Sarah MG's Bike: Electra Townie 3

I have become obsessed with a bike Sarah Michelle Gellar has been photographed with recently. Not only is it an urban/cruiser bike, it's hot pink!

Many beach towns have bike shops that rent to tourists, but I give the beautiful (and heavy) cruisers a pass and rent a road bike — at some stores you can arrange a rental for an entire week. Almost as important as packing your cycling shorts (riding with a chamois keeps everyone happy) is to bring your Read more

Bike tires are a complex science unto themselves — I've heard people say, "It's not about the bike; it's about the tires." When it comes to filling your bicycle tires, you need to know about the two kinds of valves out there: the tall and skinny Presta valve and the more utilitarian Schrader valve, which you probably had on your first bike way back when.

Review of Giant's Escape 1 W-2011 Bike

Flipping through the latest issue of Bicycling Magazine, you learn the cyclists suffering through the Tour de France are riding some seriously pricey bikes.
