Rapha Women's Classic Softshell Jacket

Girl Gear :: Rapha Women’s Classic Softshell Jacket

.
This jacket saved my life. You know when you get those winter cycling blues, the kind that make you sulk and pout and check the weather three times a day, hoping for a better forecast? If you are like me, when winter finally hits it takes a good solid kick in the butt to get pedaling again.  Not riding my bike makes me crazy and sends me toward the grave at a exponential rate. Enter Rapha’s Women’s Classic Softshell Jacket, [...]

Girl Gear :: Pactimo Ascent Shorts

.
Girl Bike Love, well, loves to review new gear so you can imagine our excitement when Pactimo sent us over a couple of kits to try out.

Ridley has a great price on the Orion road bike [...]

This past weekend, after several weeks nursing a fractured elbow, I got to give them a try with a few long rides in some unseasonably warm Midwest fall weather. As soon as I put them on, I noticed the exceptional fit and [...]

InterBike – What Exactly WERE They Doing in Vegas???

.
Normally, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” but I have to share a LITTLE about the trip out west to the 2011 InterBike conference. Between missing a shuttle bus from the outdoor demo and almost getting stranded in the desert, a trip to the ER (don’t worry, nothing a few stitches and a splint couldn’t fix), and racing on kids’ Strider Bikes, I swear I was doing work, getting info on new products, and learning a lot. I swear.  The Bikes: [...]
