I’m starting to think my Cervelo, purchased last year from Competitive Cyclist (CC), may be bugged. I’m not formally accusing Brendan and the CC crew of electronic eavesdropping yet, but there’s something unnerving about the way they keep anticipating my next [...]

With an eye on the most common screen resolutions I’m seeing in the logs, here are three free wallpapers showcasing Velodramatic cycling photography in the Hebrides. More to follow… enjoy.

Team Slipstream Chipotle’s David Zabriskie has the beginnings of a worthwhile campaign to educate cyclists and drivers about our mutual rights and responsibilities on the road.

Yield to Life advocates greater awareness and tolerance from motorists with some common sense safety tips and an invitation to give cycling a try themselves. It just might change their [...]

I’m late for a meeting and even the never-red traffic lights are against me on this morning’s commute. Two miles to go, approaching a left turn which is usually a slow and go. Today there are several parked cars lined up round the corner. One of them, a stationary white van hides a moving white [...]

Every time I open the box and peer inside it’s Christmas morning and I’m a kid again. The gloss-black Record Gruppo packaging is as pretty as any wrapping paper. Inside the mechanical jewels sparkle and gleam. I [...]

Last night I took the plunge and purchased a year’s subscription to Cycling TV so I could get up at the crack of dawn to watch Paris Roubaix. After a few technical hiccups logging into the service (probably due to the volume of traffic) I settled in with Anthony McCrossan and Brian Smith for the [...]

It was the photograph that grabbed me. A young, bohemian Bontrager standing in front of an impossibly tiny garage overflowing with bikes, wheels and parts. Truly humble beginnings for the man whose parts grace some of the best bicycles in the world. The short video gave me a fascinating glimpse of the man, and [...]

Yesterday I lost my bearings twice. We were a mile from the finish of our Sunday ride when my crankset started to self destruct. Half expecting metal shavings and sparks to accompany the horrible sounds coming from the bottom bracket, I limped home, searching for a gear and a cadence that would minimize the damage [...]

Santa Clara, CA – Each Spring, when cycling’s attention turns to classics on the cobbles of Belgium, cyclists here face an annual classic of another kind. I’m speaking of course about Trash week - the Hell of the Heap, a general amnesty for homeowners resulting in a communal purge to equal Hercules’ labors in [...]
