Testing a new kind of hardware<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nJames Huang, tech ed, in Boulder, CO, bikeradar.com
\nI’m really hoping my new hardware doesn’t create any issues at the airport! Regularly setting off metal detectors isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a convenient trait for someone who spends a third of the year on the road. Ugh

\nI don’t just ride bikes, I actually collect them as well. I’ll never admit it to my wife, but I am collecting; that means I have certain acquisition goals in mind, and that certain bikes are “keepers” more than others, and that upgrading is always on the table.
