LAZER HELMET RECALL<\/a><\/h2>\n

Carolyne Whelan | dirtragmag.com<\/h3>\n


\nDo you wear a Lazer helmet? Check your head.<\/p>\n

Lazer, a Belgian helmet company owned by Shimano, has issued a recall for its Blade, Magma, Elle and Jade bicycle helmets sold since January 2015. Helmets typically have a wear-life of 4-5 years, not including the one-crash rule, so if you bought your helmet during the earlier part of this recall window, you are likely due for a new one anyway. …<\/p>\n

Last Ride of Summer<\/a><\/h2>\n

Mick McCrary | www.strava.com<\/h3>\n

Zone 1, mostly easy, conversational pace, on a very warm day. High was 91 and tomorrow, Houston is supposed to be getting its first cold front. This was the third and longest ride yet on the Speedvagen. After 2 rides last week, I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sure what to think. Yesterday, I got the fit dialed in and today, the bike felt fantastic. Surprisingly, I ran higher tire pressure (120 versus 90) today compared to last week.
