Powder Stretch Fleece Tights

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

The great thing about these Powder Stretch Fleece Tights is their two unique surfaces – a wind-resistant outer layer and a soft velour fleece inner layer. They give you cosy warmth without lots of bulk and a comfortable 4-way stretch.
There’s another unique thing about these tights too. At Foxwear, you can order them off the […]

When IceBiker groused that he couldn’t find any decent rain pants, Foxwear took him seriously and made a pair of rain pants that met all his specs.
Now they’re public and you can have some too. IceBiker knows whereof he speaks. So these pants are right. The Durastretch Cycling Rain Pants born of all this grousing […]

The Weird Alternative: Sandals in Winter

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

Don’t look at me. I’m just repeating what I’ve heard. In the cold, blustery, hideous weather of winter – even in the rain and snow – some cyclists (who shall remain unnamed) prefer to wear sandals.
Here’s their thinking. If you wear a cycling shoe, your feet will freeze. Cram as many socks as you can […]

CycleOps Bike Thong

Friday, February 24th, 2006

You’ve seen the small lake that starts to form beneath your indoor trainer when you ride? A lot of those same buckets of perspiration pour off you when you’re on the road too. Perspiration is aggressive and can corrode your bike.
CycleOps Bike Thong is made to handle that. Hook it up between your handlebar and […]

The CatEye Double Shot is made of a tough die-cast aluminum, that’s not only virtually indestructible, but fully compatible with CatEye wireless devices. You’ll run for 5 hours, then recharge in 3. Good to have on the road.

Got Game?

Friday, February 24th, 2006

OK, first, the CatEye Game Bike isn’t a game bike. It’s a tiny, little piece of tech that will let you control your moves on a Playstation with your bike, as you ride. Put this dial beneath your wheel and you’re in the game – steering with your handlebars, pedaling for speed. Never gonna work […]

Hitching a Trailer Bike

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

If your bike is for racing and training 100% of the time, you can stop reading now. This has nothing to do with you. Only those who’ve got a little kid to tote along on your ride to keep you company, watch you strut your stuff or fill with love of cycling, should keep reading.
Consider […]

Air Stryke Aerobars

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

You’ve seen them on the road – cyclists leaning on extra armrests at the top of their bars. Some look as appealing as the Inquisition. But check out these Air Stryke Aerobars.  They’re great when you want them and, when you don’t, the spring-loaded arm brackets lift them out of your way. They’ve also got […]
