Bike Limo
I purchased a Co-pilot trailer so I can ride with both of my girls and my wife. I attached it to the Xtracycle that is installed on my Kona Smoke. I took a couple of test rides around the block to familiarize myself with the new extra-long bike. My family and I will be commuting…
Early Morning Ride II
It was poker night for the guys last night and everyone had their fair share of drinks. We talked about going out for a ride but I wasn’t sure if anyone would make it. But Eri, Jamie, and I met at 0600 as planned. We loaded up our bikes on the Allen Bike Rack 550RR…
Allen Bike Rack 550RR First Impressions
Early this morning a couple of friends and I loaded our bikes on the Allen Bike Rack 550RR to hit the trails. With its long carry arm, the 550RR is designed to carry 5 bikes which easily held our three bikes. I was really impressed about the individual tie downs that it came with. I’ve…

Negotiating the price of a bike.
So you’ve decided to purchase a new shiny bike from your LBS, first thing you do is check out the price tag. Question is, is it alright to negotiate (also known as haggling) the price of the bike? Before I answer the question, I regard buying a bike more like ‘investing’ on a bike. So…
Skid Competition
Dude, these Fixed Gear Riders are having some fun skidding around. Man I don’t know how they do it cuz’ I’m still trying to figure out how to stop without having to use my brakes on the RedLine 925.
Bike Town Winner-Priscilla!
Guess what! Priscilla won the Bike Town contest that Bicycling Magazine was hosting. So this morning Priscilla and I drove to Downtown LA with all 3 kids in tow to pick up her bike. But the cool thing was since a guy declined his free bike, Bike Town made arrangements to get me hooked up…

I need your opinion
For quite a while I’ve been playing around with the idea of selling commuter clothing on CBB. The clothing line would have some basic moisture wicking shirts,beanies, skull caps, knickers, logo T-shirts and what ever else a commuter may want or need for bike riding. So with that in mind, would bicycle commuters like you…

But seriously, take advantage of this offer cuz personally I think the Sure2Endure works…
Light To Light
So there I was the other day riding in to work. As I pull up to a light I begin hearing loud 80’s music blaring from a car near by. As I get closer to the cross walk lines and the music gets louder and louder. I finally get to the car that is playing…
Fezzari Abajo Peak Pro
For the past couple of months I’ve had the privilege of riding the Fezzari Abajo Peak Pro. I must tell you, this is a sweet ride! It looks great, has a very comfortable to ride, and could easily handle your everyday mountain biking needs! The next time you’re in Costco check the Fezzari bikes out.
Truing A Wheel
Truing a wobbly wheel isn’t as difficult as it may seem. I do not recommend trying this at home. Maybe with someone else’s bike” 😉
Helmet Testing
I convinced 5 of my co-workers to join me on a 30 mile river ride on Sunday. 2 of my co-workers are runners, but they have never ridden a bike for that long of a distance. They also never ridden road bikes. I loaned my Giant TCR and my wife’s OCR3 for two of my…

Wal-Mart Time Trial Machine Update
A little while ago I wrote a post about a couple of guys converting a Wal-Mart Roadmaster into a Time Trial Bicycle. (Click Here for the previous post). Well, the results are in! The Wally World Bike and its pilot placed 40th out of 50. What does this prove? That cheap parts work good enough…
Test B Failed For Floyd Landis
Well, Mr. Landis failed his B test. What a bummer…I was really hoping that he was innocent but the testing they did was supposed to be fool proof. With that said, there’s not much the dude can do now… Both of Landis’ “A” and “B” samples turned up a testosterone/epitestosterone ratio of 11:1 — far…
