    Rocker Madness: Hill Climbs

    Rocker Madness: Hill Climbs

    So, yesterday I questioned whether or not the Endurance Rockr was capable of increasing power on the bike. Today, with pretty good legs, I attempted to ride some of Zwift's mountains and hills. (I started the Three Sisters Route, but I got pulled off the bike after about an hour). I also happened to find myself running out of clean bibs, so I wore probably the worst one I own, some Chinese team kit knock off that I bought years ago. The results were interesting. The original
    Rocker Madness: Initial Ride Feedback

    Rocker Madness: Initial Ride Feedback

    Four rides in on the Endurance Rockr, and I can say that it has lots of promise. Last installment I shared several questions that folks have regarding the rocker craze. I will try to answer these today. Many are asking do they work and feel realistic, will they eliminate saddle soreness or numbness, do they increase or decrease power output, and do they help when standing up on the trainer? The Hammer has a very heavy flywheel, and balancing it out really means having it off
    Campus Cycling Collective Adds a New Riding Club for 2018

    Campus Cycling Collective Adds a New Riding Club for 2018

    The Campus Cycling Collective is an amazing bunch of ladies and gents who are obsessed with making Buffalo a better place to ride. They run the Campus Tuesday Night Rides, the Saturday Mountain Bike Rides, the Great Winter Get Out contest, the Sprague Brook race series, cyclocross practice, maintenance and skills clinics, womxn's specific events, and the list goes on. I've been a member for the last year as a coordinator, and I love being part of this group so dedicated to ma
    Rocker Plate Madness: Endurance Rockr

    Rocker Plate Madness: Endurance Rockr

    If you have been paying attention to the Zwift community, you know that rocker plates are the new craze. These platforms, very much like the Kurt Rock and Roll trainer, allow your trainer and bike to move side to side mimicking the natural movements of a bike on the road. The big questions some ask include: do they work and feel realistic, will they eliminate saddle soreness or numbness, do they increase or decrease power output, and do they help when standing up on the train
    Review: Crank Brothers Speedier Lever

    Review: Crank Brothers Speedier Lever

    With two road bikes, a cyclocross bike, a mountain bike, and a fleet of kids' bikes in the garage...I change a lot of flats. I am always in search of the perfect tire lever, especially since I often run puncture resistant or tubeless tires, and I appreciate the little bit of help they give me. I admit that I do not have the strongest hands, and I often struggle with certain tires like Gatorskins and Schwalbe One V Guards that I like to run in the winter or on the kids' bikes
    Review: Vittoria Rubino Pro G+ 25mm Tires

    Review: Vittoria Rubino Pro G+ 25mm Tires

    Personally, I have always been curious about Vittoria tires since I bought my first pair of 23mm Corsa Evo CXs back when I first started riding. The difference between those and the stock tires that came on my bike were like night and day. They were so supple, so fast, so...prone to flatting. When Vittoria announced their graphene infused tires a few years back, they made promises that I bet a lot of people were skeptical about. You can read all about that HERE. I just wanted
    Zwift App Gets a Nice Fix

    Zwift App Gets a Nice Fix

    Today. I noticed that Zwift updated their Mobile App, now called Zwift Companion. You can check it out for iOS HERE and for Android HERE. You can watch Shane Miller's great video on it above, or the Zwiftcast segment that both came out today. The app still has all your favorite screens that let you control the online experience from your phone, and it still lets you sign up for events offline. It is great for grabbing some screenshots to throw up on your Strava feed or to giv
    Why Zwift? Part 4, "Races and Group Rides"

    Why Zwift? Part 4, "Races and Group Rides"

    Some of the best reasons to ride Zwift go beyond the structured workouts and the ability to roll through virtual worlds on endurance or recovery rides in free ride mode. Sometimes it is hard to focus using free ride mode or workouts. I have found that the "social" aspects of Zwift have really helped me to improve my attention to proper training. Races for one, give me a dynamic opportunity to have a hard day on the bike. The mobile app allows me to look for a race that fits m

    Planet Bike Hardcore Fenders

    I spoke to a colleague today, and he was hard at work writing a piece for the local paper on the topic of men’s hats. Jim is an older gentleman who substitutes in our building, and he and I really hit it off. He told me that he spends 12-14 hours crafting his pieces before he sends them off to the local paper’s op/ed page. He was full into his long, handwritten manuscript that eventually would be given off to his wife, a former Navy typist, who would proofread it and get it r
