Hoogerland got knocked sideways by a passing French television car, and sent Mach 10 into a barbed wire fence upside-down and rolling over the front of his bike. The video has already been posted here on DC. This is a clearer version off Youtube. To say it was ugly would be a vast understatement. It [...]

Haven’t watched even one minute of the stage even though it’s been recorded since early this morning. I just haven’t the time. Shit, I haven’t even read about it. All I’ve seen is a couple of photos. And they pretty much tell me everything I to know. A couple guys fell. One hurt badly enough [...]

Short break from the (seemingly endless) study of law. Yeah, I can upload a pic in about three minutes for ya there, chief. Just hold on and don’t get your panties in a bunch. Evans. Class.

Happy Birthday, America. Image source: http://www.daylife.com/photo/02dxgr81UC5XP. Strictly a class move when he signaled a W for Wouter Weylandt. All class. And big ups to Thor Hushovd too. He was a big part of the win, and it did not go unnoticed. “To have the world champion and yellow jersey work for you to launch the [...]

Back in the late 1990s, Aaron Dykstra was a self-described “severely ADD” bike and skater punk who got kicked out of two private Christian schools in Roanoke for being a smart aleck. Now, from a small basement studio on Campbell Avenue, Dykstra, 27, is wowing the custom bicycle world. His prize-winning handcrafted frames are bringing [...]
