We also chatted with the guys from Xtracycle, turns out, Kipchoge and his band will go on a 5,000 mile bike tour!

Spot Brand Belt Drive Fixed Gear

October 3rd, 2007 · 6 Comments

Here’s another bike that caught my attention:

Back from Interbike

October 1st, 2007 · 3 Comments

We are back from Interbike and we finally have most of the sites up. We learned a few things about both events — never trust your host provider and beer flows after 4:00pm at Interbike.
