Bianchi has released the details on the new 2026 Infinito, and honestly? We’re completely sold. This isn’t just a minor geometry tweak or a fresh coat of Celeste paint. Bianchi has fundamentally redesigned its legendary endurance platform from the ground up, successfully blending the razor-sharp performance of a premium road bike with legitimate gravel capability. The result is an absolute masterpiece. Dare we say it, a synthwave masterpiece too. Yeah, this thing listens to Gunship. The 40mm Clearance We Have Been Waiting For For years, we’ve had to choose between the aggressive, responsive handling of an Italian road bike and…

We built a miniature world to cover the one we love. From the steepest alpine passes to the deepest cyclocross mud, we’re putting the entire racing world under the microscope. Welcome to Cyclry. No detail too small.
Just days after confirming she would skip the opening weekend, defending champion Lotte Claes has been unexpectedly re-added to the Fenix-Premier Tech roster for Saturday’s race. That makes a lotte cl-. A lotte sense? A lotte claense? Well, anyway. We’re glad she’s back in. The original plan was for Claes to bypass the cobbles and focus on the Ardennes Classics, which better suit her as an explosive climber. Claes had even given interviews expressing her acceptance of the decision, admitting, “In a way, I do find it a shame… I probably will never get the chance to start with race…
In the golden age of cycling, you knew your saddle was uncomfortable because it hurt. They didn’t call it riding on the rivet for nothing. And, unless your cheeks and perineum were completely numb to all sensation, you could probably adjust it yourself. Just tilt and slide your saddle until sitting on it didn’t make you grimace. But in 2026, relying on analogue gooch feedback is like listening to cassette tape. To truly understand your discomfort, you need a heatmap, 62 individual pressure sensors, and a dedicated app. Prologo has unveiled its updated Pressure Map MyOwn system, a cover that…
If you listen to the marketing departments, AI is currently making you more productive, letting you create a million dollar ad in 15 seconds, and undressing every woman on the internet. Actually, the last one might not have been marketing. Regardless, in the cycling world, the AI tech is real. Vekta, the AI-powered training and coaching platform for endurance sport, has already proven to be a useful enough tech that it’s forced the biggest teams in the world to open their wallets. And its presence at the highest level of professional cycling is accelerating, with multiple WorldTour and elite development…
Just when you thought the cycling industry had reached peak electronic integration with wireless derailleurs and Bluetooth tire pressure sensors, the engineers at Shimano have decided to target the final frontier of fat guy manual labor: reaching down to tie your shoes. Or twist your shoe dials, we suppose. Whatever, it’s another fucking battery to charge isn’t it. The Japanese component giant filed a new patent that betrayed the fact that it’s exploring motorized, self-tightening cycling shoes. The concept replaces standard mechanical closures with a motorized lacing system that automatically adjusts on the fly based on a frankly terrifying array…

Running the media center. Climbing that big hill up from Lake Mead. Shaking hands. Getting in a fight with a guy three times our size in Harrah’s. What an era that was.

Now here’s how you write a press release. Really makes me feel like the brand wants to fuck me. Little bit coy, little bit horny. BlackHeart Bike, a company we don’t really know, has updated its dealer program. This new setup offers independent bike shops better margins, no minimums, exclusive territory, and co-marketing support to strengthen community-focused retailers. And they knew we wouldn’t write about all that, so they sent a press release that looks like a missed connection. That’s just good content, honestly. Here it is. We’re just going to paste it. We’re going to include some of the…
