Bags By Bird Better Half Framebag: Review and Mini Shop Visit

In Stock For Now: The Radavist Edition Ombraz Dolomite Sunnies

Without arms, these glasses pack down flat, making them easy to store in a pocket, and since they rely on a cord to tighten, can be hung around your neck when not in use with ease. I’ve been wearing Ombraz since the brand’s inception and have been hooked, prompting this collaboration. Let’s check it out below.

Spring Ahead: Why Cane Creek’s New Smaller IL Shocks Are a Big Deal

About a month ago, we were fixin’ to publish a long-term review of the Coil IL shock Travis Engel has been running, problem-free, since 2021. But that model is six years old, and we got a whiff of something new on the horizon. And today, we finally get to look and whiff, because Cane Creek just dropped news of the updated Coil IL and Air IL. We’ll break down what’s new, what’s not, and why it matters.

Bicycle Crumbs Reviews: The Ortlieb Commuter-Daypack High Visibility

Purpose-built for commuting, the Ortlieb Commuter Day-Pack High Visibility brings new meaning to the term reflectivity.
