I’ve been wanting to acquire a dashcam for quite a while now. People are idiots when driving in general, and you never know when you need video evidence if something bad happens. And of course occasionally I see something interesting that I want to record just for fun. I’ve…
I just got around to trying 22 Minute Hard Corps (link for Deluxe kit) from Beachbody and Tony Horton even though it’s been around for a bit. And, of course, I wanted to review it here even though I’m a bit late to the party. During the entire time I…
This review is for the Zeny Bike Mechanic Repair Stand, which is also sold under other brands like LEMY, Sportneer, Yaheetech, Bikehand, etc. These are all exactly the same bike stand, just with different branding. There are also a few that have different colored knobs and such, but again –…
I didn’t come up with this DIY hood and trunk tie-down method or anything, but it works so well I thought that I would create a little post with pics to show how well it works. Previously we had a large canoe that we carried on top of a Ford…

I’ve changed a lot of bike tires and replaced/repaired lots of tubes since I started biking as a kid. Probably most of those reading this blog post have. For me that included tires and tubes ranging from way back with the huge ones on the first bike I…
For this review I will be covering the Audew portable hand pump, which works great for bicycles as well as pretty much anything else that needs to be pumped up or filled the conventional way.s In the interest of transparency I was contacted directly by Audew and offered this product…
Review – Garmin Edge 520 Plus I’ve always ridden, logged rides, and trained with a multi-sport watch (except when I was a kid and had one of those gaugey sort of things), and in the last few years I have also used the top display on my Garmin…
This review will thoroughly cover the Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music and the Garmin Vivoactive 3 fitness smartwatches. For a number of years I have used my venerable Garmin Forerunner 620 for tracking my biking, running, hiking, walking and a number of other exercise- and fitness-related activities. It was a great…
