Cold feet prevent sleep. It doesn’t matter how warm the rest of your system is—if your feet are cold, you don’t relax. You toss, you turn, and you hope the sun comes up faster than it will.

Lessons and insights after two months as a long-time cyclist, first time 3D printer

Bike travel shouldn’t come with anxiety about frame damage. The Axle Folie protects your dropouts so you can focus on the ride—not the risk.

Instability makes riding bikes fun, and fun-riding bikes. The devil is in the details. Let's talk about that.

I was drawn to SQ Lab because I perceived a commitment to long-lived products and transparent communication of safety standard compliance. These products are not glamorous; my riding buddies have not said, ‘Wow, cool, you have those new SQ Lab bars!’, or anything remotely like that. The products don’t make themselves conspicuous. It’s been conversations about comfort on the bike that have raised topics like bar and saddle geometry, which implicates ‘flex’ and resilience, and thus, safety. Everything is connected.

The second explosion sounds louder than the first, probably because I’m conscious from the go this time. What time? 05:00. What is going on here? I feel fairly certain that was some sort of cannon, and wow, did it ever pack a concussive punch. It didn’t go off in Mals, I’m pretty sure; somewhere else in the valley. An avalanche cannon? If so, why, it’s August. There’s no snow around here.

In my view, products that aim to be everything to someone and succeed are special, and build deep brand loyalty. Is there a someone for whom Powershift is everything?

If there’s something resembling a common feeling associated with flying with bikes, it has to be anxiety. Maybe it’s a ‘the more you know the more you worry’ thing; maybe not.

If you’re interested in travelling with your family AND your bike, this is going to be particularly relevant.
