Michelin Cyclocross Mud2™

It's easy to see why this is one of the most popular cyclocross tires around. Built on a supple, state of the art racing tire casing, it has the supple feel you'll want when the going gets gnarly. And the tread has been refined to precisely balance the conflicting demands of traction and efficiency - with its specially shaped and spaced knobs that help avoid the unnerving squirm associated with poorly designed knob designs. When going fast in adverse conditions, you'll be glad you’re rolling on Cyclocross Mud2™ 'cross tires.

Michelin Cyclocross Jet™

Whether you choose to use it front and back or mated to a more aggressive front tire, the Cyclocross Jet™ semi-slick tire is just the ticket for getting more speed out of your 'cross bike. It features the same extra supple 127 TPI casing material as we use on our professional road tires for exceptional road (or trail) feel, and our now legendary low profile Silica Energy tread with aggresssivley chiseled shoulder knobs. You get a refined balance of straightline efficiency when you just want to roll fast, and traction when you need it most - diving through corners or climbing out of ruts.

Our mission is two fold: One, to educate outdoor enthusiasts (runners, cyclists, triathletes, skiers, snow boarders, kayakers, walkers, and anyone that doesn’t spend all of their time on the couch) about the importance of wearing ID. Two, to provide these athletes with innovative identification products that they will want to include as part of their gear.

The Top 10 reasons you should wear ID

Here are just few reasons why you should make Road ID part of your gear.

1. If you can’t speak for yourself, Road ID will speak for you.
2. Road ID enables First Responders to immediately contact family members and friends.
3. Road ID enables family members to provide additional details about your health or give consent for potentially life saving procedures.
4. Road ID enables hospital staff to locate vital medical records.
5. Road ID can communicate medical condi tions or allergy information to medical staff.
6. Road ID can prevent serious delays in treatment by saving crucial time during the “golden hour” of medical treatment.
7. It’s far better to have Road ID and not need it than to need Road ID and not have it. It’s not just a piece of gear, it’s peace of mind.
8. Accidents happen far more than you think they do. Each year approximately 450,000 of us are taken to hospitals unconscious and without identification.
9. Road ID looks good on and makes a statement about your athletic lifestyle – not to mention that studies would probably prove that people that wear Road ID are considerably smarter than those that don’t.
10. Road ID can save your Life. Period.

VITALYTE: Life is calling. The answer is Vitalyte!

Vitalyte™ was founded on the premise of helping people stay hydrated, making it to finish lines, achieving personal victories and just getting through life. Today the same mission still stands. In fact, we recently stopped, took a deep breath and made some changes to how we operate as a company, as consumers and as people. Because in todays world it’s more apparent than ever that what comes around, goes around.

Vitalyte wants to make a difference and give back — doing something bigger than ourselves, and our little company. So, we’re proud to announce that we’re going green. We have decided to use recyclable containers and recycled paper in printing. Our employees have vowed to ride their bikes or run/walk to work at least once a week. We now use energy efficient lightning and have opted to bear Mother Nature without air conditioning. We even sell refillable bags of Vitalyte so that consumers can reuse their canister — a savings on postage for you and savings on landfill space for the world. Little stuff we know, but our philosophy…every little bit helps. These little things in the end we hope inspire big things. Maybe motivate others to think about consumption and waste and do their part to reduce both. Or better yet, to help save the world and lives, all while doing what we love.
