Fashion crimes

If the sponsor’s shoe fits…?
February 7, 2014
Now here’s something to open a can of carbon worms. Whereas his new UCI WoldTour team Lampre-Merida is sponsored by Sidi, when it comes to shoes it seems reigning World Road Champion Rui Costa prefers wearing Bont. To solve the impasse his team has him rather ingeniously – or despicably depending on who you ask – … More If the sponsor’s shoe fits…?
Pedal Power
January 28, 2014
I use Shimano pedals. No particular reason other than that’s what my first road bike came with, and inertia is a powerful force.

Cap in hand
December 10, 2013
I’ve tried. I really have. But despite having accumulated quite a collection of the things, I just can’t get into the whole cycling cap scene. I understand the tradition behind it. But nowadays, when we all wear helmets, I’m struggling to understand the practicalities. Not sure about you, but I don’t find them at all … More Cap in hand
Space age skin suit
