Who’s ready for the classics?
There’s something about winter for me. I’m not sure if my body intentionally wants to take it easy before the hustle and bustle of spring hits, or if it’s just nice to sometimes dial back riding in the interest of not getting burnt out. Whatever the reason, each winter I find myself riding less and resting more. At least compared to normal frequencies.
Curious about eTAP? Above Category takes a look at SRAM’s new electronic shifting with three bikes, two of which are blowing my mind right now: a BAUM and a Mosaic. You’ve gotta head over to Above Category and see more photos. Or, check out some extensive shots below!
Pas Normal Studios take us on a ride through Toyama, Japan where the snow fell along with the temperature. See the full story at Pas Normal Studios.
Here’s a short, but sweet promo video for the Tour de San Luis featuring the road-trials rider Vittorio Brumotti doing his thing.
People like seeing BTS video of pro cyclists, right? Especially when it’s from team green machine in Spain!
… they spec’d a camo anodizing pattern on a Firefly! Well, on the seat tube of a Firefly anyway. Check out more at their Flickr!

As winter creeps along, we can all disappear into these roads, brought to you by Good Times Roll and Ritte.
… and here’s how Legor Cicli spends it.
Jack Kerouac once said: “Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.” This quote became the inspiration for the latest from Santa Barbara’s Stinner Frameworks. Check out the full story from the Road at the Stinner Blog!
Here’s a second entry in this COPD story we posted earlier in the week… Don’t miss Beyond Every Limit.
Los Angeles is warm and sunny all the time. Los Angeles is not warm and sunny all the time. Both statements are half-truths, the problem is one half can swing against your favor in an instant. That instant being when you head into the Angeles National Forest, chasing sunsets. Ted King is an east coaster. Granted, he’s raced all over the world but his home is the east coast. So when he made a trip out to California recently, he was surprised at how warm it was in the city. I warned him though, once we start climbing up into the mountains, it’ll be freezing. Guess what? It was cold. We were cold. Then the sun set and it was even colder. Luckily, warmth was just around that last bend coming back down Highway 2.
Enough environment… Our agenda was pretty clear and it should be obvious to you all: shoot photos of Ted to announce his new partnership with Velocio, an apparel company specializing in high-tech, race-fit apparel without super flashy graphics and gimmicks. You see, once you retire from professional cycling, you can’t just walk away from the sport. Ted loves to ride bikes and he wants to partner with like-minded companies who make products that he wants to use full-time. Assignments aside, I was just stoked to spend some time with Ted and show him some local rides. His bike was really dialed, his attitude, even more and don’t let Ted fool ya, he’s still fast as ever. Or maybe it was just my 30lb camera bag causing me to lag behind. Yeah, that’s it…
Velocio has an in-depth feature on Ted at their site, which you are more than welcomed to go read. In fact, you should because yes, while it is marketing, it’s true-to-form, real life Ted King. Head to Velocio to check it out and see more photos in the Gallery.

With a new year comes a slightly new calendar format. Enjoy!
Highway 2 at sunset is prime grounds for some #TeamDreamSunsetChasingTeam and believe it or not, this photo doesn’t even come close to the nuclear explosion that happens every day, from 2,000′ and up in LA.

2015 was an amazing year for the Radavist. Not only in terms of traffic, or stats, but in terms of content. We take pride in the site, the rides we record, products we feature and yes, the bicycles we document. This year was huge in terms of the places we traveled to and the people we met along the way. With people and places come Beautiful Bicycles and a lot of work!
Without rambling on too much, here’s a list of the Top 10 of 2015 ranked by traffic and social media chatter, from highest down…
This one’s killing me right now. I love bikes where no matter how much you look at them, something new appears in the finishing every time. Take for instance this Baum, painted by artist Zio Ziegler, recently built by Above Category and featured on their Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds. There’s a more in-depth feature on the way, but they didn’t hold back with the teaser images on their blog. Head to Above Category to see more!
