Road ID is one of the simplest and most common sense products I’ve come across in a long time. If you’re anything like me you probably don’t bring your wallet or even your ID when you head out for a training ride. I just never think to do it, and when I do I usually... »
I’m not a huge pro cycling fan, I usually catch some Tour de France highlights each year, and read some of the blog posts about doping scandals, but for the most part that’s been the extent of my following pro cycling the last few years. This year might be different though. I just got done... »
Just a quick post to note that Durango’s Mountain Bike Specialists Spring Sale is going on now (it started yesterday) through March 31st.

According to the Brewers Association, in 2009 small and independent craft brewers saw sales dollars increase 10.3% and... »
This is one way to do Beer ‘n Bikes. Milwaukee’s Lakefront Brewery recently released Fixed Gear American Red Ale. As the fixed gear focused blog trackosaurusrex observes, Lakefront Brewery is just minutes from Cog Magazine’s headquarters. I’ve never been to Milwaukee but from what I’ve seen there’s quite the urban fixed gear scene there. If... »
