Are you wondering if they are road bikes?

I think I had mentioned we went the powertap hub PM. I can see when riding alone on unknown routes it is useful to not dog it. However a good group ride usually wins for the motivational and social...

If the goal is to go faster, I think the clock is very useful. Fortunately there is data on Strava to verify that two riders of similar weights and power go at different speeds. That can be from...

It is fun. Some of that stuff is so well made and so shockingly light I don't want to put it on the bike. The GELU seat < 50g sat on my desk for a month. The mailman got to hold it as well as...
