Weekday Morning Rides
For every reason you have as well, I haven’t had much time to get out on a road ride and just go. This morning, however, I found myself with a little time to get out there before work to stretch my legs and once again attempt to get into riding shape. I consider riding shape […]
John Martin’s Evergreen SL – Review
John Martin, friend, cyclist, founder of the Bradley Street Bicycle Co-Op recently took delivery of his Seven Cycles Evergreen SL, and was kind enough to write a review complete with photos: I am 30 years old with the bank account of an 18 year old. I work on bikes for a living, and have had […]
Spring Rides and the Season Starter Tune Up Promotion
Spring is a rewarding time to ride. I love the lively birds who chirp and squawk like they haven’t seen another bird in months or have strong opinions on how best to build a nest. The same goes for the group riders, many of whom haven’t been on a ride since fall, so chatty we […]
NAHBS – 2018
I overheard someone refer to the annual North American Handmade Bike Show as the “World Series of Bike Shows,” and I thought that sounded pretty appropriate.

Because in addition to riding beautifully paved roads, we’ll be riding on some unimproved roads, some dirt trails, some gravel paths, and a sprinkling of […]
True to Brew: Black Hog and OEC
If you’ll recall, the last True to Brew group ride, “The Coast,” was on the hottest day of the year, of the poorest air quality, of maximum humidity, and ended at an air condition-less brewery, or as we’d call it, a complete success. Just look how sweaty we were: The next installment, to be held […]
Detour de Connecticut: A Day in the Saddle
The Detour de Connecticut was a bit of a mystery as far as I could tell. From all I had heard, the ride itself was similar in design to the famed D2R2, in that it was mostly off road, close to 120 miles in length, offered rolling hills, views, farmland, and required bikes with a […]
Royal H Custom All Roads
I have more than twelve years of experience working with Seven Cycles, who just summarized why they are, in my opinion, the best custom builder in the world namely, because they listen, then proceed as a team, working side by side with the rider and the bike shop to ensure the very best bike gets fabricated.
