So we walked over to the Ergon Bike booth to check out their new back packs. I have to tell you, this like no other back pack I’ve ever tried. First of all, it has these straps that pretty much hug your body. I even told the fella that was demonstrating the bag that I…

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. So with my knee slowly starting to feel better, I didn’t want to jump on my bike…
This afternoon Priscilla and I were talking in the living room about mountain biking. So I got up and said, “Let’s go!â€Â? Priscilla looked at me and asked if I was serious since I’ve been having some knee pain lately. I reassured her that I was and that I’ll make sure that I take it…

You may have remembered the Discovery Channel Team along with other brand names out there that even include Evomo, Giant, and…
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…
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. If you are deciding to open up a bicycle shop or…
: Being a holiday and all, I called up Moe late last night to see if he’d be interested in doing a short ride at Turnbull Canyon in Whittier. Priscilla and I loaded up the Trek Remedy 5 (her ride) and the Woodstock 707 (my ride) then we swung by this morning and picked up…
