Laplander Bags: August 2010
http://laplanderbags.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 16, 2010. New rack attachment system! We recently partially re-designed the way our City Panniers. Attach to your rack. We still are going to use the rubberized hook and cinch-down, parachute cord system to hook the bags onto the bottom of a rack. But we wanted to improve on the velcro straps that secure the bags to the top of the rack. We want to extend the opportunity to existing Laplander customers to have their bags upgraded to this system if they choose. We are working out the det...

Laplander Bags: Riding Through Winter
http://laplanderbags.blogspot.com/2012/02/riding-through-winter.html
Saturday, February 11, 2012. Winter is still a great time to ride, it takes longer to get ready, toes and fingers might get cold but you get to see the landscape with no leaves which lets you spot things that would have other wise remain hidden . Here are a few pics from us and some of our customers! Juliet and I went for a great ride ride as the snow fell. Looks like a old quarry or maybe even mine entrance we had never seen before. We took a few minutes to warm up in the shelter of this covered bridge.

Bananas: Nittany.
http://mikefesta.blogspot.com/2013/09/nittany.html
Friday, September 13, 2013. I love grass crits. They are like normal crits, but when you fall down, you are not picking asphalt our of your hip for a month. I have never raced Nittany in anything other than dry conditions. I missed 2011's mud bog due to some. circumstances. Steeze Photo: Drew Armstrong. Now that I was in dead last, I figured I would burn all the matches! Day 2 was a bit more calm at the start nobody died in the first fenced in corner. ( COUGH, ANDREW MILLER. Finally with 2 to go I found ...

Bananas: How To Be Awesome at The Trans-Sylvania Mountain Bike Epic
http://mikefesta.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-be-awesome-at-trans-sylvania.html
Tuesday, June 4, 2013. How To Be Awesome at The Trans-Sylvania Mountain Bike Epic. Once again my last week of May was dominated by the awesomeness that is TSE. This post is going to read a lot like the last installment in the How To Be Awesome Series. It will not contain too much race report content as you can read race reports. And on the TSE blog. Instead I will offer you, my misguided reader, an insiders look into what exactly it takes to rock out at TSE. Where is the nearest beer store? IPA, Pale Ale,.

Bananas: 2013 NE Rapha Gentleman's Race
http://mikefesta.blogspot.com/2013/05/2013-ne-rapha-gentlemans-race.html
Wednesday, May 8, 2013. 2013 NE Rapha Gentleman's Race. How long does it take a person to forget how bad a 9 hour, 138 mile ride/race/deathmarch with 7 hours spent in total back spasm? I n 2011 I was privileged enough to be part of Lehigh Valley edition. When I sent the email to my team proposing we try it again in 2013, I hit send with a bit of trepidation. Is this worth it? Myles, Chris, Craig, Steve, Kyle, and I were selected to represent Ciclismo. The way RGR starts, teams are ordered by slowest ...

Bananas: How to be Awesome at Cyclocross.
http://mikefesta.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-to-be-awesome-at-cyclocross.html
Monday, November 3, 2014. How to be Awesome at Cyclocross. 2014 has been my 3rd year of paying the UCI a handy sum of money to race cyclocross bicycles. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing. 2 seasons of getting beat on pretty badly have taught me how to have a bit more fun. Here are my ways to turn lemons into. less sour lemons. Slap that guy on the front, watch hilarity ensue. The reactions you get are priceless. Beer makes everything better. Sometimes its tough to drink DURING the race. tho...I hav...

Laplander Bags: November 2010
http://laplanderbags.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. How Our Hooks Are Made. The hooks we use to secure our panniers to your rack may be a small component, but a lot of attention has gone into this simple piece of bent wire. Some of the spokes we use are anodized black while others are untreated stainless steel. After the hooks are bent into shape and the ends are trimmed, we rubberize the hook to keep it from scratching your bike or rack. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Like us on Facebook!

Bananas: MASS Bikeline Fair Hill XC
http://mikefesta.blogspot.com/2013/05/mass-bikeline-fair-hill-xc.html
Wednesday, May 1, 2013. MASS Bikeline Fair Hill XC. Roadie friendly mountain bike courses are awesome. I'm not ashamed to admit that. I like to pedal (it is a bike after all) and courses that allow me to pedal often translate to an not completely shitty result for me. Fair hill has a lot of pedally parts, as well as a lot of turny parts where you can pretty easily hit a tree. Here is a great picture of me pedaling and not hitting trees. http:/ marshcreektraditions.smugmug.com/Sports. Lauren. being st...
