What We Have Noticed: Oval, Peloton Magazine …
We recently noticed the Oval Aero Cap, the new Peloton cycling magazine, an interesting triathlon pedal prototype, a cool bike shop business card and a long distance relationship t-shirt.
Oval Aero Cap

Peloton magazine

Issue #1 features a lengthy story about the Rapha brand, interviews with Vincenzo Nibali and Heinrich Haussler, all kinds of gear and much, much more.

Triathlon pedals
What: A group of Dartmouth College students got together to develop a triathlon specific pedal and they have done a very nice job so far. The pedal device is meant to allow the triathlete /duathlete to use their running shoes during the bike segment and while it is still a prototype and doesn't even have a name yet, it looks very interesting and appears to be ideal for a race like the recently held Super Sprint Tri GP or any duathlon.

Broke Bike Alley business card
What: Broke Bike Alley is a bike shop in Fernie, BC, Canada and their bike tech Terry Miller has a super nice business card. You'll think of that man and the bike shop every time you reach for the tool, or you may just pull it out and share this card with your friends even if you don't need a tool.
MSRP: n/a

Long Distance Relationship t-shirt
What: Long Distance Relationship might mean one thing to non-athletic folks, but it certainly has a different meaning to endurance athletes who enjoy their relationship with the long distance or have a partner who shares that passion for going long. So wear it proud.
Color: light blue
Sizes: S-3XL
MSRP: $20
