"I believe it was Ferris Bueller who said, " Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. " Maybe it's just that I'm getting older, but it sure felt like 2025 went by in a hurry. But when I sat down to reflect on the past year's experiences and all of the great new gear that I got to try, I'm reminded that it was another one for the books."
"With the constant advancement of materials and technology, it can be challenging to keep up with all of the latest and greatest new products. Sometimes I wonder if the industry shouldn't just slow down for a bit and take a breather to let us all catch up (and maybe let the market stabilize), but then I try something new that totally blows my mind. There's never been a better time to be any type of cyclist. The gear we use just keeps getting better."
"I relocated here a little over a year ago from the Tahoe-Truckee area, where I spent the past 24 years riding bikes, skiing way too much, and generally trying to avoid growing up. I started mountain biking as a teenager in the early 1990s and have only become more obsessed with the sport as the years have gone by. Back in 2016, I also started riding gravel bikes and quickly developed an affinity for endurance racing."
2025 felt fast-paced while cycling materials and technology advanced significantly, producing standout new gear. The rapid product development makes keeping up challenging, yet many innovations impress. Equipment improvements benefit mountain, gravel, and endurance riders and enhance the overall cycling experience. A rider relocated to Reno after 24 years in Tahoe-Truckee, began mountain biking in the early 1990s, and took up gravel riding in 2016, developing an affinity for endurance racing. The rider avoids road riding due to traffic concerns and has spent eight years testing and reviewing cycling gear while collaborating with BikeRumor.
