Cycling Efficiency Tips (Podcast #14)
Mainstream advertising has led us to believe that we have to buy things to make us faster: wheels, bike frames, helmets and special clothing are all touted as the quick way to get faster. It's also a quick way to drain your wallet. But if you're looking to invest in some speed, most of you know that you can't go wrong with hiring a coach or following a structured training plan. What you may not know is that you can squeeze even more speed, power and endurance out of the fitness you already have or you can raise the bar on our structured training by increasing your efficiency.
Counterfeit Cycling Retailers Shut Down
According to the government press release issued April 29th, these kinds of counterfeiting and sales issues are monitored by the "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)" divisions. On the previous Friday, these agents apparently seized 10 domain names and associated bank accounts that were retailing counterfeit goods. Reportedly, the ICE and HSI received assistance from Specialized and INVISTA (CoolMax and Lycra trademark owners) as well as SRAM, Cervelo and Pinarello, who all reportedly found that counterfeiters were targeting their brands of high end bikes and accessories.

Quarq Warranty Experience (Part Deux)
Contacting Quarq has always been a simple affair: they actually have human beings to talk to as opposed to a computer, and I love that. Alex, the service tech that I spoke to was immediately apologetic; in fact, his first words upon hearing "this is the third time" was essentially "oh no, you've got to be kidding me?" I give him the utmost credit. He was as helpful as he could be over the phone, talking down a jittery racer on the eve of a huge "A" priority race, standing in front of another deceased power meter, seething with anti-electronics rage, struggling to not blow a gasket and take a sledgehammer to said (dead) Cinqo.
