		<title>Facebook “Like” Social Widget Bug: The page could not be reached.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re landing here you&#8217;re probably searching your way through a frustrating Facebook Social Widget bug. When creating a &#8220;Like Button&#8221; over at: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ that points to a Page on Facebook, &#8220;Like&#8221;-ing the page results in an error which says that the Like URL being used could not be reached. Surely Facebook can reach itself can&#8217;t it? Well, not if you set your page&#8217;s restrictions to &#8220;Age Restrictions&#8221; in the &#8220;Manage Permissions&#8221; tab to anything but &#8220;Anyone (13+)&#8221;. An oversight in the Facebook javascript doesn&#8217;t actually check whether or not the user in question clicking the Like button is of the correct age group to &#8220;Like&#8221; a page. Furthermore, the error being displayed is likely not correctly handled. What the error should say, is that they are not old enough to &#8220;Like&#8221; the page. I&#8217;ve seen this bug pop up a lot in searches, but no solutions were presented. Hope this helps!]]></description>

		<title>Another KickStarter Project: PumpTire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seems like there are a lot of cool local Bay Area projects out on KickStarter. Last week I took at RevoLights, which are a set of very functional and brilliantly timed LEDs to effectively create a headlamp and tail lamp for bicycles. This week I came across PumpTire, a tire that promises to inflate itself and stay inflated simply by riding it. Sounds cool enough right? Here&#8217;s the video: So I can see a lot of problems with this system: Have to use their tires, and probably their tubes. Big heavy valve. Limited to tire pressures selection set by their valves (sometimes bigger people need more pressure, and smaller people less pressure). Expensive. Lumen is prone to being punctured, then you get to throw away your tire. Lumen may wear down very quickly due to the protruding nature of the &#8220;pump&#8221; area of the lumen. Handling may be affected due to the protruding area of the lumen. With these faults, I&#8217;m not sure how viable the PumpTire is even for casual cyclists. If it were me instead, I&#8217;d explore the possibility of taking the lumen concept out of the tire and instead placing it into the rim strip for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cool New Project: Revolights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw a great project come out of kickstarter.com called Revolights. Concept is simple, its a set of lights that are battery powered LED rings that spin with your bicycle wheel. When rotation is detected, LEDs turn on and off in a way that projects a white LED &#8220;headlight&#8221; forward, and a red LED &#8220;taillight&#8221; backwards. Run time is around 4 hours for the front and more in the back. This is just a plug because I think it&#8217;s seriously too cool not to blog about. While this certainly won&#8217;t go on my road bike because it probably won&#8217;t fit on 46mm depth wheels, it will make a great addition to my backup bike / San Jose Bike Party bike, my single-speed Bianchi Pista Via Condotti. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever shown her on my blog, she&#8217;s a beautiful shade of green:]]></description>

		<title>Yokozuna Reaction Cable System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The SRAM Red group comes with some Gore Ride-on Cables &#8212; and while they&#8217;re buttery smooth when new, the elements quickly turns these cables into doo-doo. Gore must have gotten the idea from guitar strings to coat them in a fragile low friction material. Problem is, the lining wears and shears off very quickly making a mess in your cable housing. So I decided to make a change when CompetitiveCyclist had a good deal on Yokozuna Reactions a little while ago. I had heard great things about them from Bike Forums and immediately bought a set. That&#8217;s where all the headaches began Side note: CompetitiveCyclist, seriously, over a week to ship a set of cables to me? Sorry, I&#8217;m just an impatient guy I guess &#8212; spoiled with closer warehouses for other online vendors. Let me put this simply, Yokozuna Reaction cables/housings are a serious pain in the ass to install. I even bolded it for you &#8212; this should deter most of you who don&#8217;t work on your own bicycles. You will need a dremel and cutoff wheel to cut the housings as not to restrict cable movement within the housings. Other issues might include cable routing due to the thickness [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Pedals: Look Keo Blade Carbon Titanium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To follow up with my most recent SpeedPlay post, I followed through and purchased a set of Look Keo Blades. I thought why not spend the extra for the titanium axle ones? I&#8217;m not going to lie, these have serious bling factor. They&#8217;re just plain beautiful. The packaging was very nice, and upon opening them, the blades show off their brand name and carbon fiber spring with the gorgeous aesthetic weave on them. Surprisingly in the package I found it came with a pair of cleat covers, mounting hardware, a pair of &#8220;grip&#8221; cleats, and an extra set of normal cleats. Gotta love extras! I opted for the 12 Nm carbon &#8220;springs&#8221; instead of the 16 Nm &#8212; while this wasn&#8217;t a mistake, it wasn&#8217;t quite as stiff as the amount of force required to clip in and out of the SpeedPlays Zeros. Honestly, that might be a good thing. The effort to clip in or out isn&#8217;t as much, but the engagement is very &#8220;positive&#8221; whatever that might mean to you. Clipping In &#8211; This is the single issue I have with these, I&#8217;m just not used to single sided clipping in. I haven&#8217;t any issues clipping in when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Speedplay, your Zero cleats suck.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re breaking up Speedplay. A long time ago &#8212; when I was a much more inexperienced rider, I was attracted to the gimmicks of dual-sided entry, infinitely adjustable float, and low weight. Now I realize that these things don&#8217;t really even matter all that much. Dual-sided entry is just for those who are afraid of not being able to get in the cleat fast enough, of those who think they&#8217;ll fumble for the pedals of another system. Like with any system, it just takes a little bit of time to get used to. Speedplays might be easier to try the first time, but in the grand scheme of things, time learning to be comfortable with any clipless system is a small drop in the bucket. Get over this. Infinitely adjustable float sounds awesome, but really isn&#8217;t necessary unless you&#8217;ve got knee issues or happen to walk like a duck. To be honest, my heel in/heel out has been the same since I&#8217;ve installed these pedals and seems to be the same as most other float offerings. Some love to be a weight weenie and compare one product to another based on a minuscule weight difference (not that I&#8217;m not guilty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple WordPress Cron Plugin Tutorial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a very simple example of how to register a cron hook upon activation of a plug-in, and subsequently add a function action to that hook. I needed this for a plug-in I was developing, and find that although the pseudo-cron in WordPress is limited, it&#8217;s very useful for simple tasks. &#60;?php // Upon activation or deactivation of the plugin run the appropriate functions. // Note that __FILE__ just means the current file, also very important, do not put // your activation and deactivation functions in a separate file which you include. // This won't work, because of the file loading done in register activate and deactivate. // If you have to, define two dummy functions in this main PHP file and call functions // in the other included file. register_activation_hook&#40;__FILE__, 'my_plugin_activation'&#41;; register_deactivation_hook&#40;__FILE__, 'my_plugin_deactivation'&#41;; &#160; // We can assume that at this point, the cron hook is registered, and we can add a // function action to the execution of its hook. add_action&#40;'my_hourly_cron', 'do_my_hourly_cron'&#41;; &#160; function my_plugin_activation &#40;&#41; &#123; // If our cron hook doesn't yet exist, create it. if &#40;!wp_next_scheduled&#40;'my_hourly_cron'&#41;&#41; &#123; wp_schedule_event&#40; time&#40;&#41;, 'hourly', 'my_hourly_cron'&#41;; &#125; &#125; &#160; function my_plugin_deactivation &#40;&#41; &#123; // If our cron hook exists.

		<title>Review: Veloflex Corsa 22 Clincher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For over a year now my go-to tire has been the 23mm Continental Gran Prix 4000 S. However, recently Continental has been increasing their prices for all tires they produce and now GP4000S are a staggering $70 a piece. If you happen to be crazy enough to pay retail on these and get roughly 2,000 miles on them like I do &#8212; that comes out to about $0.035 a mile (rear tire). That&#8217;s more than I pay for track rubber for the S2000 ($0.03 a mile). Furthermore, to offset this cost, I usually waited until ProBikeKit had their seasonal sale on GP4000S. They&#8217;re usually about half the price shipped when they are on clearance &#8212; however I&#8217;ve had some increasing number of lengthy shipping times coming from the UK &#8212; and there is always the risk of being hit with tariffs, ending the overseas pricing advantage. This lead me to try something new &#8212; I wasn&#8217;t looking to beat the GP4000S, but maybe find a nice compromise. A friend of mine recommended I try something in the Veloflex line, said they ride really well. I found them for $48.99/tire. Prior to purchasing these tires I had never heard of an &#8220;open tubular&#8221; or [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Gear: Clean Bottle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The folks over at We Keep You Cycling sent over a pair of Clean Bottles with black caps: after I wished for them on their Facebook page. I just received these so no full review yet. It will take some time for me to get used to these bottles nozzles as they are the traditional pull type. I&#8217;ve grown quite fond of the squirt type bottles. Initial quality is really good on these, and graphics on the side seem pretty durable. Expect a product review in the near future as I break them in.]]></description>
