Wednesday, 15 September 2010 01:00

In North America, I think it is fair to say most folks think biking = sport. Really gradually, some of us see biking as just plain transportation.

How in the heck can I warm my neck…

Monday, 13 September 2010 12:26

The answer may come from Sanyo… and their new Enerloop Neck Warmer! In Canada, in the winter, I suspect the coldest part of me on a velomobile ride is going to be my head and neck; at least that is the only part of me that will be sticking out into the wind and cold. [...]
