New commuting headlight

Like computers headlights have improved by leaps and bounds the last few years. This past summer I sold my old Cygo-Lite light on eBay and used the proceeds to go towards a new NiteNider MiNewt cordless. It has 50 more lumen output, the weighs about 2 pound less, no water bottle batter or wires, charges in 1/2 the time and I can changer from my PC at work via USB too. All this for under $100 which is what I paid for the Cygo-Lite Nitro XM 4 years ago).

If yours headlight is more than 3 years old treat your self to one of the new models on the market and enjoy a few extra hours of riding.

One great habitStretch after you shower in the morning. Get flexible by fitting a few minutes of stretching into your day.Wallace Wormley
Improve your mechanical disk brakesIf you want your mechanical disk brakes to be more responsive use SIS housing instead standard brake housing.Matt Schrader
Low-cost frame cleanerSpray furniture polish (i.e. Pledge) is a quick and cheap way to clean your frame.Wallace Wormley
Have you check your tire pressure lately?Under inflated tires roll slower, wear faster and increase the chance of flats and rim damage. While over inflated tires risk the chance on a blow-out and poor traction. Tire pleasure should be checked every day before your ride.Wallace Wormley
Don't forget to DrinkA lot of cyclist don't drink enough water when they ride. Always drink before you ride and you should try to drink every 8-10 minutes and average (1) 20oz. water bottle per hour. Always drink more when the weather is hotter.Wallace Wormley
Saddle MaintenanceYour saddle is often ignored and neglected. A leather saddle can last many years and thousands of miles if taken care of. Wipe your seat down regularly with leather cleaner and softener which will keep the leather in tip top shape. I think mink oil works the best.Wallace Wormley
