It’s not every day that a world renown bike blogger shows up at the office, but this week, Eben Weiss, a\/k\/a Bike Snob<\/a>, visited Consumer Reports<\/a>\u00a0where I am lucky enough to work.<\/p>\n

I’ve been following Eben’s blog<\/a> for years to gain insight on any manner of things, to learn new words about bad habits I have like salmoning<\/a> and shoaling<\/a>, and gawk at the bikes people send him to test, like this wood frame Renovo<\/a>, or a 100 year old steel steed<\/a>. More and more, Eben’s been an impassioned and thoughtful advocate for all of us who tend to travel on bikes<\/a>, our feet or just about anything but a car.<\/p>\n
