Profile Design's E Pack

Cole has one of these and he let me use it on our mini-tour, and it would've been a pain in the ass without it- and actually, ever since we got back, it has been a little bit of a pain in the ass without one! Read more...

Yuba Mundo

I've had a lot more time with the Mundo now and have had a few other people take it out for spin, and feel I gave it a good test and here is what I have found out.

First, its amazing how many things you'll use this bike for. I'm sure when you're thinking of buying one you will ask yourself "how much will I really use it?". Well I'm here to say a lot! Read More...

Yuba Go Getter Pannier

Along with the Mundo I received a go-getter pannier. This pannier is designed for the Mundo, but the site says it could be used with other long tails. The pannier is easy enough to attach- you just clip four straps around the tube of the rack and you're ready to go. Read more...

Wald 157 giant delivery basket

I talked to Wald about sending a basket our way- they said sure and asked what we were thinking- my exact words were “the bigger the better”.

Arkel OD Utility Basket Pannier UPDATE!

I was talking with Arkel before our mini-tour, and they were going to send a nice set of rear waterproof panniers- only problem, someone was using them at the time, and they didn't show up in time either, so I went with what I had, and that was Arkel's OD Utility Basket Pannier. Read More...

Talk to y'all soon- Ride safe! ...And enter the contest!

Ya hear that? Me Neither- It's the sound of no late bells ringing!!! On time... Word!

This week we've got the second review on IRO's Angus, the first of Torker's U-District, we take a good look at Bern's Brentwood Helmet, and a special toy review- Flick Trix's PK Ripper from SE Bikes- circa 1981! Check it!

We're working hard trying to get ready for our tour- My sleeping came from Kelty the other day- it's their Forecast model- and we've got a set of panniers coming from Arkel! I'll post pictures soon, and expect the reviews towards the middle of June!

Bronwen found this picture on the internet (stolen location unknown) the other day and we both thought it was funny...
