Bike Fitting – Size My Bike – iPhone App Review

I was recently contacted by Nicholas over at SizeMyBike requesting that I review their iPhone (iPod Touch) app that helps determine sizing for both road & mountain bikes. How did he know that I love iPhone apps? He even provided a promo code for me to download the app for free. Being...

Vicki Thomas – Cy...

Guest Blog Post Hmm, kind of not sure how to introduce myself. But since you’re here on the popular Cyclemania website, I’m assuming that just like me, bikes are a big part of your life. So I’ll cut to the chase, I’m Vicki Thomas and I’m a cyclo-cross...

Japanese Bicycle Garage...

Our son Ryan sent me a video this week about a very interesting bicycle storage technique being used by the Japanese. You’ll have to let me ramble for a while before you see it (or skip ahead a bit). In my little world, bicycle storage is a matter of waiting until the first...

Cycling – Stonebr...

I have been experimenting with various methods of tracking the routes I take. Often times I am asked about a particular route and I am hard-pressed to remember road names etc…. Enter Helen’s iPhone. It coupled along with a nifty application from EveryTrail allows me...

Bamboo Bicycles –...

My Brother-in-Law Doug sent me a link to a Discovery Channel Video that I thought was pretty cool. When you think of it, a bicycle frame made from bamboo makes perfect sense. Bamboo is an extremely light and durable wood. It is easy to work with and widely available. Plus it is 100%...

Shopping for a Road Bik...

As I mentioned in this post, I am on the hunt for a road bike. It’s turned out to be a huge undertaking. Why you ask? Well there are many reasons. First and foremost, the available selection is very high. Then, once you have narrowed things down, you need to make further choices,...

What does one do when it’s -20 degrees Celsius outside? Go bike shopping of course! This morning I spirited my friend Sergio away from his family duties in order to bike shopping. I know a lot about bikes. But road bikes are a different beast and I wanted someone I could trust...

Cycling – Netherl...

I have hummed and hawed about what to do with respect to 2 wheeled transport whilst on our upcoming Dutch cycling adventure. We have finally decided that we will be a bit “crazy” and buy Dutch bicycles when we get there. My friend Marc over at Amsterdamize has been kind...

Cycling in Holland – so many bicycle choices to make

Cycling in Holland R...

As I have mentioned (ad nauseum), Helen & I are going a 2 week cycling excursion to Holland (aka The Netherlands). We had originally thought that we would bring our Trek 7.5 FXs with us as they are ideally suited for such an excursion.
