    Have you broken a chain?

    My sister in law broke a chain around at about 1000 km on her new bike , but my wife and I have never had a break in over 36000 km of riding. That makes me wonder if we are very lucky or is she very unlucky? Please feel free to share your chain mileage and breakage stories here.

    2019 Samedi Race 4 first impressions

    This bike was not my first choice. I wanted a Norco Sight VLT but I also wanted a Gen 2 or 3 Bosch motor and the powerpack 500 battery system. Norco uses Shimano so that was a non-starter. I also wanted a Moustache Samedi Xroad 5 FS. The 2020 s use the powertube which are not compatible with my...

I find myself choosing to ride down the middle of roads that used to be scary busy instead of cycling past the many...
