The MovesTrainer TipsAfter I wrote this story about increasing the range of motion of our necks to be able to better turn our heads and look behind us while we’re riding, I got a bunch of emails from readers saying that the topic resonated with them. And that got me thinking about necks. About all we put them through during our modern day-to-day lives of looking down at various technologies, sleeping funny, bad posture, and just overall neglect. And how that leads to problems.

Jump to:HipsNeckKneesFootBackHandsAnkleAs you begin logging more miles, aches and pains can start cropping up.

Pros Are Running Extra-Wide Gravel Tires on Their Race Bikes. Here's Why That Can Be a Bad Idea

1 week ago | bicycling.com | Dan Chabanov

Gravel riding and racing is as popular as it’s ever been and is still growing as a racing discipline for professionals and amateurs alike. The last few years of gravel bikes and equipment have seen mostly modest and linear changes. Not long ago, 40 to 42mm gravel tires seemed perfectly fine for racing. Heck, I rode the 200-mile distance at Unbound on 42 and 38mm tires front and rear just three years ago. But in the past year, the preferred tire size for gravel racing has ballooned dramatically.

Chris Burrill’s been coming to Sea Otter for years, and it never disappoints him. He loves checking out the latest bike tech (and likely texted his wife photos of a few new tandem accessories he spotted) and he loves racing something “fun.” Most of all, he loves being surrounded by people who are enjoying the ride just as much as he is.

2 weeks ago | bicycling.com | Dan Chabanov

In cycling lore, a quote attributed to Eddy Merckx has been around for ages. It goes something like, “Don’t buy upgrades, ride up grades.” Feel free to bust that out if you ever feel like killing the mood of someone happily telling you about their new bike. Fortunately, the two are not mutually exclusive and many riders derive joy from tinkering with and upgrading their bikes and riding them. As a former racer, I’ll admit to having spent too time thinking about upgrading my bike.
The 10 Bike Pumps That Earned a Permanent Spot in Our Garages

2 weeks ago | bicycling.com | Tara Seplavy

Bike pumps are the unsung heroes of cycling. You wouldn’t get very far without one, whether it’s a mini pump that goes along for the ride or a hard-working floor pump in the garage. Either way, both serve the same purpose: to inflate your tires. A floor pump typically does its job faster and with better accuracy, while a mini pump can get you out of a jam and back in action until you’re home again, where you can top off your tire pressure with a floor pump.
