Episode 112 - Introduction Interruptus
May 13, 2012
We’ve got news... Lots and lots of...
Ok, that’s just a flat out lie. There’s really not much news, but what we do have is exciting. First, gear for kids! Bilt, Cycle Gear’s house brand, has a full line of gear for kids. Everything from classic Fonzie leather to high-tech textile 4-season gear. Check it out. Also from the “hey, this is pretty cool†files, sales of the Japanese big-four are up. While the numbers we have reflect Japanese domestic sales, anecdotally, this trend seems to be strong here in the USA, too. Also, looking for tires? Avon has a nice rebate on a few popular models[1].

- Heated gear - just do it!
Heated gear is the way to go. I resisted the need for heated for a while, but two years ago I bought a set of gerbings heated gloves and a vest. God, was a dumb, this is they best way to help ride year round. being in NC, I can ride 365 a year, except for the few times we get snow or ice on the roads.
