we here at one less car, ride our bikes everyday in the heat, rain, snow, wind- whatever mother nature can throw at us. in doing so, we buy a lot of gear.

we decided to start reviewing some of the stuff we get in order to help out other commuters spending their hard earned dollars on some new gear, plus this way, we can write off all the fun stuff we buy!

 

Like what we're doing? Have our reviews helped you out? If so, help support us by picking up some stickers or a shirt! Thanks!!!

if you make, sell, trade, etc. any bike related products and you want to get your product out there drop us a line. what we do is have you send us a sample. we test it out thoroughly and unobjectively, then we write up a review and watch 750,000 or so people per month read what we said. you can get in touch with us via:brandon@1lesscar.com -thanks!

p.s. if you have something that's not particularly a cycling product, but something that those who ride might enjoy or use, drop us a line!
