This article is for people who have questions about Recumbent Bike vs Upright Bike For as long as I can remember I’ve had bicycles… everything from the old hand me down beater, to 3 speed, to Schwin 10 Speed Road Bike, Hard Tail and Fully Suspended mountain bikes, and now recumbent bikes. I’ve ridden all [...]
Review of the Performance Alta Long Sleeve Cycling Jersey. Sunburn and riding enjoyment are mutually exclusive. If like me you are the kind of person that quickly tires of lathering up with sunscreen before each ride then this review is for you. After a lot of online research I arrived at the Performance Bike “Alta” [...]
Complete review of my new Continental Sport Contact Tires. A lot of people who ride recumbent bicycles are choosing to ride 559 road slicks. The options for quality road slicks in 559 that are lightweight, durable, and provide quality puncture protection are pretty limited. The Continental Sport Contact 559 x32 which I will be reviewing [...]
Walz Caps is an American Manufacturer of quality cycling caps. Yes they are not only an American Company, but they actually make them right here in the United States by hand! Walz Caps are 100% USA quality. I just hope that material is made here too That for me is a refreshing change, as I [...]

So I began searching online for custom bicycle wheel builders. The Mavic 717 with DT Swiss 240s hub was not my first choice. In fact I originally had the [...]
First off I’d like to say Thank You to Mark H. at BikeWagon for taking the time to not only reply to my questions about a Crankset and Tools, but to actually reply to each question then reply again after I sent follow up questions. This is the first Online Bicycle Store to actually respond [...]
From time to time I like to browse the manufacturer sites to see what’s new. While the Quest from Cruz Bike isn’t brand spanking new it’s new enough. Before I forget. Cruz Bike – how is the headrest design coming along? I’m always baffled by Recumbent Manufacturers that do not include Head Rests. It’s really [...]
A few months back I wrote to Velocity USA asking about wheels. My inqurery went unanswered. Why businesses bother to run websites and post email addresses then never respond to them makes little sense to me. But I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt on that one because I know that emails sometimes don’t [...]
Update: I bought some Avid Brakes from JensonUSA in July – they shipped me used/repackaged brakes and tried to pass them off as new. That’s just pathetic. They will never see another dollar from me. Which Bike Store Has the Cheapest Bike Parts? Don’t we all really want to know where to buy the parts [...]
