GETTING A FLAT CAN MAKE YOUR RIDE BETTER

ON A BEAUTIFUL LATE-SUMMER RIDE UNDER a cerulean blue sky, I got my second flat in three days.

THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY BIKES TO CHOOSE FROM

\"PERFECTION IS ACHIEVED, NOT WHEN there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.\"

THE CASE AGAINST STRAVA

I'LL BEGIN BY SINGING SOME PRAISES: Without Strava, I'm not sure I'd have re-engaged with cycling at the level I did. Coming from just occasionally messing around on mountain bikes as a teenager to trying my best to race at an elite level, Strava has played a role in pushing me to PR, hunt KOMS, and ride faster and harder than ever before.

THE UPSIDE OF GETTING YOUR CAR STOLEN

AFTER I PARKED AT THE LAFAYETTE COLLEGE track for my workout, I did what I always do: I put my phone and wallet in the center console of my car and took the car key off the ring so I could fit it into the tiny pocket inside my running shorts.

THE UNLIKELY HERO WHO RECOVERED OVER 200 STOLEN BIKES IN ONE AMERICAN CITY

It was a sunny day in the summer of 2022. There were some things I had to move into the house, so I left the garage door open. I was gone less than 15 minutes.

YOU CAN BE MORE THAN JUST A CYCLIST

I'VE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR SPORTS, starting with the usual team ones such as football and baseball. But that faded in favor of more individual pursuits. Watching my dad roll down the driveway to go for a ride, I wanted to do the same. The bike was my first taste of freedom, a freedom to do it my way.

THE RIGHT SADDLE CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

UP UNTIL RECENTLY, I WAS, AT BEST, A TWICEa-month cyclist.

HOW TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE RIDER YOU USED TO BE

WHY YOU DESERVE A CUSTOM BIKE

Custom. The word evokes passionate opinions about what constitutes a custom-made bike and who gets to ride one. There's this idea that they're wildly expensive pieces of functional art meant only for the fittest, fastest riders.

PERFORMANCE EYEWEAR -FOR ALLTYPES OF RIDERS

These stylish and comfortable shades improve visibility on gravel rides, diminish road shadows, and will stay put on your face even when mountain biking. Bonus: We also tested a few prescription options.

PRO ROAD RACERS AREN'T COOL ANYMORE

AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING LIKE AN OLD MAN yelling at a cloud, I don't think pro road racers are cool anymore.

BIKE RACING HAS NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD

I KNOW PRECIOUS LITTLE ABOUT COLLEGE basketball.

GIVE YOUR BIKE THE LOVE IT DESERVES

IT WASN'T THE FIRST OR THE LAST TIME A BIKE left me stranded. At this point in my life, it's not about having \"the legs\" or endurance to sustain a ride, event, or race-but rather a transparent awareness of accepting what I have and who I am.

EVERY GRAM MATTERS

SRAM'S UPDATES TO ITS RED GROUP PROVIDE BIG RIDER BENEFITS

I DON'T REMEMBER THE HIT-AND-RUN THAT NEARLY KILLED ME.BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST TIME I SAW MY SHATTERED BIKE.

BACK WHEN I WAS AN EDITOR AT BICYCLING MAGAZINE, IN the 2010s, I covered the walls of my office with bike jerseys: one each from the many teams I'd raced for, a bunch from different events, and a few collectible ones from bygone races that I'd been gifted or I had thrifted.
