T
here’s a certain infamous former pro cyclist from Texas who
is known for (among other things) writing a book entitled “It’s
Not About the Bike.” But like so many other things this yellow-
wearing racer has said over the years, it simply isn’t true.
Sometimes it very much IS all about the bike. Plus the wheels, and
the tires, and the apparel and the brakes and everything else that
goes with cycling. Cycling means a lot of different things to a lot of
different people—exercise, adventure, freedom, transportation—but
it can also be a great excuse to drool over the latest gadgets, gizmos,
widgets and wonders.
In this issue we’re covering the gear that gets us there, focusing
on brands, products and people behind the latest goodies on the
bike shop shelves. We started with six drivetrains you didn’t know
existed, unpack the details of how bo om brackets work and hear
the behind-the-scenes stories of how bike models get their names.
Along the way we stopped in Colorado, where we visited the
shop of Bedrock Bikepacking Bags, a tiny, homegrown brand that
is threading its own path through the increasingly crowded co age
industry of rackless bags. Check it out on page 26.
Then we visited Arkansas, where some longtime bike industry
innovators are bringing high-end bicycle manufacturing back to
the United States. Their aim is to offer competitive pricing, original
product design and world-beating performance. Get the scoop on
the new brand, HIA Velo, starting on page 38.
In Portland, Oregon, the wooden bikes built by Renovo might
seem Old-World, but they are as high-tech as anything coming out
a modern factory. A er all, company founder Ken Wheeler got his
start in wood composite engineering while designing airplanes. Our
photographer takes you there in our latest installment of the Made
series, starting on page 34.
Finally, we expanded our product reviews in this issue with a full 17
pages of the latest and greatest, as tested in the real world by the edi-
tors of Bicycle Times. Be sure you take a look before you buy, starting
on page 44.
Even if you have no plans to do any shopping in 2017, you can still
enjoy our stories of the human input that turns ideas into item. So
don’t be a dope. Enjoy our Gear Issue.
