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 –…
For quite some time now I have wanted to try a full carbon saddle, just for fun. In case you are not familiar with them they are basically a piece of carbon fiber (like bikes are made out of) shaped into a bike saddle. The only other thing these saddles…
More and more people are riding with bike lights in the daytime, I personally don’t but it probably is a good idea, considering the statistics and how people seem to have less and less respect for others. I also don’t ride at night but occasionally I do ride during overcast…
If you’re not into kickstands, or have a carbon bike, or just want a convenient bike stand/bike rack for your bike while you are washing/cleaning/lubing/working on it there are a lot of choices.

Quick review here, of the Uriah Windproof Cycling Shoe Covers or Techway Thermal Shoe Covers or Docooler Shoe Cover (or one of the others that are exactly the same and sold by various companies). If you live and bike anywhere where it gets fairly cold you may either need to use something…

I don’t do a huge amount of super-intense high performance training, but I like to improve my biking (as well as running, weight-lifting, and everything else) here and there with as much training as possible (while still enjoying the hell out of my rides – something I couldn’t do if I…
When I acquired my newest bicycle, an endurance cycle made for multiple conditions (Kona Esatto), the company website mentioned all the accessories that could be used put on it. Including bike racks and panniers. Unfortunately, a standard bike rack with arms on the front that attach to eyelet mounts (or bosses) on…
When I see people biking without a helmet it makes me cringe. Even when I see the casual and slow bicyclists. Not that I don’t blame people for biking without a helmet. They can be warm and some people think they feel awkward on their head, maybe some think they look funny, an…
