KNEE REHAB THANKS TO KHS:

A while back KHS Bicycles lent us the Robix Spin Bike to review. Priscilla uses this thing 9 times a week. She’ll spin on that thing anywhere from 30 minutes to about an hour…sometimes 2 times a day.

GETTING YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND INTO RIDING … CAN BE HUMBLING AND ENCOURAGING

A few years back Priscilla didn’t care too much for mountain biking. In fact she kinda just did it half heartedly. But with time she grew to love it. I do recall times when she would be so slow or have to walk the hills. But now she’s amazing on the trail. She keeps up [...]

IN N OUT BURGERS AND BICYCLE SHOPS:

I recently read an article on the OC Register talking about how Chick-Fil-A is starting to open up franchises right next to In and Out Burgers. If you think about it, makes total sense right? If you still don’t get it, bear with me.
