There comes the time in all of our lives when we need to make the decision: to #occupybikeseat or not. Being a reader of this site, you’d think it’s an easy question right? WRONG! There is a bitch in all of us and today I feel like slappin’ a bitch and setting things right. This [...]

We get a ton of great emails from you guys every day and I make sure to read every single one.  This week, one in particular took the cake. It was just a picture of a piece of paper and note that said “put this in a mailbox tonight”.  I think this is 100%  pure [...]

This past Halloween, I did not party like in years past, mostly because I don’t really know anyone here in Colorado Springs to party with. In lieu of drunken debauchery, I went to a Halloween criterium put on by the Women’s Mountain Biking Association of Colorado Springs, and I’ll tell ya, I had a damn [...]

We’re going to start putting together all the Cyclist Down stories into one weekly update. I’d prefer that I didn’t get enough emails every week to do it that often. But, if a review of past history is any indication of what to expect in future, well, we’re going to have a lot to share. [...]

From: kipchoge johnny, johnny, johnny, You’re still at it an so am I. I can see the latest from you right here, and you can now see the latest from me right here, too. To wit: My band, the Ginger Ninjas, tours by bicycle. Our first tour (we’re now planning number 6), through Mexico in [...]

One in from Lukas: We are throwing a bit of a throw down here in Southern Utah. The likes of which have never happened before. We are trying to get a desperately needed mtb organization up and running and are having our kick off event the Friday after Interbike. Attached is a flyer for the [...]

It’s official: Cycling is still not a main stream sport in the United States. It doesn’t matter how many people you see on the road riding. It doesn’t matter how much Jeff Novitzky‘s crusade to bring down Lancey Pants is in the media. We still don’t exist to most Americans. That’s fine, I don’t really have a problem [...]

Another one in from our Far East Correspondent Response. The Ride of Silence event occurred several weeks ago. I’m a little late in posting this. But, I’ve been a bit buried with this bar review course I’m taking this summer. Better late than never, right? Well, Last night I busted a move to Tsim Sha [...]
