(Continued) To understand the third option, visualize a small CamelBak which is mounted on your waist, not your back, and you have the CamelBak FlashFlo. Being an avid fan of CamelBak’s for my riding, I was instantly sold on this waist mounted option for running. Water remains ice cold for the duration of your run. The drinking tube is unusually long, and hooks to the waist strap. When thirsty, you just unhook it, take your sip, then rehook it to your pack. I do find that I need to cinch the pack up quite tightly, in order to minimize pack bounce.
Our last option for drinking/food replacement while running is the fuel belt. This is a belt which holds assorted containers for your food, gel, fluid, etc. These are extremely popular, judging by the number I see worn in the weeks leading up to local marathons. However, they probably are not as important until your runs begin to exceed one hour in length. The FuelBelt Hydration Belt and Nathan Speed Belt hold anywhere from 2-4 containers. The Nathan Booster Belt can hold your race number AND clip on flasks are available separately. Bicycle Garage Indy has a full line of Hydration accessories from CamelBak, Nathan and FuelBelt for cross training, running, triathlons and adventure racing.

We are experiencing one of the hottest and most humid summers in recent memory. Proper fluid hydration during exercise is particularly important this summer (How much do you need to drink:
Whatever product works best for you, just be sure that you keep drinking on these lovely, hot and oh so humid days.
Sally, Jill, Tom, Dno, Fred and I went to Versailles and rode the Dino course. Hooked up with Guy (VSP trailbuilder) Scotty (riding animal) and Tim (from Cinci) and Dave (webmaster from England-Idlewild) on the trails. Scott and Sally were still hungry for more, so they bid us adieu and we headed home. Scotty logged 75 miles before dusk, and Sally rode all night. She's training for this fall's World MTB Endurance Championships in Australia (the motive force behind Team HalfWheelers!), and came prepared with her night-riding lights. She said she had to put on arm-warmers by 4am, and that the sunrise was beautiful.
I just wanted you to know that you have some of the finest staff in the cycling industry at your (Bicycle Garage Indy) store in Castleton. Sure, it is exciting (and profitable) working with the folks buying the high end bikes, but Danielle Duning took the time to work with my son (Everest is seven) who was having such a tough time learning to ride without training wheels. She went the extra mile...and then some. Finally, she printed off instructions about removing the pedals, lowering the seat and learning to balance. She said he would learn to ride in about an hour... and wouldn't you know it, he did! And to add icing to the cake, his five year old brother Ethan learned to ride the very next day! I have included a YouTube link (
What to do when you are a couple who wants to bike together, but one of you is so much stronger than the other? We have seen this scenario play out so many times. The stronger spouse is holding back, putting the brakes on their speed and fun. And the slower spouse is busting a gut – struggling to hold a pace that is much too fast. The ride is frustrating and not much fun for either person. After a few more attempts, the slower spouse usually gives up, leaving only the faster one to continue with the sport of bicycling. This is where a tandem bicycle comes in handy. A tandem is the great equalizer – allowing couples with greatly varying abilities to ride together seamlessly.
Tandems have come a long way from the single speed resort bikes you rode as a kid. The 

What should be in a seat bag is a question we hear a lot. And the basics needs are quite simple; fix a flat or tighten or adjust anything on your bike. A seat bag can also be the place for things that might go in a clothing pocket; Snacks, ID, Keys, Cell phone and money. The list below takes care of the needs for most day riders. 

While Project 1 allows thousands of combinations, we have an idea that Abby's bike will inspire a few copies.

Now I am a rarity, a road rider who uses a CamelBak. I know a CamelBak on road bike just yells FRED, but hear me out. I was first introduced to them while riding in Washington State. Off-road riders are constantly in mud, so CamelBaks were used for both for hands-free drinking, and reasonable clean access to water. A lot of the off-road riders would train on the road, so they kept the CamelBak habit. I am on a tandem a lot, so hands free is nice for that. Finally, our kids were tandeming with at a very early age, and a strapped on pack let them drink without playing the "drop-the-water-bottle" game. So our work-out storage includes hooks for four hydration packs and extra's.
I am completely at home taking care of the different types of bicycle brakes I have used over the years; side pulls, center pulls, cantilevers and linear-pull/V-brakes. I have had them on the bikes I have owned, assembled and maintained. But disc brakes are a completely new animal for me. I don’t own a disc-equipped bike (yet, of course!), and they only came into wide-spread use after my days as a full-time mechanic. However, I had a unique opportunity to learn more about Hydraulic Disc brakes when Josh Prater, one of the service leads for Bicycle Garage Indy, scheduled a training session for
