The Radavist’s Top Ten Readers’ Rides of 2023

Our favorite posts each week come from you, the readers of this website! Back in 2011 we launched our Readers’ Rides feature and every year, we like to look back at twelve months of submissions and see what resonated with people the most. Well, this year we saw a huge uptick in vintage restomods being submitted and it says something that the number one entry on this list was just posted a few weeks ago! Let’s get to it…

Bicycle Crumbs Reviews: Cannondale Compact Neo 20″ Wheel e-Bike

Since the Cannondale Compact Neo e-bike launched last fall, I was certain I had to review it. I always wanted a Hooligan (how did they not call this the e-Hooligan and where’s the Lefty?!?), their previous compact 20”-wheeled model, and as more e-bikes become available I have grown increasingly curious about trying one out for commuting. The more I looked at Compact Neo, the more I thought that its folding design and utilitarian features might just make it the perfect bike for Portland: fenders, lights, and plenty of mounts for racks. And, it’s not too flashy. After a few months riding the Compact Neo for daily commutes and “car-free” family weekend adventures, this entry level e-bike has unexpectedly re-energized the way I view the commuting and the point-to-point side of cycling.

The Distance I’ve Travelled Video Series with Brett Hite

Brette Hite is half of the American pop duo, FRENSHIP, and when he’s not making music there’s a good chance you’ll find him on a bike. The short film series, “The Distance I’ve Travelled,” shares artfully captured moments of introspection from Brett, over the course of a year, as he navigates the difficulties of the pandemic, the death of a friend, and a devastating break-up. Throughout it all, he finds solace through riding where the simple act of turning the pedals reminds him that, despite all, you can keep moving forward. 

Stella McCartney + Cannondale

Stella McCartney + Cannondale

The worlds of fashion and cycling often intersect but truth told, rarely are those collaborations worth sharing for a number of reasons. Yet when Cannondale partnered with British fashion icon, Stella McCartney, it piqued our interests. The two iconic brands worked on a series of limited edition SystemSix, SuperSix EVO, and EVO CX bikes. Featuring the designs of three artists: Ed Curtis in London, Myfawnwy (Maisie Broome) in New York, and Tom Tosseyn in Antwerp, the result is a unique interpretation of how the world’s fastest bikes can still embrace a completely different look. Head on over to the Cannondale mini-site to see the full drop.

The Cannondale Scalpel HT Hi-MOD 1 Returns in 2022 With a New Geometry and Design

The Scalpel is, as the name implies, a precision blade for cutting precise lines in singletrack. It’s an unapologetic, thoroughbred race machine that has stuck to its roots in the Cannondale lineup for over a decade. For 2022, the Scalpel returns with a fresh new design – look at that paint! – and new geometry with a slacker front end of 66.5º across all sizes. Complete with HollowGram cranks and a mix of high-end Shimano components, the new Scalpel HT Hi-MOD 1 as pictured here has a retail of $5000. Head to Cannondale to see more.
