Sklar Goes to Japan
“Sklar Bikes travels to Japan for a five-day tour of the countryside. From Mishima to Izu Oshima, we stayed at onsen hotels, we rode some of the finest gravel in the Susono region, we ate all the soba and ramen we could find, and we enjoyed making artwork together as we pedaled through this spectacular destination. Enoy the ride!”
The end of Gorewear?
Gorewear might be closing its cycling and running-apparel division after over 40 years! The company talked in a letter about ongoing economic challenges and an unsustainable competitive environment. Orders will be accepted only until March 31, 2026, at which point operations will cease. A very sad situation, that show how hard it is to make a sustainable business in cycling right now.
