Sorry to bump the Gnome’s post so quickly…you should read it right after you read this. “A motorist sped his car through a pack of more than 100 cycling activists in southern Brazil, sending bikes and screaming riders flying through the air and landing hard on the asphalt in a scene captured on amateur video [...]

Pain has a face. And it looks a fair bit like this: Image source: http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/kuurne-brussel-kuurne-1-1/elite-men/photos/160749. Yeah, gratuitous shot of Boom Boom Boonen in the closing kilometers getting in some high-intensity efforts. He was kitted up like he was out for a training ride. Which, apparently, he was as his finishing place was of little concern. [...]

Ladies & Gentlemen, cycling fans of all ages: The 2011 races of Spring are upon us. Photo credit: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/02/news/sebastian-langeveld-beats-juan-antonio-flecha-at-het-nieuwsblad_161791. I had no faith in our Mr. Sebastian Langeveld. I did not believe he could hold off the likes of last year’s winner in a very motivated Juan Antonio Flecha (who is a very hard man, [...]

Granted spring is just around the corner, but for the folks who call Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming home, this is becoming a big ticket issue.  So I pose the question that many others have already asked: should snow bikes be allowed in Yellowstone during the winter?  I first caught wind of all this from my [...]

I was just checking out Jimmy’s FuckGas blog and saw this rad video. The mix of the music is superb too. :37 is my favorite. The Bicycle Film Festival is accepting submissions until 4/1/11. I think Caveman should enter some of his shit.

Welcome to This Old Bike. Today on This Old bike, some unsettling news from Seattle: Mother Katie’s kid-towing, hill crushing bike has been stolen. “This bike represents the most time I’ve eva spent tinkerin’ on any rig. So when I herd that it was lifted, that just made me rip-shit mad.” “Yeah, Norm, I am [...]

While Dirty, D2 and Gnome rip it up in the Old Pueblo tonight, I thought I’d post a few links I had saved for a while. In the meantime, just got a text from Dirty: “the 40mph wind is killing me”. * Updated: 5:58pm (AZtime) DB posted to Facebook: “Sitting in my truck trying to [...]

For some reason, last year I went to the NAHBS in Richmond, VA (great show gents, great show), and never posted my pics. So, here, for your viewing pleasures, are some pictures from last year’s show to get you pumped and primed for this year’s show in Austin. For those of you going, have a [...]

I had more than one reason to hit up BICAS. So I did, and for the hundredth or so time up and down this coast I asked, “Do you have a 1″ threadless riser stem?” And, of course the answer was: “Check the bucket.” I could not believe my caliper reading. A rare rare item. [...]

Our good friends over at T.B.A.G. are putting on a fine little group ride this Friday. I would highly recommend this if you are in the greater Phoenix area. They are hitting up some quality establishments with some good distances between them. I won’t be there since i am committed to another little ride this weekend.  But [...]

I am not one of those girls that likes to get dressed up and go out to dinner on VD. I’d rather go ride bikes. So that’s what we did. We drove the 4 hours to Rays MTB in Cleveland. The park opens at noon on Mondays so we drove up early Monday morning with [...]
