One thing I’ve learned after a 20-year career as a travel (and travel-gear) journalist: Stay hydrated while flying. Another thing I’ve learned: The odds are very, very good that I’ll accidentally leave my water bottle or travel mug behind, tucked in a seat-back pocket, never to be seen again—at least not by me. So, here’s a third thing I’ve finally learned: Don’t bring fancy insulated bottles when traveling. Instead, I carry a CamelBak Podium cycling water bottle. It’s cheap and light, and it doesn’t leak.

Pity the poor loved ones of devoted cyclists. When the weather’s good, they abandon you for the open road. When the weather’s lousy, they’re down in their bike cave, elbow-deep in chain lube and tire sealant. Then comes the challenge of finding an acceptable gift. Anything too practical, like a helmet or a pump, they probably already own. (Plus, they Have Definite Opinions on what they prefer.) Dismiss ..read more

A bike handlebar bag is simple. It’s a fanny pack for your bike, built with consideration for all of your bike-specific needs, like being able to open it while you’re riding, or having access to a subway card or a key. While a good one can’t change your life, it can save you from showing up with a sweaty back after pedaling across town to the office, the party, or the office party. And maybe showing up less sweaty to that party will change your life. After spending almost 20 hours interviewing cycling professionals and researching handlebar bags on the internet, we picked 14 bags, put them on ..read more
