Yes, water is still the best source of hydration out there….but we want to hear what you have to say about portable hydration products.  Whether it’s a product like Nuun or any of the others out there…..what do you have to say about them?

In this short video I ask you to leave your comments on everything about hydration tabs and products….do you use them, what flavor is your favorite, when do you take them, etc.

If you’re interested in Kelli’s home remedy for sports drinks, here’s the link to Making Your Own Sports Drinks.

So let’s hear it, leave your comments….Let’s Talk.

I just witnessed the most amazing sunset and checked off a life goal at the same time.  So I just had to quickly put up a “Let’s Talk” video to share it all.

Have a look and then post your experience of achieving goals (on and off the bike), or sharing a goal you want to see realized and how you’re going to make it happen.

It’s another one of our Let’s Talk features, and my good friend Shawn is in to get you talking about mountain bikes.

Shawn runs the website, www.texasmountainbiketrails.com and in this video he poses an interesting question to all of you….especially if you’re primarily a road cyclist. Oh, and Shawn just happens to be a video graphics master and includes some cool stuff in this one.

You definitely have to check this one out, and then please leave your answer/comment before leaving our website.

Let’s Talk.

Here’s a real basic topic for you…..cycling shorts or bibs?  As with all our “Let’s Talk” posts, we ask you to create the content by leaving your comments, opinions, and tips on anything to do with this topic.

Have a quick watch of the video, or just skip on down to the bottom and leave us your remarks.  I’m looking forward to what you all have to say on this one.

This is your chance to share your percent grade cycling stories and comments with us.  This is a bonus, “Let’s Talk“, post but I’m posting this now because I really wanted to find out more about your hill climbing and the percent grade of the hills around the areas you cycle.

Have a look at a couple of the climbs I have outside my front door, and then give us yours in the comments section below:

We all love cycling, right?  But how much do we really need to know about our sport and industry?  As part of our regular “Let’s Talk” feature, we’re asking you to provide feedback on how much you feel a cyclist really needs to know including your thoughts on pro cycling, technology, and anything else related to the bike.

Watch the short video below where I share my thoughts on the subject, or just skip on down to the comments and let us know what you think.

Let’s Talk.

Yes, this site is called Loving the Bike and I know we all love cycling very much.  But for this month’s Let’s Talk feature, we want you to tell us about other fun and adventurous activities that you love as well. Maybe there aren’t any others, and that’s cool as well.  But we want you to add in your response in the comments section below.

Have a look at this quick video I shot on the weekend while taking part in a little sailing regatta here in Grenada.  Being on the water is one thing I definitely love, and going out in a big sailboat like that is something I’ve always wanted to do.

Now it’s your turn, tell us all about it.  Let’s Talk.

This month we’re asking you to join our discussion about your Fantasy Bike Ride.  We want you to help build this post up by commenting about a ride you wish you could take…but it has to be something that isn’t generally an option.  We want you to get creative and tell us about a location or route you wish you were able to take your bike on, and why.

Have a look at this video I filmed in Las Vegas last month to get you started…or jump right on down to the comments section and start laying it all out.  Let’s have some fun….Let’s Talk.

It’s unfortunate, but there are a lot of people who have a fear of riding a bike.  This generally applies to road riding, but no matter what kind of riding you do….this post is here to fill you with suggestions on how to overcome this fear.

As with all editions of our “Let’s Talk” series, this post is all about you and the content will come from your tips, suggestions, and comments.  Don’t be shy…speak up and help others out by providing ways to ride a bike without fear.  If you have a question about the fear associated with riding a bike, please add that to the comments as well so that it can be addressed.

Remember, you deserve to be out there….so let’s make it happen.

We want to hear what you have to say about the Recovery Ride.  As with each of our “Let’s Talk” posts, this one will be built up by you and your comments.

Tell us your thoughts on the Recovery Ride and what you have to suggest to other riders.  Maybe you have some questions about how to best fit a recovery ride into your cycling schedule, so post that in the comments as well so it can be addresses.

Watch this quick video to get you going, or jump on down to the comments section and give us all you’ve got on the subject of Recovery Rides.
