Father's Day, Gifts!

Every year, new stuff comes out, this never changes. Technology get faster, more expensive, gear gets lighter, and more colorful.

Gear Patrol does a great job at finding all these. For Fathers day, they put a list together that is quite reasonable.

Ibex Pulse Short
For $68 this is a great deal and a piece of equipment that will last well beyond the sneakers he got last week. They have a merino wool liner that is bacteria resistant, breathable and moisture wicking.

Cheers

Redshift Sports, Game Changer! One Bike, Two Options. Tri/Road


This is amazing, one bike, two options. Tri bike then a road. All of us have had two bike and train on the road bike and race on the tri bike. Now you can do both.
Redshift Sports was founded in 2013 with the goal of making components that help cyclists and triathletes go faster on the bikes they already own.  We are a small group of mechanical engineers who happen to be avid (if somewhat average) cyclists and triathletes.
Prior to founding Redshift Sports, Stephen, Erik, and Scott managed (and still manage) Ripple Design LLC, an engineering consulting and product design firm in Philadelphia.  We work on a wide range of products, from medical devices to large-scale landmine clearance equipment.  We drew on this extensive design, prototyping and manufacturing experience to bring the Switch Aero System to market.
