In my last article about how technology is bringing bicycling into the 21st century, I stated that much of that forward push is from accessories.

Each Segues column starts with something tech-related before quickly branching out from there into a tangentially related thread. These articles are born from my thought and speech patterns that regularly contain quickfire transitions. For one of my birthdays, a friend made me a crown that said “King of the Segues”.
