I was checking out Consumer Reports’ Bike recommendations and I found this tidbit:

Wal-Mart and Toys “R” Us sell plenty of bikes from brands such as Huffy, Mongoose, Roadmaster, and Schwinn for $100 to $200. They seem like good deals, so why would we advise you to spend $300 or more for […]

Nick has finally finished the transformation of the Xootr Swift to a Fixed Gear Urban Weapon. He ditched the bars, saddle, rear derailleur, bar post and of course, gears. His final add on was some really cool bullhorn handlebars.
By the look on his face, he seems to be enjoying this cool ride!

Rl has been moonlighting at Jax Bicycles in Fullerton for awhile. I got a great deal from Jax when I purchased my Gary Fisher Cobia 29er. The guys from Jax are pretty cool too. They know their stuff very well.
RL also told me about a fundraiser that Jax will be conducting for one of […]

Sweetskinz is a manufacturer of tires that thinks outside the box. Their line up of tires is unique, flashy and they have safety in mind. The company is so cool that we are lucky to receive high performance prototype tires to test.
I put a pair of Nightwing tires on my K2 Lithium 4.0. […]
