Etiquette for riding near horses
Last weekend, there was a very unfortunate interaction between a cyclist and an equestrian, resulting in the equestrian being airlifted from Horsetooth Mountain Open Space to MCR. I wanted to take a second to reshare Reno's tips for riding near horses.
TLDR, if you see a horse and you're within earshot, start talking to the rider and ask them what they'd like you to do. It's always good to chat them up in the parking lot to get their take, too, that's what I do when I'm coaching with SendTown Bike Club

Ride Review: B Steele’s custom Nikas
Alright, let's go! Today, we've got B Steele's custom Nikas hardtail, proudly built right here in Fort Collins by Nick Zukauskas. Bethel or “B” (he/him or they/them) just really loves bikes. Their love for bikes started when working at a local bike shop in Boston and has continued through one-on-one and small group mechanic workshops, most of which have been a venture of Queer+ Bikes, the group B co-founded with Lauren Mehl.

DesFit Review: Garmin Varia RearVue 820
In his latest review, DesFit takes a detailed look at the new Garmin Varia RearVue 820, breaking down what Garmin improved and who this upgrade is really for. Released in February 2026, the RearVue 820 builds on Garmin’s radar legacy with a brighter 100-lumen tail light, expanded 175-meter vehicle detection, brake light functionality, and more advanced vehicle tracking when paired with compatible Edge computers or the Varia app. Des dives into real world usability, battery life, and whether the added features justify the price compared to previous Varia models and competing radar units.
