There’s currently a chaotic feeling of uncertainty around the world and the global cycling scene. However, we all have to stay focused and to try to ride into a more positive future. I’m not advocating retail therapy as a solution. No, not at all. Rather, it’s simply time to accept that we need to pause and reflect on how we spend money on new bikes and new cycling products.
Now that we’ve got you sitting relatively comfortably on your new SQLab step saddle, we want to talk with you about those medical issues which some cyclists unfortunately have, and which can benefit from even more detailed technical thinking from those clever people at SQlab. Let’s look at bike saddles for back pain and prostate issues
Making sure that your bike saddle is comfortable and that it is the correct saddle for you, is more important than we usually give it credit for. It’s important to ask yourself the question: ‘am I sitting comfortably?’
Heading into the hills on road or trail, especially when riding alone, can bring a wealth of risks to the ride. We want to be adventurous, but we also need others to know that we’re okay – and more importantly, when we’re not okay. Time to take a look at Crash Sensors and location devices for cyclists
It’s hotting up outside and it’s definitely time to start looking at water bottles. Robert and Nadezhda take a look at the latest bottles from world leaders in hydration, Camelbak 🙂
In case you haven’t noticed it, women are built differently from men – it’s a fact. All too often, historically, brands have simply produced downsized products for women, and have failed either deliberately or otherwise, to recognise the physiological differences. Yes, the cycling world simply used a ‘Pink it & Shrink it’ mentally, failing to understand the specific needs of women as athletes.
We’ve been busy recently, testing the latest road cycling and gravel biking helmets from Italian brand, Rudy Project. Their Skudo cycling helmet sits neatly in the mid-range for price, performance and quality, making it a great choice for all riders.
Rudy Project have surpassed themselves with the latest ImpactX® 2 lens used in their Kelion road cycling sunglasses. Yes, I know, the lens is always an important element to road cycling sunglasses – that’s plainly obvious. Read on however, and find out why we really like these new high performance sunglasses from Italy
Rudy Project is renowned for producing great cycling safety products. They’ve been doing so for a long time, from their base in Italy, and are trusted across the global cycling community. Their latest Egos ‘road cycling helmet’ typifies their adherence to excellence, and has that unique Italian styling too.
Bike fitting looks at every aspect of how we are built, how we move, how we sit and and how comfortable we are when cycling. Bike fitting should be as normal for us as cyclists, as stopping to enjoy coffee and cake is. However, the new science of bike fitting is still developing, despite World Tour riders and teams using it for many years.
