Hell fucking yes. I don’t care if their latest album is poppy. I love these guys.

They have a vevo channel? There’s three videos.

Fierce gear for the road cyclist constantly competing with cars. Canedo Studio has designed a bike helmet inspired by Gladiator, combining ventilation and head and eye protection with the ferociousness of a warrior. Fuckin’ a. The “Gladiat8r concept.”

A warrior needs a sword. It’s tough to carry around a lance on a bicycle, and these handlebar plugs fill the void.

Designed by Matt Braun and Jared Delorenzo of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, these are helpful for getting back at those asshats who think driving within a foot of a cyclist is a good idea.

It doesn’t help I crave speed. It doesn’t help I love black and gold color schemes. It doesn’t help they are less than 200$ and my size in Rollerblade Women’s. These Rollerblade 2007 Marathon Carbons are the type of skates I dream about owning. This model was ~300$ when I first saw them two years ago.

I merely dabble in speed skating, nothing compared to the real deals. I have a set of Salomons that have 84mm wheels, and it’s a stretch for me to use them with the state my ankles and right leg are currently. In order to use speed skates (skates with wheels larger than a 84mm diameter), the boot height becomes shorter to allow a deeper knee bend. The lack of support stresses the stabilizing muscles of the legs.

Looking at a skater’s leg, he will not only have well-developed calves with a sweet muscle swell, he will also have the finer, lesser talked of muscles making an appearance. They only really show when flexing or doing a cardio workout — they disappear from the skin under normal circumstances unless the person has no body fat. These muscles are important to have in control when using bigger wheels.

The frames are set wider (maybe “longer” is better — the distance from heel wheel to toe wheel) to accommodate the wheel size. It’s a huge adjustment to go from 80mm wheeled frames to 84mm. The way the weight has to be balanced on the foot becomes much different. When I first moved to my Salomons, I had excruciating shin splints. I even made a piece about it in ceramics one. The two week adjustment period came and went, and it dawned on me that my stance and weight dispersion needed to change. Pushing with 76-80mms involves a diagonal motion in the middle of the foot. My arches were dying in the Salomons with this movement. The key is the push is a solid one with the entirety of the foot, not just one part. Once I changed that, the pain dissipated. I also became aware of how I changed my turning strategy. The wider frames thwart sharp turns, so prepare for a wider turning radius. It’s a drawback, but the increase in speed makes up for the loss of dexterity.

Those of you with a need for speed and 250 dollars to blow, remember to change the way you put your weight in your push or else you will be walking with a limp. I’ll be working on my stabilizers so I can skate without tripping again. Those were the days.

Need to work on your leg stabilizers, too? Do throwing exercises! Line jumping to be exact. Side to sides, front to backs, single and double foot. Be sure to warm up your legs and stretch, especially if you have knee and ankle problems. Theme music is optional.
