I dream about bikes, building the ultimate machine of efficiency and aesthetics. And of course, I ride bikes - but I can’t afford to create some of the dream machines I envision, so I peruse the web looking for bits and pieces to mold together my fantasy bikes. However, there is a website devoted to testing cycling products…

At Test Rider.com, you can see and hear tapes of bikes and bike bling tested by riders - not advertisers. And you can suggest what bike or product you’d like to see evaluated. I wrote in that I’d like to see a Calfee Bamboo bike tested several weeks ago and last night I saw the review! Magnificent!

If you truly like cycling and love bikes, testrider.com is a great place to get real world reviews from people on the saddle - not the couch.
