By Sheri Rosenbaum This summer I received a number of sunglasses to review for RBR. The four models covered in this roundup from 100%, Bliz, Scicon and Tifosi are designed with cyclists in mind, but can certainly be worn for other activities. They all provide a wide field of vision, quality optics and offer their…

By Stan Purdum You can pay less than $100 and get a good bicycle helmet — and in some cases, considerably less — and thanks to standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which all helmets sold in the United States since 1999 are required by law to meet, any of those helmets will…
By Sheri Rosenbaum Hydration and Energy in New Seasonal Flavors It’s always nice to mix it up with different flavors that aren’t overly sweet on long endurance rides. SKRATCH Labs released four new summer limited-edition seasonal flavors of its popular Sport Hydration Drink Mix, Super High Carb Drink Mix, and Energy Chews.
By Jim Langley In my Tech Talk, I provided five tips for winterizing your bicycle. Our knowledgeable RBR readers have also chimed in, adding their own valuable tips. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Let’s look at your recommendations and I’ll add a few related winterizing stories and tips.

Wondering if you could do a story on how to wear cycling shorts. Gonna sound weird how I explain this, but I know of no other way. Sounds simple but for me it’s not. I’ve been cycling for 40 years and occasionally still have problems with comfort. Not sure whether to have the shorts tight against my rear or leave room for body parts. I find sometimes I have to pull and tug at the chamois parts to relieve pressure. Sometimes I can ride 50 miles in comfort and sometimes my bottom is sore after 10 miles unless I start repositioning the chamois. I can ride the same shorts on different occasions. Sometimes nice, sometimes not. I ride in Castelli’s that fit real snug as well as store brands that are not so snug. Doesn’t matter which. Sometimes good, sometimes pain. Just would like to know if theres a proper way to position the shorts and chamois when I put them on to provide comfort for a long ride. I wear bib shorts exclusively.
I too have experienced similar experiences with my Castelli’s. What has helped me is to do a 30-second to 1 minute legs-spread squat before leaving on a ride. I’ve also started pulling up on my shorts so that there’s no baggy-extra short material; in other words, my snug than loose. For the most part it has been working. However . . . I do think that it should be ILLEGAL to make chamoises that are rough! ATIKA, ATIKA!! 🙂
Read your review on the Bont shoe, excellent review. NOW, try and purchase this shoe in the southern California area, from LA to San Diego, every bike shop tell me that they do not carry the Bont line as an in store selection but can order the shoe, when was the last time anyone should buy a $400 pair of shoes without first trying on the shoes.
I would think your reviews should be on items that one can find in local bike shops, at least in those cities the size of San Diego and LA.
Enjoy you publication.

I have extreme leg cramps only in 70.3 triathalons after bike but immediately on run. Have been trying to figure out for 3 years. Anything shorter race = no cramps. No cramping on training bikes/runs that are performed under race pace.
