Fluid Bike Trainers

For serious biking, getting a good bike trainer is key. And if you are thinking of that decrepit stationary bike you used to see in garage sales, think again. Bike trainers, also known as cycling trainers, have undergone massive renovations over the years, and are now state of the art training machines that are used by professionals and amateurs alike. There are a number of different types of bike trainers on the market, including fluid bike trainers, magnetic biking trainers, and wind bicycle trainers. For the serious biker, the fluid trainers top the lists.

Mountain Biking Hydration Packs

Staying hydrated is a must when you’re active. Water bottles can be cumbersome to carry and grab when you’re on the go, which is why backpack hydration systems are so convenient. Hands-free hydration packs allow you to sip as needed without slowing down. Which pack to choose? First, consider how you’ll use it. The packs below are designed for mountain biking, with around a  3 liter or 100 oz reservoir plus additional cargo space.

All-terrain jogging strollers

Choosing a stroller can be overwhelming. Some people become stroller collectors, with a different stroller to suit every purpose. People who lack the storage space or funds to amass a collection are often looking for the Holy Grail: one stroller that does it all. All terrain joggers come close to fitting the bill. These three-wheeled utility strollers are great for hitting the trail, cruising the farmers' market, or training for a 5k. Each feature set is a bit different, so read on to find out which one is right for your family.

Recreational Kayaks

Kayaking on a pond, lake, or river is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors while staying cool. Best of all, even beginners can enjoy themselves. Recreational kayaks are lightweight, easy to steer, and fun to paddle. Looking to pick up one for yourself? Here are three top contenders.
