Sunglasses for mountain biking provide eye protection from sun and debris while improving contrast on the trail. Oversized, goggle-like eyewear can trap heat and sweat, but the Smith Syncline uses a slight lens gap for moisture venting and a smudge- and moisture-resistant coating for easier cleaning and clearer optics. Photochromic lenses with ChromaPop technology adapt quickly to changing light while enhancing contrast and natural color. Large wrap-around coverage prevents eyeline blockage and coverage gaps on bright days, while remaining lightweight with autolock hinges for one-handed use. A compact mini pump from State Bicycle Co. is presented as an intriguing alternative to more expensive electric mini-pumps, with a stated price of $69 USD.

The extra-large coverage area and wrap-around lens also mean there's no frame blocking the eyeline or weird gaps in coverage on super-bright days. Despite their size, they're still super lightweight, and the autolock hinges make for easy one-handed on-and-off and storage."
"I've always been a hand-pump enjoyer. They work pretty well, and if you've got the fitness and a high-volume pump, it doesn't take much to get a tire or tube back up to the desired pressure after a burp or flat. But when the SBC Mini-Pump showed up on my doorstep, I was intrigued. Most electric mini-pumps are not cheap, and at just $69 USD, the State Bicycle "
