Well the cooler season is here in California, and depending on the time of day, the temperature in winter riding can be in the 30s to the mid 50s.
So I have my setup for fall weather, hot weather, and extreme cold weather… but 45-55 is a range I…

As you saw from the previous post – I broke my wrist back in December which resulted in having to get surgery. After months of recovery and the wrist feeling pretty good, I was ready to get back out there and start mountain biking again.

This stuff is incredibly potent, and I’m not anywhere near to exaggerating. I’ve taken energy/metabolism boosters before, and they’d give me that jittery feeling, but Craze doesn’t seem to have that side effect.
The instructions say to take it 6hrs before going to sleep. The first time I tried it…

Last year I bought a Schwinn Airdriver 1100 while shopping at Target. The packaging was slick, and it seemed to be a versatile pump. I now regret that decision. Because of my local bike shop (topic for another post), I have a presta valve on the front tire, and…
