By Stephen Regenold “If your toddler can walk, your toddler can ride.” That’s a tag line from Strider Sports International, a Rapid City, South Dakota, company, and maker of its namesake Strider “scoot bike” for small kids. The point with the product, which is a scooter…
Swi of gear, I finally bought my first road bike since I was a kid: a nice carbon-fiber Specialized that is kind to my back. What I need is some advice on a good set of wheels to replace the original Alex wheels. My budget is around $500. What do you think of Neuvation M28 Aeros or Ksyrium Elites? Ideally they would be available at Performance as I have some points to burn. Tim Mountain View, California

By Stephen Regenold The car headlights were surging up from behind. I was on my bike, and it was 10pm in the city. I glanced down and back toward my rear wheel, the pulse of my seatpost-mounted light a reassuring red glow on the road.
