Last time we tried to pump up our bike tires before heading to the gym, our pump burst its tube and ended up draining all the air out of our tire. We spent the next ten minutes reinflating our tire with a tiny handheld travel... [More]
Camping? Love. The sleeping part of camping? Not so much love. Maybe we're getting older, but without a pillow that supports the neck we wake up stiff as Frankenstein. Not pretty. This REI Self-Inflating Travel Pillow ($20) won't take up much space in your pack... [More]
This New Year's Goals: 1. Try something new 2. Be more active Looks like this Mammut Ophira 3 Slide Climbing Harness ($55) will take care of both those goals. We think we'll start out at the local rock climbing quarry and then move on to... [More]
We've been wishing for more opportunities to get out in nature, despite the cold, wet weather. We think these MSR Evo Ascent 22 Snowshoes ($160 on sale) will help us (and you!) plan some cool weekend activities. Just fill a pack with a few waters,... [More]

The only thing we miss about selling our car and biking more often is the cup holder. Sometimes a girl's just gotta have a place to hold her coffee, you know? This Electra Cup Holder ($15) attaches to our eco-ride so we still get the... [More]
Have you ever wondered how far you have to ride to get to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts for your morning coffee fix? Or somehow got to work 5 minutes early and wondered just how fast you were cruising on your bike? Or maybe you're just... [More]
If we have to wear a bike helmet, we'd prefer to wear the cool Yakkay Bike Helmet ($65). At least it doesn't make us look like a 7th grader with braces again. Who says safety can't look cute?... [More]
This summer we plan on riding our bike to the beach every day to work on our tan writing and enjoy a little sunshine. We figure it would be smart to get a jump start on strategic packing with this Basil Front Carrier ($68). By... [More]
Ironically, we're a little stressed about getting one of these Cyntia Rowley Relax Quilted Picnic Blankets ($120) because they're limited edition - only 65 were created! C'mon payday! We're looking forward to lounging on this sumptuous blanket with a chilled glass of wine and some... [More]
Even though we've just barely got through the beginning of winter, we're looking forward to spring days and flying a kite at our local park. We plan on packing a picnic, carting our bazillion nieces and nephews to the playground and having a run with... [More]
Oh, how we long for the days of summer when we could lounge on the beach drinking cheap beer and not worrying about anything but our tan lines. Winter's harsh chill has almost made us lose hope, but when we came across this Volcom Fooled... [More]

You never know when you'll need your Juggling Sticks ($25) skills to land yourself a job. After all, "ability to juggle tasks" is considerably vague on a resume, but to physically show your juggling skills is quite impressive to employers. Nothing says well rounded than... [More]
It's really not like we go bowling all that often. In fact, almost never . . . but if for some reason we turn into real bowlers in the future, this is the ball we think our future selves need. Imagine it mooing menacingly as... [More]
You and your bike have put in a lot of miles together. Trips to the beach, morning rides of shame to get your daily Diet Coke/coffee/bear claw fix, and (in our case lame attempts at) mountain biking. It deserves a little TLC once in a... [More]
Surprise your husband with The Snowball Slingshot ($40) this Christmas and watch him revert back to a 15 year old boy, minus the acne and squeaky voice. This totally beats the Nerf dart gun he's been hinting about.... [More]
This limited edition Camelbak Groove Water Bottle ($25) has two things a regular Camelbak lacks: style and charity! We love our solid color bottle, but ya gotta admit the pattern on the Goove bottle is pretty cute. Plus, when you purchase a Groove, not only... [More]

And the award for nerdiest snowboard gear goes to...(drumroll, please!)...the Red Avid Grom R2D2 Helmet ($100)! Good thing it's cool to be a nerd these days. Quite literally, we suppose, if you're wearing this on the slopes.... [More]
Okay, Burton. We're keen on boarding in style this winter and as much as we get why all the ladies' boards feature groovy flowers and feminine colors, we were thinking more along the lines of your Chopper Star Wars Snowboard Series ($190) for boys. But... [More]
It's too damn cold to think about using this Marshmallow Twig Roaster ($18) outside, but what's the point in being able to have fire inside your house if you can't roast marshmallows? S'mores are not just for camping, people!... [More]
If you're going to tailgate and then try and sneak into the game with a flask, we're going to point you in the best "smuggle it in" direction we can! We don't like paying 8 dollars per beer, either! These Original Disposable Flasks ($15, set... [More]
We've been so sad to see the sun set earlier and earlier each day. *Sigh* Pretty soon we're going to find ourselves curling up in PJ's right after we leave work at 5pm. But until then, we're going to squeeze every last second out of... [More]
Even though we paid a pretty penny for our latest top of the line water bottle, we're going to have to put it back on our shelves in favor of the Contigo Kangaroo Water Bottle ($10, on sale). It's not that we're not into the... [More]
We love the idea of backpacking into the woods and roughing it for a few days. Except there are bugs, and that pack is really heavy, and we won't be able to check our facebook account to see if anyone 'liked' our cute camping braid... [More]
After a week of camping with no showers, we're not even going to imply you'll emerge from The Netted Cocoon Hammock ($100) as a beautiful butterfly. We will tell you that you'll emerge bite free and rested from not having mosquitoes buzzing in your ears... [More]
We don't know who grandpa is, but his idea for the Light My Fire Grandpa's Fire Fork ($5) is genius! Make use of random sticks or your extremely drunk uncle's finger and start roasting some marshmallows and wieners. There are a lot of bonfires coming... [More]
Protection against biking spills, soccer mishaps, and well placed kicks from incredibly grumpy children, G-form Shin Pads ($40) protect those sensitive areas from things that make us laugh in movies, but cry in real life. Feel free to get bad-A in your next soccer match,... [More]
It's been a while since you've broken your arm, right? Designed to go about a billion times faster than the ol' college cafeteria trays we used all through college, the Hammerhead Pro XLD Sled ($349) carves and glides down mountain faces like an animal. Are... [More]
We've been looking for something like these Soap to Go Travel Size Adventure Sticks ($5 for 10) by Prunella Soap for a while now. We're not keen on hand sanitizer in our purses ever since it exploded all over our favorite leather bag, and public... [More]
