Bent is Better

Like so many other things, what’s right for everyday life doesn’t apply to serious cycling.
Getting a proper bike fit is part science, part intuition. When it’s right, you’ll notice nothing. But when it’s wrong, it will hurt. And not in a good way. Use it.
Bike mechanics the world over claim that most bike repairs are the result of poor maintenance. And on a bike, maintenance begins with keeping it clean.
Now they can be. Strap on a Viosport helmet with a Sony Adventure CAM 3 and you can take your friends along.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to ride at full speed down a plank suspended in the trees, then fly off into mid-air, but love your life too much to try it, Viosport can take you there – on some other guy’s helmet.
How sweet is your ride? If you’re ready to show it off in public (on the web), now’s your chance.
You trash the whole high-tech, supercool thing if your helmet stinks. So you need to keep that from happening.
If you’ve got roomy winter shoes, don’t dismiss the possibility of heated socks.
If it’s going to get dark before 5:00 PM, you really don’t have a choice. A ride after work means a ride in the dark.
Regular tube earbands don’t always cut it. When you pull them over your ears, everything seems fine. But when lean down over your racer and tilt your head back, they slide up.
