Now imagine you are a big time player in the cycling equipment industry, and you dominate the market but your sales are plummeting. What are you gonna do? Well, you either cry yourself to sleep after selling off your assets, or you transfer your expertise to some more

We took the Dahon Biologic iPhone mount with us to the Bahamas and who better to test it on a Dahon than a teenager who wants to listen to her tunes on an Island ride? Initial results were disappointing because she used her iPod Touch, which is much thinner than an iPhone. The welded touch-sensitive membrane wasn’t close enough to the front of the Touch to allow her finger to swipe or touch the interface. Every bump she hit in the road triggered the Touch’s shake-to-shuffle feature and her iPod was frustratingly shuffling the whole ride. If she were to

When David Schloss joined us he brought with him his product editor background and moreover Pro photographer skills. The dude has the biggest camera at the events we attend, and some of the best bike photos I’ve seen. Right up there with Liz, Matt McGaughey, and Ken Conley. David’s skills trickled down to the rest of us and you may have noticed I started shooting with a Canon 50D. The camera is Canon’s first in-house, mid-range DLSR and intended for Prosumers. It retails for $1,000.00 for the body only.

Noticed Cycle Mode Tokyo in @gary_fisher’s Twitter stream and much vélocouture was in the booths. Puffy coat style, uploaded by mumblion We’ve been posting and predicting that fashion would follow cyclists into the mainstream. As more of us ride urban, we need clothes and gear that work better on and off the bike. What you ride in should work at the office, home, and elsewhere.

Found this brochure during a recent move — still had it in a box of things to remember. It was my first race bike and I rode it all over. The Fisher Paragon: A direct descendant of the original Fisher Paragon with the benefit of 17 years of refinement. Solid, sure-footed and built for the long haul. I didn’t know at the time it was named after Lars Zebroski as @gary_fisher tweeted this morning. It reminded me of Dungeon and Dragons.
