Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. You really want to know what gear you need? Don’t ask someone who has it; ask someone who’s lost it. Because really, you don’t know the true value of something until you know what it’s like to not have it. No doubt it has happened to you: Get home from a camping trip, unpack, and almost everything’s accounted for — almost. Check and recheck your backpack, duffel, pockets, backseats, and under the seats. Nothing. It’s hard to believe at first, but with every passing day, it becomes more and more clear. It’s gone. Don ..read more

This is the e-bike you park next to your Porsche, not your Corolla. Many e-bikes are all about accessibility: helping riders find a new pedal-powered path with a little boost. But with its stealthy carbon layup, electronic shifting, and — cough — $10,000 price tag, Pivot’s new E-Vault isn’t about giving just anyone a (literal) leg up. No, the E-Vault has a touch of the elite — made by a high-end mountain bike brand for consumers who sort their online shopping lists by price highest to lowest, not vice versa. But for the price, riders receive a premium-build hardtail to tackle urban ..read more

Commuting via bike has always had its perks. Now, those perks could come in the form of tax breaks. A bill reintroduced to Congress this session — first introduced in 2019 as the Bicycle Commuter Act — could grant bike commuters a tax break. Another bill, the Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment (E-BIKE) Act, brought to the floor last week, would grant a tax break for e-bike riders as well. Introduced by Reps. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), the E-BIKE Act essentially encourages the use of e-bikes as a mode of zero-carbon transportation. “Compared ..read more

Biking in winter is always a little tricky. But this might be a tad overkill. One cyclist has made a pretty crazy adaptation of the good ol’ winter bike. He machined wheels out of saw blades. Yup, off went the wheels and on went a set of custom circular saw blades. “Please welcome a bike with circular saws instead of wheels that can easily ride on ice — the icуcycle,” announced The Q, which originally posted the video. Best of all, this is real. In the video, you’ll get to see how the inventor made his saws-for-wheels idea come to life. It all started with a stick figure drawing. (Not nearly a ..read more
