Week 3
We had lots of good stuff making it onto The Biking Hub this week and things are really starting to roll. In the coming weeks you’re going to see some new product reviews, more lifestyle-type features, and our regular dose of news from around the ‘net.
Original content
I started the week with a brief review of the Race Face Garda gloves. My writeup was followed by a couple of detailed entries by Ashwin that discussed specific strategies for trimming weight from your bike. The second part of Greg’s road trip planning series went online Wednesday, and Dan presented five dreamy cross country rides the next day. Today, I humbled myself by talking about some of the worst crashes that I’ve had on a bike.
Elsewhere on the ‘net
TBH-favourite asilvertouch posted up a review of Earthed 3: Europa. If you haven’t had the privilege of watching either of the two previous Earthed installments, check out the trailer for the new video from Alex Rankin — it’s well worth it. And, speaking of mountain bike flicks, the trailer for Roam — the new video from the team that brought you The Collective — is now online and available for your viewing pleasure. Last, but not least is the sneak peek for Back In The Saddle 3. Elsewhere, Continental Tires and Shimano have joined up with Kona to support the Bike Town Africa project. BikeMagic posted a review of the Specialized WindJacket Pro. The boys over at Blue Collar Mtb. found a great article discussing a 19th century bike suspension platform. There’s a good interview with Scot Nicol from Ibis Bikes on Shut Up and Drink the Kool-Aid. Flash games by Ferry Halim.
And following up on last week’s end-of-the-world indicators comes news that the future of Kentucky bourbon is threatened by climate change. Oh, that, and personal fave Erik Morales was knocked out in the tenth round by Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.

I’ve been very impressed with The Biking Hub’s content thus far. You guys really have your act together. Do you all have day jobs?
