My two cents..... When Julie had shoulder issues and could not ride outside I got her a Tacx Vortex smart trainer. We coupled it with Zwift. Here are the pluses as I see it: 1. You get to ride your

Hey Mike Good to hear from you. I just bought and am using my new indoor Keiser.com bike. It’s $2,000 and received it in four days. You have an option of using other software like Zwift etc for

Hi everybody! As we are fond of saying in Reno, winter is coming. (That’s pretty catchy!). I am still trying to get back in shape after last year’s calamity so I am considering buying an

Mike et al, that giant pothole has been there for months. I reported it to the Public Works dept, but they appear to have higher priorities than protecting the welfare of cyclists, so we must all
