We met Schwinn at PressCamp 14 too and these days they’re all about making bikes accessible and fun. During the meeting and photoshoot, Carlton Reid’s (Bike Biz Editor) bombed by us on a TT bike…how nice we thought.

Just trying to get a shot and photobombed by a TT bike

Fun with Scwhinn and they’re now offering a Dutch style bike

I was along for the Obliteride and joined the leaders on the second day. Had to hit it hard to catch up to them and then rode along with another group to the finish. Huggacast 155 is a glimpse at the weekend that was as much about the experience as kicking cancer’s ass. Watch now on YouTube or download the video file.

Obliteride is a local story: from the routes, people, and monies raised for the Hutch. The orange is also not yellow. The focus on the experience was appreciated by all the riders we talked to and rode with; especially, the Franti concert I captured with Glass.

Magnic Lights are a Kickstarter project my friend Matt help fund. He was skeptical, but thought if they were real, they’d be amazing. He hates having USB dongles or batteries everywhere and too lazy to get a dyno hub wheel. A year later, the Magnics show up at his house and he unboxed them in a hangout with me. Then he recorded them working with his iPhone. That they work amazed us both and anyone who’s seen them.

Besides the magic of magnets, an eddy current is being created from the small amount of ferrous metal in the aluminum rim. LEDs require such low voltage that they light up. Remarkable and similar to Reelights. I’ve got several Knog lights on my bikes and all of them have a USB dongle. They’re nice, but to just ride and go forever without a chart using magnets is nicer. Magnic lights cost $257.29 for a complete set.
