was able to remount. But the Welshman dug deep to catch the leading pack for the final
Officina Battaglin’s top-tier fully custom, Italian-crafted road bike is back and better than ever in this 40th anniversary limited edition Power+ EVO. As shiny as you could imagine in its unique cromovelato paint job, Battaglin has given the Power+ EVO an even sleeker integrated front end overhaul, thanks to a new lighter Italian-made fork and
