Barry Roubaix Recap

We follow up on our intro to gravel racing with a short video, recap, and race report from the 2014 Barry Roubaix Killer Gravel Road Race. We talk tires, gearing, and more.

Run shoes in 5 years

In the series wrap I’ll predict what run shoes will be like in 5 years, features that will advance and recede, and possible changes in the trajectory of several leading companies.

An English piece of art

Rob English did not exhibit at the 2014 Handmade Bicycle Show but we spotted this beautiful crafted bicycle of his in the Campagnolo booth and snagged it for detailed pics.
