You've likely heard the phrase "steel is real". What does it mean and where did it come from? What was your first bike? We had a 1979 steel Fuji Singlespeed. #bikelife #bikesky #cycling

If you're not familiar with Old Man Mountain, well, they just introduced an incredible new standard. The FLIP mount. We're stoked to see how other manufacturers hop on board with this new standard. We'll have a review coming soon!

Can’t quite figure out what Visma is thinking.
That’s awesome!
Today is the Queen stage of the Tour De France! What are your predications? We'd love to Jonas make a real go of it today. #bikesky #tourdefrance
We recently took some time to reflect on the incredible endeavors of Lael Wilcox. She's been an inspiration to folks for nearly a decade and we wanted to highlight some of her achievemenets, both on and off the bike.

ultra light titanium cycling bolts in a gold finish
For anyone looking to spend money on unnecessary but very cool upgrades, look no further than these titanium bolts from Trail One Components. They're expensive, marginally lighter, but infinitely cool.

Nice! I miss the days of living in a place where it made sense to ditch the car.
Garmin 67i in the mountains of Colorado.
Bike computers are great these days but there is still a spot on our bike and in our hearts for a handheld GPS and SOS device. The Garmin 67i improves on a classic design with 160 hours of battery life. #bikesky #bikepacking #bikelife #biketour #camping

Do you bring a handheld gps device with you? We have used the Garmin GPSMAP devices for years. The Garmin 67i is a solid update to an already great device. Now, it boasts 160 hours of battery life. #bikepacking #bikesky

Stoked to watch. I don't really think it's much of a rivalry between Jonas and Tadej anymore. Not sure who can beat Tadej at this point.
Great stage

We recently posted our take on the Aventon Ramblas E-Bike. Sorry, but we think they're awesome. E-bikes aren't for everyone, and that's ok, because they serve a large market and can help ignite a love for cycling. This particular bike shreds.

Bikepacking frame bag on a gravel bike
Have you tried the 52hz welded frame bags from Rockgeist? It’s an interesting roll top design that is 100% waterproof. Quite frankly, we love the bag and we love the innovation. #bikesky #gravelbike #cycling #bikepacking
Those climbs feel rougher at such high elevation!
Went for a little ride today.
We've been testing the Knog Blinder 2300 light and we have been extremely satisfied. This light is crazy bright, can last all night, be charged via USB-C, or even have the batteries hot swapped. This is a killer light for #bikepacking #bikesky #bikingwest #bikelife

Working on a review of the ORNOT thermal cargo bibs. These are warm! They also have an exceptional chamois that rivals the most expensive ones we have ever worn. #bikesky #bikelife #bikes #bikingwest
