Frame of Fame: The Cannondale Flying V

 

THE CANNONDALE FLYINGV

 
In the ’90s, Cannondale’s DeltaV changed the mountain bike frame game. The new Cannondale FlyingV picks up where that disruption left off, carrying the silhouette forward in a lightweight, high-performance, all-carbon electric bike that blends racing heritage with urban mobility. It’s the first e-bike to feature full carbon construction, with a look that’s unmistakably modern and functional.

The FlyingV’s dropped V-frame is both futuristic and functional—easy to step over, strong, and visually striking. Designed for riders who value speed, style, and simplicity, it’s a sleek alternative to the bulky e-bikes dominating city streets. The lightweight all-carbon construction enhances maneuverability and makes it easy to carry too. Read More

Jumping rope is long known to be one of the most efficient workouts with a myriad of health and fitness benefits. It provides a full body workout by engaging multiple muscle groups, improving cardiovascular conditioning while enhancing coordination and agility. In addition, a jump rope is the most inexpensive, space-saving, portable piece of fitness equipment money can buy.

One of the most effective calorie-torching activities, studies have shown that just 10 minutes of jumping rope offers the same cardiovascular benefits as a 30-minute run. A high-intensity aerobic exercise, jumping rope has the “afterburn effect”, also known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), that keeps your body burning calories even after the workout is done.

The right equipment and proper technique are essential to keep jumping long enough to gain these fitness benefits. We turned to one of the most renowned boxing trainers, Micheal Olajide Jr., for some basic tips on both. Read More
