Bike Gear I Love
Some girls like jewelry and shoes, my vices are bikes and bike apparel.
Like most people, though, my gear closet is constantly evolving as I find new favorites and upgrade old items. On this page, you can find my current favorite pieces of biking gear that have proved themselves out on the road or trail.
