Armstrong and Lemond have words with each other at Interbike
Lance Armstrong and Greg Lemond are apparently still not the best of buds. At the Las Vegas Interbike expo yesterday during Lance’s press conference Greg LeMond decided to get a little jerky difficult with his questioning. Armstrong announced that he will be working closely with Don Catlin, who formerly ran UCLA’s World Anti-Doping Agency accredited [...]

Garmin releases Edge 705 Team Edition
Try to channel the Garmin commercial so this might actually seem somewhat interesting.. Ready… Go. Garmin will be realeasing a “Team Edition” of its Edge 705 GPS cycling computer to celebrate its exemplory performance in the 2008 Tour De France. IMO it doesn’t seem to be anything above and beyond the normal 705 other than the [...]

Would you get custom cycling shoes?
If you’ve been reading this blog since it’s inception(not very long ago admittedly), you’ll know that I’m also a speedskater. With that being said I have an interesting view of both sports and how they can complement and where they are opposites. One such place where the 2 sports seem to complement each other are [...]
Best thing since the invention of the Powerbar
One thing that the majority of protein/power/everything but the kitchen sink bars have in common is that they tend to taste pretty terrible. Almost everyone can agree that the bars they like; nobody else likes. Well, an Illinois start up called Element Bars is trying to change that stereotype. The premise of the company is [...]
The next Generation Frame Material: Quantech?
I found this on my usual Automotive RSS ramblings and thought it would have applications in frame manufacuring: GM has found a new materials technology in its search for increasing fuel efficiency in its(too large) fleet of vehicles called Quantech. The material was developed by a Wilmington, Massachusetts company: Quantum Leap Packaging. The material is a liquid crystal [...]
Now you can get work done on your ride to work
The fit-PC Slim has been labeled the “smallest, most energy efficient PC available.” Weighing in at just 13 oz might make that a true statement. The unit is housed in a 330cc enclosure (4.3 x 3.9 x 1.2 inches); which you could probably cram in a jersey pocket. It draws a paltry 6 watts of [...]
