The Domestique Critique: La Passione Hexagonal Summer Jersey
Long story long, this past winter I needed an updated pair of ankle length knickers and bought La Passione when they had a sale. It was a great deal and I figured I would Zwift more if they didn't quite fit right for riding IRL. Turns out they were glorious. Stretchy and comfortable, with pro... Continue Reading →

The Domestique Critique: Pink is the New Pink
A shock of color in a comfortable shoe. A color does not have a gender, so I'm ambivalent about people's feelings toward pink. You can vilify it, embrace it, flash it, hide it, wear it as a badge of honor, or reject it completely. I will simply admit that it looks badass as a cycling... Continue Reading →
