kgsbikes — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 10:51:22 +0000

The 2010 Winter Olympics are happening and yesterday I saw Apolo Anton Ohno capture a silver medal which puts him in some pretty good company with Bonnie Blair and Eric Heiden. You might ask, “What does ice skating have to do with bicycling?” Well, it is not so much ice skating, but skating in general. [...]

KGS Bikes – What a global cycling community means

I am reaching out to cycling friends around the world.

kgsbikes — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 22:48:12 +0000

If you could have anything designed for your new dream bike, what would you choose? I just got an email inquiry from Brazil today and wanted to share the concept of how I help people that live halfway across the world. The first part of our conversation revolved around fitting, of course. I prefer to [...]

What is the best bike for you?

kgsbikes — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 18:50:21 +0000

I have people contact me from all over the world asking the same question, “What do you recommend as the best bike for me?” It is a very interesting question and one that I think about constantly. Since I provide a rather limited selection of equipment to clients I wonder what is important to people. [...]

What a saddle adjustment can do to a 70.3 time!

kgsbikes — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 18:24:31 +0000

I had an emergency call from my friends Mark and Julie Crosno last week as something had changed on her bike setup. I cleared my calendar and drove to Houston the next day as Julie was distraught, this close to the Ironman 70.3 Worlds in Clearwater. I wrote about this in the Ezine last week. [...]

Find your own Tri bike setup like a pro

KGS Bikes – Buddy Can you Spare Some Change, or Why Triathletes Resist

This is a fascinating phenomenon and I believe I can understand why. Triathlon is an endurance sport and as such, repetitive strain [...]
