POC – Trabec Race

Wednesday, 08 September 2010 03:00

I like the style of this new offering from POC, the Tabec Race. Very light and and yet very strong helmet construction with a vent hole pattern evenly distributed to optimize airflow and at the same time offer protection. I love the styling at the back; looks lovely and flat for velomobile types and there [...]

Mad about Power

Tuesday, 07 September 2010 04:56

Look and Polar introduced the KéO direct-measurement power meter pedals at Euro bike per an article on Bikeradar.com. The pedals are just 170g each and all in (add in the wireless transmitters, cleats, and hardware a) the total weighed is listed at 448g (a fraction under 1 pound) for the pair. This much science doesn’t [...]

So who has YOUR back?

Sunday, 05 September 2010 01:00

What the heck IS that thing?

Saturday, 04 September 2010 07:43

Penny and I took a trip to Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. It is a delightful town of some 11,000+ folks, just north of my hometown of Red Deer, with some great riding around their several natural lakes (they have 5 or 6 natural lakes right within the town). Apparently we’d brought Lacombe its first velomobile because [...]
