To celebrate 85 years since Rene Herse made the world’s lightest touring bike, the company is offering Limited Editions of its most popular models with all-black Endurance casings. “Because some bikes simply look better with all-black tires,” wrote Jan and Natsuko of Rene Herse Cycles. Quantities are limited, prices are the same as their regular tires, and performance is identical, too. Check out more at Rene Herse Cycles.

Josh’s Favorite Products of 2023

In addition to the organizational changes we experienced with this website, I feel fortunate to have met and collaborated with many amazing people in addition to traveling to some truly remarkable places. My list of favorite products ended up being rather eclectic, but I think it reflects the wide range of material we get to cover here. Of course, music was an integral backdrop to my work – on rides, traveling abroad, and with my family at home – so I have joined some of our other contributors in offering a selection of favorite tunes, alongside a handful of products, below.
