I got a Cleverhood after years and years of wearing out a Carradice (the fluorescent pro-route). I held off for a long time because the Cleverhood is not cheap, but it's just so well made and they look really good. The reflective thread they weave in gives off a huge glow under headlights but i

I picked up a Vaude Valdipino for about $40 shipped from western Europe (France, I believe). So far, so good. It does flap something awful above ~15mph, but it has me completely sold on the poncho concept. The hood works nicely, too. RBW has a large Grundens poncho on sale for $80 now, too. Hav

The all-weather Cambium will last forever. It's basically a plastic saddle. You can wipe off water with your hand and keep your bum dry. It's wonderful. You'll never have to replace it. On Sun, Jun 23, 2019 at 9:27 PM Drw wrote: > I want to start riding my bike to the beach, swim, ride home. It’

I want to start riding my bike to the beach, swim, ride home. It’s like a 10 mile round trip. I don’t want to bring/change clothes. My guess is the all weather cambium would fit the bill, but would I be better off with a cheapo throwaway that I can replace after the warm season? I guess I’m as

I'm not really interested in spending $1650 for a complete because I have a bunch of parts so would prefer not to spend that much for stuff I don't need. The preorder for frames at Riv is sold out. There is only completes available AND its only in blue. Chris offered one AND I contacted him.

I am in the market for a rain cape for commuting. I'd like to keep it well under $100 if possible, and I'm in the Midwest so you never really know what will be thrown at you. Any recs are welcome. I've been eyeing a Cleverhood that I like a lot. I thought Campmor made an inexpensive one but

If you don't find one used, consider Hilltrek in Scotland. Their double ventile or cotton analogy are both excellent and waterproof. I can't remember if Riv's offering was double, single, or a blend (double shoulder and arm?). Whatever it was, Hilltrek has a parallel. I love their cotton analogy

Thanks, Andrew! I love that you use past tense with the recovery. Grin. These beasties are three to ten days. Over the years, one of the mini-miracle healings has been increased capacity to ride during that. Until this summer I just did day rides then, but have been testing the waters to see how
