Il Magistrale Cycling Coffee
Cycling and coffee is a golden combination, Il Magistrale Cycling Coffee agrees. You probably know the brand. With their German fire engine (converted into a coffee truck), they travel through the Netherlands and Belgium to serve coffee at the bigger cycling events. That coffee always tastes excellent, so today we are sharing 2 of our favourite Magistrale [...]
LITTA 2 review: Solar-powered bike light
The LITTA 2 is a durable solar-powered bike light. Attach it to your road or gravel bike and you will always get home well-lit. After only 4 hours, the battery is fully charged, which then lasts up to 20 hours (of which 5 hours of bright light). It is the ideal backup for unexpectedly dark rides: with [...]

Primus Micron Trail gas burner review
I don't think I have ever seen such a light gas burner. The Primus Micron Trail gas burner fits in the palm of my hand and weighs just 90 grams. Despite its small size, it offers everything you're looking for as a bikepacker. Do you want to hit the trail with light packs, but want to carry a gas burner [...]
Schwalbe Aerothan review
At a time when tubeless cycling is becoming increasingly popular, I remain enamoured of the regular inner tube. Especially the Schwalbe Aerothan. Because it has been on my cyclocross bike for 3 years now, without any punctures. I think that is quite an achievement. January 2021. I buy a new cyclo-cross bike and immediately fit new outer tubes. I want the Schwalbe [...]
Rapha handlebar bag review: still a favourite after 3 years of use
I have now been using my Rapha Bar Bag for 3 years, so it's time for a review! A durable, sturdy handlebar bag, in which you can carry enough stuff during a long day on the bike. Can be quickly attached to the handlebars and sticks nicely - without bouncing, even during a gravel ride over bumpy [...]

Castelli Perfetto ROS gloves review
How pleased I am with my Castelli Perfetto ROS gloves this week. I bought them at Mantel last year to take them to the Strade Bianche. There the weather was lovely, so they went back home unused. But with the snow this week, I've been using my Castelli Perfetto gloves a lot [...]
Canyon Grizl AL 7 1by review
A tough gravel bike that is ready for rough work as well as adventure. With a sturdy aluminium frame, the Canyon Grizl is an all-rounder. By now I have quite a few Canyons at home. The only one missing was a gravel bike. I always used my Canyon Inflite, the cyclocrosser, for that. But now [...]
