A lot of this blog (and a lot of Dallas based bicycle blogs in general) are focused on very specific parts of the Dallas bike culture – mostly to do with casual, fixed gear riding …

I’ve been in the hunt for a touring bike with specific features for a couple of years now.  I wanted a somewhat slack geometry, fender and rack eyelets, and I like shiny bits so my …

Like most of the bicycle bloggers out there, over the past couple of years I got back into bicycling and became just the biggest bike fool you have ever met. When my lovely wife was …
