    Recently I have been wearing arm warmers more and more. I warm up quickly on the mountain bike so the fact that arm warmers pull off quickly helps with layering. Also investing in expensive long sleeve jerseys for a 2 month season isn’t worth it to me. A warm vest and […]

    On One Inbred Single Speed

    Friday, January 4th, 2008

    Normally I would recommend that people purchase a complete bicycle at their local bike shop, but sometimes great online deals are too hard to pass up! Price Point is selling ‘06 On One Inbred single speeds for $649.98!
