Bicycling.com provides another good list of tips — this one centering around alleviating pain while on your bike. I'm proud to say, I've been pretty comfortable in the saddle in my years so far of road riding, save some hand numbness on occasion (partially because a shoulder surgery has set me up with a slightly shorter [...]
Ah, such a nice use of the old animated GIF for this demotivational poster. If you haven't before checked out the humorous image/text posts over at verydemotivational.com, I highly recommend checking out the site and/or subscribing to their [...]
Check out the 2010 James Dyson Award Competition US Winner — the Copenhagen Wheel, a wheel that turns a regular bike into a smart, electric hybrid. Like a hybrid automobile, it recaptures energy from braking. It also describes it as being controlled via a smart phone. I'd rather it integrated with my cyclocomputer. Regardless, really cool [...]
While I don't utilize it to its full potential, nor often enough, Google Voice is great. Now with it in Gmail, it becomes even more valuable in my book. I'm in Gmail a ton, so having the phone call option there is pretty handy. Below is a compilation of tips to take full advantage of this [...]
Something from Back to the Future II is finally going to come into reality. Sadly, it's not flying cars nor the hoverboard. Nike has a patent now for the BTTF featured power laces! The patent's included drawing looks a lot like the fictional 2015 Nike hightops. We'll see if the Nike patent actually ends up seeing [...]
Saw this the other day on Chapel Hill's cool like bike shop (and Tri-Cyclist sponsor). In the 70's and 80's, Detroit had a velodrome — an outdoor banked bicycle racing track, this one made of asphalt. The thing was abandoned in the late 80's, or early 90's. What a shame.
Hopefully, the mower gang can get it [...]
Finally, we get a glimpse of the oft rumored next generation DirecTiVo hardware. Sounds like it's been delayed.. yet again — this time probably into 2011. No surprises there, though not really sure how these evolutionary (versus revolutionary) boxes can be so difficult to design and manufacture.
Delayed DirecTV TiVo [...]
Garmin announced today its first GPS cyclocomputer to feature a touch screen, while taking some design cues from its little brother, the Edge 500.
While the color touch screen and its lower profile compared to all but the 500 looks cool, I'm more interested in hearing about its bugs (or hopefully lack of), its reliability and the [...]
With the free case program for the iPhone 4 taking weeks (or months depending on the case you select), there have to be other options, right? The local Apple Stores have nothing for the iPhone 4 in terms of cases. AT&T is not much better. Thankfull, there's the Internet. Gizmodo did a nice write up some [...]
I can attest to this one working. For the past four weeks, I've literally had nothing but water to drink, and an occasional few sips of Gatorade while in the saddle. Since starting drinking 98% nothing but water — not even diet sodas (miss you Coke Zero), I've lost 10 pounds in a gradual down slope [...]
