Electric bikes have flipped the script on how we think about cycling. But like anything with tech under the hood, they’re not invincible. From battery hiccups to display glitches, e-bikes come with their own set of quirks. The good news? Most of them are fixable, without needing an engineering degree. We prepared a guide to
As battery technology keeps improving and more people look for smarter, greener ways to move around, electric bikes are having a serious moment. We’re well past the early days of e-bikes being quirky gadgets for hobbyists. In 2025, they’re practical, powerful, and, most importantly for some riders, capable of going really far on a single
The buzz around mountain biking in 2025 is louder than ever. And no surprise, the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup has become the place to see the sport at its peak. The good news? You don’t need to book a flight to Val di Sole or stand elbow-to-elbow with fans in Loudenvielle to catch the
Folding mountain bikes have quietly carved out a space in the cycling world that few predicted. Not long ago, the idea of taking a trail-ready mountain bike, folding it in half, and carrying it onto a train sounded like something out of a design sketchbook. But 2025 is showing us just how real and useful
Bike theft is a real threat, especially in cities where cycling is on the rise. And the stats back that up: according to BicycleHobbyist, only about 5% of stolen bikes ever find their way back to their owners. Even more concerning? A growing number of thefts are happening in broad daylight—outside gyms, coffee shops, even
There’s a certain freedom in rolling past a line of cars on your way to work, wind in your face, legs pedaling—but not burning—because your e-bike is doing part of the work. For a growing number of commuters, electric bikes aren’t just a trendy alternative to driving—they’re a smart, sustainable way to move through daily
There’s no way around it—cycling in 2025 is fully entrenched in the tech age. You’ve got your GPS head unit, maybe a smart trainer at home, a heart rate strap, a power meter on your cranks, and most importantly, a phone packed with apps that (hopefully) make you faster, stronger, and more motivated. But let’s
So, you’ve got the bug. Maybe you’ve watched a high-speed crit on YouTube, caught a local race in your city, or found yourself sprinting past stop signs just for the rush. Whatever lit the fuse, welcome—criterium racing (or “crit racing,” as most call it) is one of the most exciting, beginner-friendly ways to get into
Arkansas Highway 23 may only stretch 19 miles between the Mulberry River bridge and tiny Brashears, yet riders speak of it with the kind of reverence usually reserved for alpine passes. Steep pitches, hair‑pin corners, and forested corridors that feel like green tunnels combine for a ride that’s equal parts workout and postcard. Throw in
Let’s talk bike sizes. Not the flashiest topic, I know—but if you’ve ever ridden a frame too big or too small, you know how important this is. I’ve been riding since I was a kid bombing hills on a beat-up mountain bike, and after years of road races, gravel grinds, and urban commuting, I’ve learned one thing:
