Garmin & Calories

Smoot — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 00:27:41 +0000

Thought this was a great article explaining how the Garmin calorie counter works, and is relevant to cycling!

If you haven’t looked into a Garmin cycling computer, GPS running watch, or Heart Rate Monitor, we have them in stock and will be glad to answer any questions.

Someone else thinks Di2 is great

Avoiding the Bike-Run Bonk

Smoot — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 00:26:12 +0000

Taking in too much nutrition during long-distance triathlons is more common than not taking in enough….really? This article explains how this could be true.

Equipment safety according to the UCI

Smoot — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 00:22:44 +0000

Bicycle Sport would like to thank all of our wheel manufactures for going through the rigorous development and testing process to meet safety standards set by the UCI. When you purchase a Zipp, Enve, Reynolds, Bontrager, Mavic, or Shimano wheel, you are not only buying a great product that will provide many miles of enjoyability, but also reliability and safety. Knowing that a proper team of engineers and designers put you, the rider, first will give you the extra confidence to lean into that corner a bit deeper, or descend your favourite mountain a bit faster. There are quite a few upstart component and frame companies in the bicycle industry that believe making a quick buck importing “C” grade equipment is a good idea. Neither lab tests nor CPSC compliance are required to bring non-branded components into the US market. We do not support this. The brands you find at Bicycle Sport are all tested and approved! Check out the UCI compliance list here.

Thanks again Trek, Zipp, Mavic, Cannondale, Deda, Bontrager, Shimano, Campagnolo, Sram, Pro, Enve Composites, Vittoria, Continental, and Fizik!

De Ronde is coming!

Smoot — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 00:21:43 +0000

Yes, one day away from one of the great monuments in the pro cycling calendar. The Tour of Flanders or De Ronde van Vlaandren is Sunday and the stage is set for quite a battle. Check it out on Cyclingnews.com.

If you really want to get a taste of the cycling life there, buy a ticket to Bruxxles and catch a train to Oudenaarde where the official Ronde Museum is set up.

Here is their website: http://www.crvv.be/en/museum/museum

This place is bursting with cycling history and you can even get a guided tour with cycling legend Fredy Martens. They also have some of the most attractive staff front desk staff in the whole country.

Roubaix Weekend

Smoot — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 00:20:34 +0000

Paris Roubaix is on Sunday. The “Hell of the North” or the “Queen of the Classics”. Everyone wants to win Roubaix. After last weekend, my money is on Fabian. Tornado Tom Boonen looks good, but I think Leopard Trek will do something special.

America celebrates this race with a few Roubaix-style races. Boone Roubaix, Perry Roubaix (in Perry Georgia), and Tour of the BattenKill to name just a few. Riders of all skill levels can test themselves on not-so-ordinary road conditions. Good luck to all competitors!
