First Impressions: Zoic

May 1st, 2008 · 9 Comments

It sure is nice to see more and more companies catering to the commuter women. Some time back Zoic sent me a little ensemble from their Streetside collection to test out on the roads. I had to wait for it to warm up a bit around here, but sunny days are back and so are [...]

Guest Article: Keen Commuter Sandal by Alan Barnard

Shivers long underwear: First Impression

February 20th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Shivers sent us a pair of their blue long underwear to try out. I was expecting a pair of ugly wool leggings, but not so. These things feel more like women’s nylons. They’re obviously designed to be more technical than your everyday long underwear.

Russ has at least one…and probably more, since he’s the one who turned us onto them in the first place!

Gear Review: Swobo Gloves….best gloves ever?

January 31st, 2008 · 12 Comments

Walz Caps

Me wearing the Racing Stripe hat.

Jeff wearing the Unique Cap
The good people from Walz Caps sent us a few samples for us to wear. Although the caps are not really my ’style’, I dig them because I can wear them comfortably under my helmet and they alleviate the dreaded helmet hair.

First Impression: Sette Elite Carbon Road Shoe

January 2nd, 2008 · 6 Comments

I must have been a good boy this year because, after breaking a strap off of my cycling shoe, Santa Claus surprised me and brought a new pair of road shoes from Pricepoint.com: the Sette Elite Carbon shoe (MSRP: $210, PP.com: $89.98).
