“There is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing” – as the saying goes, and he is right. And basically this does not only apply to the clothing: There are all kinds of really useful cycling accessories that can make your life easier in all conditions and ensure that you always have maximum fun on the bike. Whether commuting on the way to work, on the fast road bike lap or on a day-long bikepacking adventure. Conversely, this also means that there is nothing worse than poorly thought-out or unstable accessories. We present here from time to time practical accessories for cyclists and publish – when we got the chance – own tests, for which we have pre-selected material properly felt on the tooth. The issue of sustainability always plays an important role for us.

What you can’t deny Maxxis is a lot of experience in tire construction. And that’s why I was very excited to be able to take a close look at two gravel tires from the Taiwanese company: Here is my Maxxis Rambler vs. Maxxis Reaver test.
In our Tern NBD test, we want to find out how the compact urban e-bike performs in everyday use. Especially for this test, we organized a riding safety workshop for older people or “newcomers”, where participants could try out four Tern NBD test bikes for a month.

Some products are so simple that you ask yourself: Why didn’t someone think of this 20 years ago? The Win Wings from Ass-Savers are one such product.
