Build a Better Bike

Interbike day 1: We came, we saw, we air-guitared by Bikewagon

The day started off with a less-than-satisfying Las Vegas breakfast buffet. But besides one guy almost losing said buffet later in the day, we didn’t let the bad food keep us down. There is always plenty (maybe too much?) of cool stuff to see at the nation’s biggest bike trade show. Here are few of the highlights for us. Look for them in the not-too-distant future on the mothership (that’s bikewagon.com, in case you’re wondering):

Ritchey’s got some sweet new red and silver handlebars coming out:

Crank Brothers continues to expand their beautiful lineup with their latest addition, carbon stems:

Ergon’s coming out with some cool platform pedals, as well as gloves to match their grips:

And Fizik is releasing some custom heat-molded shoes. Unfortunately, their 1st-year production will be very limited, but they look awesome, so you have something to look forward to.

The buzzword at Interbike 2010 is “urban,” and the bike fashion show certainly reflected that movement:

At the end of the day, we stumbled upon the air guitar competition Yakima was holding. Jon, Nathan and Paul all jumped in to try and impress the crowd. They rocked it, if we do say so ourselves. Check out the vid:

Unfortunately, another conetstant had a few more compadres in the crowd, so his cheers were a little bit louder. But Yakima still hooked us up with some sweet consolations.
