Cycling

Everything on my bike, in my saddlebag, and on me, plus the picks from my free cycling guides. Every card opens the store in a new tab.

The bike

Computer, radar, mount, light, and power pedals.

  • Garmin · Bike computer

    Edge 840

    Touchscreen and buttons, long battery life, and navigation I trust on every ride.

  • Garmin · Radar light

    Varia RearVue 820

    Rear radar and tail light.

  • Frames & Gear · Mount

    Computer mount + Insta360 attachment

    Shared mount that holds the Garmin Edge and Insta360 X6 together out front.

  • RAVEMEN · Front light

    FR500

    Bright enough to be seen in daylight, recharges over USB, and priced for a first setup.

  • Favero · Power pedals

    Assioma Uno

    Power meter pedals: real watts on every ride, and they move between bikes in minutes.

Repair kit

The bag, then what goes in it.

  • SILCA · Saddlebag

    Mattone Grande

    Holds the base kit under the saddle, so nothing rides in your pockets.

  • Cycplus · Pump

    Mini Electric Pump

    Small enough to carry, powerful enough to actually trust.

  • Park Tool · Tire levers

    Tire Levers

    Gets the tire off the rim so you can reach the tube or the puncture.

  • Park Tool · Multi-tool

    Mini Multi-Tool with Chain Tool

    Tightens whatever rattles loose. The chain tool fixes a broken chain.

  • Park Tool · Tire boot

    TB-2 Emergency Tire Boots

    Covers a cut in the tire itself, so a new tube doesn’t push through it.

  • Continental · Inner tube

    Spare Inner Tube

    Your way home from almost any flat, tubed or tubeless. Match it to your tire size.

  • Park Tool · Patch kit

    Vulcanizing Patch Kit

    For the second flat, once your spare tube is in.

  • Dynaplug · Tubeless plug tool

    Ultralite

    Plugs most tubeless punctures in seconds, wheel still on the bike.

Tech & training

Cameras for the ride, and the trainer for the days the weather wins.

  • Zwift · Smart bike

    Ride with KICKR CORE 2

    A smart bike frame on a quiet, accurate direct-drive trainer, set up for Zwift.

  • Insta360 · Action camera

    X6

    Mounted just in front of the Garmin Edge on a shared mount from Frames & Gear.

Kit

What I ride in.

  • ABUS · Helmet

    GameChanger 2.0 MIPS

    An aero road helmet that stays cool and comfortable on long rides.

  • Oakley · Sunglasses

    A big lens for full coverage and clear contrast in changing light.
