If your arms get tired and hands go numb after spending hours on the bike, you might want to have a look at the new ShockStop from Redshift Sports (makers of the Switch Aero System). This shock absorbing stem isolates your upper body from the imperfections of the road, letting you ride further and more comfortably without compromising steering responsiveness or current bike fit.

Cycliq originally created the Fly6 as a way to capture any incidents that may happen when you are out riding your bike–basically to be the eyes in the back of your head. Though it’s not going to exactly prevent accidents (although riding with a tail light can aid in visibility even during the day), the tail light camera can help you better understand and even prove what happened–not to mention capture some great ride video in the meantime. As car-bike incidents are sadly all too common here in the Bay Area, I thought it would be great to start riding with the Fly6 when out on the road.
Yesterday, Garmin announced their smallest and lightest bike computers yet–the Edge 20 and the Edge 25. Capturing basic ride data, the new bike computers are for those cyclists who just want something simple and easy to read on their ride without taking up much space on the handlebars.
