When you have 4 billion dollars from selling bottles of flavored caffeine you probably feel a little guilty. Thankfully the creator of 5 hour energy, Manoj Bhargava, puts that guilt to good use. He's commited to giving away 99% of his fortune to fund amazing project to help improve the world, like the energy generating stationary bike he's pedaling away at below.
When on the road, whether it’s for a competition or for transportation of your bike for personal recreation in a new place, you are going to need a case. Bike travel cases come in all sorts of shapes and sizes but the one thing that unites them all is the fact that they have a reinforced cover so that the delicate parts of your bike are well protected and suffer no damage on the way to your final destination. The following are all rolling cases (it’d be pretty damn stupid if they weren’t). I’ve included one bike bag only because it was so innovative and has a Homer Simpson “Doh!” factor 20 (why didn’t anyone ever think of this before?) that I had to throw it in.
These cases do require that you or a mechanic remove the pedals, dismount the handlebar from the frame and remove the wheels, as well as the seat post. Remember to take the necessary tools if you plan to do it yourself.
This problem is so annoying. If you haven't messed around with front derailleurs very much you might end up in derailleur rub purgatory, a never ending loop of limit adjustments and derailleur tweaks that never fix the problem.
Damn, that is one sweet ride. Engin makes some amazing rides, based out of Philadelphia. Just look at that lugs, so sexy.
This is the guy I would be in my alternate life. Just a chill SoCal bro biking to some primo surf spot, living out my chill existence, afterwards just chillaxing at my rich parents beach side bungalow. But for real that is a sweet surf board bike rack. Mad props.
This is the girl you think you're going to meet when you study abroad, but then you realize European guys are way taller and more handsome than you expected.
