Hey Lee, I hope you don’t mind I’m emailing you. I am reading your Mastering Mountain Bike Skills book and just had a quick question. It’s actually quite simple and maybe a bit silly. Do you actually pedal in the Attack Position? Or is the attack position used when you are off the gas so […]

The Bicycle Trailer to Meet EVERY families needs!

Now in stock at Down Cycles!

The Weehoo iGo is a revolutionary new approach in the design of children’s bicycle trailers. While there are a multitude of options for bringing your child along for a ride, none offer the same flexibility as the Weehoo iGo Trailer.

Traditional bicycle seats, while secure, limit the child’s movement and involvement with their parent, and with riding. Not to mention all regular seats on the market today have an upper size and weight restriction that limits most riders over 5 from fitting properly.

Tag-a-long style trailers attempt to solve the size, weight and involvement problem by freeing the child from restraints and placing them (almost) on their own bike that mom or dad can pull along. The drawback? Kid’s rarely will want to stay focused long enough for you to enjoy the length ride you had originally planned, and once they start getting tired…that’s it, time to go home.

Canopy style trailers solve the weight, size and exhaustion issue by providing a secure seat for the child to ride in. But unfortunately, it’s usually quite tough for the rider to keep an eye on their kid(s) inside and obviously, the child is almost completely detached from the experience of riding.

The Weehoo iGo Trailer solve ALL of these problems. By placing the child in a secure recumbent cycle, they can be properly secured so if they do get tired and fall asleep (or aren’t quite old enough yet to really want to participate in pedaling) the rider has no worries about them falling off. For those children that want to participate, the Weehoo iGo trailers accommodates riders from 2-9 years old and places them in a great position for viewing everything the ride has to offer.

The Weehoo iGo Trailer is truly the single best product on the market today for parents that want to take their younger riders along for a ride.

In Bike for Texas (and other) trails?, Scott asked about switching from a Stumpy 29 to a Camber 29 for the rocky trails in Austin, TX. I told him I enjoyed the Camber on his terrain, and that he should give one a try. Well, he did. Lee, Test rode a Medium Camber 29 this […]

Hi Lee—since reading your skills book I’ve been working on my pedal stroke on my commute. I’m in Chicago and I’m thinking of switching my single-speed to a fixed gear for more control in snow and ice. Any advice on how this will affect pedal stroke or what to focus on? Would using foot retention […]

Dang, just when I was about to get “29” tattooed on my chest, in came a set of high-end SRAM carbon 26er trail wheels. Never has my Stumpy felt so alive. Technical details SRAM ran what appears to be a sweet press camp in France. The cool bike journalists were invited, and they did a […]

The original Specialized Ground Control, designed back in the day by Wilderness Trail Bikes, lived in an era when we rode one mountain bike for all situations, and a good tire was one that worked everywhere. Heck, I don’t think we gave our tires much thought. The new Ground Control appears to share that go-everywhere […]

USA Cycling has announced that the bid application for the 2012 American Mountain Bike Challenge (AMBC) is now available to race directors.

I’m always impressed at how the same basic movement patterns seem to apply to all sports. Two of the most important dynamics for a mountain biker are 1) staying balanced on your feet and 2) driving powerfully from your hips. Those skills are also important in the NFL. Today I had an All Pro linebacker […]

Thank goodness for pump tracks, and double-extra thank goodness for the pump track in my yard. So far this winter, I’ve been trying to mix up base intervals on the trainer and radness intervals on the pump track. That’s when I’m not shoveling snow off the track. Check out this action. It might give you […]
