For some, it may seem like a vacation, but for others, training camps are very serious. For competitive cyclists, or even for those who want to start the season strong, training camps aren’t a game.

One day it's 5°C, and it’s 18°C the next. Spring is the season of unpredictable temperatures and it presents quite a challenge in terms of suiting up for a bike ride.

I do not want to have anything to do with the North… Why?… Because I hate the darn bugs!

"Till April's dead, change not a thread" as they say in Quebec. But when we want to enjoy the outdoors on our bike at that time of year, we must go towards the south, right?

My passion for TT only developed recently even though I have been doing triathlon for several years. The first thing you realize from riding a TT bike is the speed you can reach for the same effort compared to a road bike.

There’s a moment in a cyclist's life when, desiring to push themselves beyond their own limits, a critical choice must be made with respect to switching to clipless pedals.

If you are in the Outaouais region with your bike, I suggest you discover Gatineau Park. Easy to access, the park offers several routes for road, gravel, and mountain biking with different elevation changes. Being closed off to vehicles makes it an excellent place to ride in complete safety.

Let's be honest, I was puzzled by his asymmetrical look myself. I didn't understand the purpose of the suspension until I did my research. And more importantly, before I tested it!

Do we not seek to continually grow and improve in everything we do with our lives? Pushing our limits and getting out of our comfort zone gives us an immense sense of accomplishment that easily becomes addictive.

The Aerobic Corridor is a multi-purpose trail (biking, running, walking and cross-country skiing in the winter) that spans 58 km between Morin-Heights and Amherst. The Aerobic Corridor used to be a railroad, but in the early 1960s the railroad was discontinued, and in 1996 the corridor was finally created.

Electric bikes, known as E-Bikes, are currently at the center of a global revolution in the world of transportation. All over the planet, more and more people are trading their car for an e-bike to commute to work, get their groceries, and transport their kids to kindergarten.

Hybrid bikes take features from road and mountain bikes. They are usually designed with a light frame very similar to road bikes and flat handlebars commonly found on mountain bikes.

Gravel bikes and Cyclocross bikes are quite hard to distinguish: Both bikes share key design elements, including dropped handlebars, wheel diameter, and knobby tires. Although both Gravel and Cyclocross bikes can be used in similar riding conditions, they are optimized for their specific purpose.

Many people find it hard to differentiate triathlon and time trial bikes as they look similar when put side by side. Both these bikes share a lot of traits and have a similar design, including aero bars and a slender frame for aerodynamic efficiency.

Buying a bike might seem like a simple task, but there are plenty of things to consider to zero-in on the perfect bike for you. Different bikes are designed for different purposes and the price should not be the only deciding factor.

For my first bike packing experience, I opted to sleep in a hostel. I would like to do some self-sufficient trips soon, but this time it was simpler and more comfortable but also reassuring - especially since I was missing too much equipment for camping.

In case you haven’t heard of this route, I’m here to help you understand the reality of the trip. Do not be fooled by the ‘butter tart’ name and think it’s all about sweet treats and easy riding. The BT 700 is a serious adventure and not for the faint of heart.

There are multiple options of bike frame materials to choose from: steel, chromoly, alloy, carbon, aluminum or titanium. What should you look for when buying used?

Air pressure in your tires must be properly adjusted for a safe and enjoyable riding experience. Learn how to inflate your bike tires and avoid unnecessary flats.

Learn how to dial-in your bike position and avoid injuries by knowing the basic principles of height, length & angle for your saddle, handlebar, cockpit, and stem.

Would you be surprised if I’d say one of my favorite places to ride is virtually? Of course, I enjoy riding outside and exploring, but indoor has its advantage.

Our body is like a car and needs energy to move forward. During an effort, the three necessary sources of energy are carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. If you are participating in a competition, especially one that lasts longer than 1.5-2 hours, it is suggested that you replenish your glycogen, which is commonly referred to as carbo-loading.
