I've been hit twice by cars in the last 10 years. After the second one put me in the hospital I started riding with Carhartt Force Class 3 Hi-vis shirts. I have both long and short sleeve versions. Not very stylish, but I haven't had a close call since using them. I realize that could be more luck

Exactly why I needed to ask the question. I wasn't planning on swapping the cranks out for a 94/58mm BCD (I didn't know that a 22T chainring did not come on a 74mm BCD). As I thought about making this change over the last few months, whenever I saw something interesting I made a note. Somewhere

After 8 years of commuting on the W&OD, the last 4 daily, I finally invested in studded tires this year. While it is true that the number of days when studded tires are absolutely necessary is limited, those days tend to come in blocks of 3-4 days or a week at a time. It doesn't take much to feel

I've had my Atlantis about 10 months and love it. I ride it nearly every day, usually on my 30 mile round-trip commute to and from work. When I first rode the bike, the low stop setting on the front derailleur was not set correctly. It took throwing the chain off onto the chain stay with minor j
