ibiking service strava making strides in the right direction.

I’ve always known San Francisco to have a large affinity for bikers.

Bicycle fitting computer for the iPhone

This is kinda neat.  I did not try ‘TestRides‘ (by Wildlab) myself, but I like the idea.   Basically, you take a picture of yourself, select key body points to provide an overall measurement set, and then calculate and display the best bike size for your body.  Sweet!  For people who do not do a lot… Read More
