Running has always been my exercise of choice, so after I gave birth to my son, I was desperate to get back to it. But running alone is very different from running with a child in a jogging stroller.

The Best Bike Lock

Although pandemic-related bike shortages have eased, bike thieves are still a persistent plague. The first line of defense: a good bike lock.

To find the best bike lock, we ordered 33 of the toughest we could find and then sawed, chopped, and cut them to pieces.

We learned that almost every lock can be defeated in under a minute, but the Kryptonite New-U Evolution Mini-7 offers enough of a security advantage over other locks in its price range to keep a modest commuter bike from becoming an easy target for thieves.

The Best Portable Mini Projector

A portable mini projector combines the convenience of streaming videos on a phone or tablet with the big-screen appeal of a TV. None of these small, portable projectors rival a good TV or traditional home-theater projector in performance, but the Xgimi MoGo 2 Series delivers the best combination of picture quality, ease of use, and convenience.
