With a title like that, I bet you’re wondering what I’m talking about. Well, here it is…”how long does it take for you to get OUT OF SHAPE?” I’m not talking about getting IN SHAPE, but OUT. I ask this question because I’ve had a nagging cough for about a month. I thought that if…

I received the Serfas True 1500 Headlight back in Spring, but as soon as I got it, daylight savings hit and I rarely used it at night since the sun wasn’t going down until after I was done on my night rides. With Fall in full swing I’ve been able to log in a few…

Lately I’ve been questioning that – and also feeling like I wanted…

Continental has provided us here at MtnBikeRiders.com with a set of 26″ tires for evaluation and testing. They sent us the Race King (2.2) and the X-King (2.4) which according to their website is pronounced Cross-King.

A few months ago we were sent the LifeProof iPhone Case to review. This product claims it’s water, dirt, snow and shock proof. What better way to test a product than by going mountain biking and giving it to the hands of a teenage girl. I’ll get more into that later. One of the items…
