Sweating and freezing, Pedal Pushers Online reviewers have been rolling around the streets in 20 degree weather (and the occasional nice day) and cranking away on their trainers, trying out new gear from the cycling world's best manufacturers. And oh yeah, Gary even spent time on his barco lounger reading a couple of books too! Where does the sacrifice stop I ask?
With the exception of perhaps a couple of items in this unbelievable assembly of gear, this stuff is for you, the regular cyclist. We are reviewing this based upon the viewpoint of the average to slightly intense recreational rider, not the extreme competitor. Does it work? Is it comfortable, does it help me enjoy my hobby? These are pretty much the criteria by which the stuff is judged.
Presented in the following reviews is some of the finest stuff we've come across and... a couple of... shall we call them unique ideas, as well.
To pull you out of your winter hibernation let's start by following Neil and Sharon Anderson as they pedal around Canada in PARTNERS IN GRIME.

From a brand new High end bicycling clothier we will be covering some of the great new gear for winter and spring riding from Domino. Their unique claim to fame comes from their process of bonding leather and lycra to create some of the most comfortable bike clothing around, and yet it offers real road rash protection. So check out the Domino Bib Knickers, and the Domino Bib tights for men, part of their Crash Series of comfortable protection. We also get the girls out in Domino Euro Series Long Sleeve Jersey, Wind Sheer Jacket, and Women's vest, part of their Euro Series. Speaking of crashing, Rudy Project is represented with their new Ayron Helmet and Pedros offers up their Folding Hex set to help put that crashed two wheeler back in to some semblance of riding shape.

More terrific base layers from Mountain Hardwear hit the streets on a couple of chilly days on the road (and trail). Featured are the Men's Hyper Dry Tights and Crew. Pearl Izumi did their part to keep us warm with their Amphib Booties too.

It's too cold for the road? Hit the trail! Trail lovers will add some spring to their step (or ride) with the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp. Even the coldest days didn't disuade our dedicated review staff from taking the Stumpjumper out to give it a run for its money.

Oh yeah on the extreme end of this list, you know those couple of items that don't really fit into the "everyday rider" we have a review of the Lightest mirror known to weight weenies, the M2 Racer Stealth Mirror, and a truly ridiculously cool (and light) set of M2 Racer Titanium Skewers.

Then there's the Windpipe... this clever little device dries the INSIDE of your hydration pack to eliminate all kinds of gross stuff from growing inside the bladder... Hmmmm, speaking of bladders, you think it could do a fast job of drying my chamois?
