Notes from the road

Gear Talk: Bike Vs. E-Bike & MIPS

At Gray & Co., we embrace activity at all levels and for all ages. With our high staff-to-guest ratios, an expert mechanic and follow-along support vehicles on each cycling trip, we ensure that everyone has fun and makes it to lunch!

E-bikes help you visit regions previously too hilly for consideration, such as Piemonte in Italy, or some of the mountain rides in Mallorca. They also can help slower riders keep up — if they want to. It’s easy to hit the turbo button! Other biking game-changers include helmets that integrate MIPS technology, a new system designed to reduce the chance of concussions. Pick up one from Specialized and other top companies.
