RedWhite is an anomaly in the cycling clothing industry - they only focus on bibshorts. Specifically, endurance bibshorts. The bibshorts are designed with long rides of 4 to 5 hours or more in mind. RedWhite was started in 2014 by two men based in Singapore so it took them awhile to develop a women's short,... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Dotout
I first came to know Dotout at Interbike in Las Vegas. I had seen their Instagram but there is no denying that touching a fabric is far superior to staring at a screen wondering if it would look right on you. Dotout is a fairly new brand on the market, coming out of Italy. They... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Arrueda
I love this jersey. Like ham and pineapple on pizza, you either love it or you hate it. I bought it straight away, and was impressed with the quality and comfort and now I love it even more. Arrueda is a Spanish company started in 2014 making custom cycling kit, and now sells designs to... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Velocio Light Long Sleeve Jersey & Signature Fly Bib Knickers

So thanks to sites like these for being excellent resources. This story developed because CyclingTips is now selling Machines for Freedom in their Emporium. A Southern California...

Sockturday: Oxeego
Oxeego Sport Socks is out of Italy so you can already guess that the fit and feel will be of excellent quality. They think about the sock as a tool for an athlete, and consider more aspects of its function and form than most sock companies. Carlo was very kind to take some time out... Continue Reading →
Liv Cycling: Doin’ it Right
Liv is branching away from it's parent company, Giant Bicycles, with their first launch of a complete line of bikes and full line of clothing, accessories and gear. I have to admit I am impressed with their clothing options. If you follow their Instagram, you'll see they are seriously killing it with design and color.... Continue Reading →
