Since June 2005 members of Visual Resistance have been creating small memorials to fallen bikers in New York City. When a biker has been killed in an auto-related accident a bike is painted all-white and locked down at the scene with a small plaque attached.
The installations are meant as reminders of the tragedy that took […]

This bike is going nowhere fast. Sort of like the 15 lb. spare tire around my waist. I don’t know if this was a practical joke or an art installation, but I love it the same, either way. If you look closely, you’ll see that you only need to break one lock to […]

Ryan Lipscomb saw the truck coming. He saw the driver wasn’t going to stop. He also knew he couldn’t. So he hit the brakes on his bicycle as hard as he could, which flipped him over his handlebars and put his head directly into the path of the big delivery truck’s […]

Forget clown make-up; there isn’t any here. Just scars, knee pads and boulders. Oh yeah and wheel uno. These guys, god bless ‘em, are on another level when it comes to the large group of cycling crazies out there.

This is sad. Floyd Landis’ follow-up test results are positive for synthetic testosterone. There’s some screwiness with the results (of-effing-course there is) what with the lab not allowing Landis’ expert, Paul Scott, to be present during the running of the tests.
The lab had originally agreed to let him witness the testing, but […]

I’m not sure what else to say about this. Perhaps, love is blind faces backwards?

I’ve never been much of a fan of folding bikes. (Disclaimer: I say this having never ridden one.) I think they look goofy and I always doubt their ability to A) handle the abuse my 200 pound body puts a bike through and B) provide a stable & comfortable ride with 12″ wheels.
And then I […]

Mountain Biking U.K. published a jaw-dropper today about Dave Watson jumping The Tour De France . Now, I watched a bit of Tour coverage last year, but I didn’t see anything about this. And I think it’s really a shame that I didn’t, considering it’s a lot more exciting than a bunch […]
