Wout van Aert to race Milan-San Remo on 1x drivetrain

Wout van Aert to race Milan-San Remo on 1x drivetrain

Wout van Aert will race the 2023 Milan–San Remo with a 1x SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset.

While the opening Monument of the season is played out over nearly 300km, Milan–San Remo is generally a very fast race, with the sharp end of the peloton averaging 45.4km/h in the 2022 edition.

Why is van Aert using a 1x drivetrain? Well, let’s take a look at the 2020 Milan–San Remo winner’s setup – and some of the potential advantages that might have led to the decision.

In pictures posted to his Instagram account, Van Aert reveals he will race on a Cervélo S5, but will forgo his typical 2x setup in favour of a 1x SRAM Red eTap AXS electronic groupset.

Himiway’s New E-Bike Lineup Has Something for Everyone’s Urban Needs: I Want the Pony

Himiway’s New E-Bike Lineup Has Something for Everyone’s Urban Needs: I Want the Pony
Folks, you may have heard of Himiway before. After all, we’ve covered some of their gear already and are even testing their machines. Well, this time around, they’ve unleashed three electrified beasts tuned based on terrain, capabilities, and budget. With this in mind, let’s explore these three trinkets and see what’s in store.

Pony

First up on this list is the Himiway Pony, a $500 (€460 at current exchange rates) electrified option to help you get around town, and that’s it. As you can see, it’s the sort of bicycle that could fit in the proverbial pocket, and that’s precisely what Himiway was shooting for. Heck, the wheelbase sits at a tiny 29.1 in (74 cm) while the top tube is only 12 in (30.5 cm) long. In short, the forward tilt of the steering wheel is absolutely necessary to help you sit in a proper position.

Now, here’s where

BMX, breakdancing, basketball (and more!):360 ALLSTARS is coming to Canberra

Posted on

It’s a show that speaks to every generation. Traversing age, language and gender, 360 ALLSTARS has taken its revolutionary urban circus around the world—now it’s making its official Canberra debut at Canberra Theatre Centre.

From 4–8 April, the theatre will come to life with BMX, breakdancing, rap and drumming, showcasing diverse artforms that were born in the streets and mastered at the hands of these elite performers.

While each discipline is unique and the embodiment of ‘cool’, 360 ALLSTARS creates a harmonious, supercharged circus production. As the wheels of the BMXs spin in an almost balletic way, so too does a break-dancer whose head spin defies the laws of gravity. Themes of circularity and rotation continue to connect each artform, guiding audiences forward and, at times, forcing them into an unexpected 360.

For creator and ALLSTAR drummer Gene Peterson, it’s here that the production finds

Juiced drops prices on its highest-power electric bikes amid battle

Juiced drops prices on its highest-power electric bikes amid battle

After a costly and time-consuming legal battle to secure the trademarks for its most powerful HyperScorpion and HyperScrambler 2 e-bikes, Juiced Bikes has decided to discontinue the current model lines. As part of that closeout, the company has put its existing inventory on closeout sale.

Juiced Bikes is one of the oldest and most established electric bicycle brands in the US.

I remember scrolling through their site in college back in 2011, and by then the company had already been in operation for a few years. So if like me, you remember the OG Juiced even back before the company’s name change, then you’ll know that Juiced has never just followed trends; it sets them.

That was the case with Juiced Scorpion e-bike launched in The Before Times back in 2019, and it was the case with the high-power, 28+ mph HyperScorpion and HyperScrambler 2 e-bikes that followed.

But after
