Riding With Kids
How can you keep pedaling with young ones in tow? And how do you introduce your little riders to the sport? Some advice and inspiration from those who've done it.
Wallhangers
The winner of the Dirt Rag Literature Contest is the tale of Dermott McDougal and his two old bikes hung up as dusty decorations on a shop wall.
Readings: Gambling With Bike Parts
The author tells Dirt Rag how he hand-crafted a slot machine and roulette wheel from recycled bicycle parts.
Felt Virtue Two
The design of the rear suspension does its job of letting the suspension stay active and allows the rear wheel to roll over bumps while climbing.
Salsa Casseroll
The Casseroll is a well-designed road bike for folks who don't wax their calves and salivate at fantasies of winning the local crit, but who don't want a sluggish cruiser either.
Misfit Psycles diSSent
Misfit designed the diSSent 29" singlespeed to feel like a 26"-wheeled bike, only with bigger wheels—and it performed as advertised.
Pacenti 650B
If you've been asking yourself, "How can I rationalize buying yet another bike?", along comes Kirk Pacenti with your answer—650B.
