How to Ride Mud

by Bill Strickland I made a lot of blunders at the Mercer Cup U.S. Gran Prix cross race. First, I raced. (As everyone who’s tried it — and loved it — knows, cyclocross is a muddle wrapped in a mistake inside an mistake. Classicists, by which I mean those who preach the step-through dismount, often compare cross to the siren daughters of Achelous, but in the internet age I suppose more people will understand the sport if it’s described as the two-girls-one-cup of bike racing: Spiritually, emoti

High cost of Seattle area commuter railway and bike trail

Officials who want to build a commuter railway and bicycle trail on the abandoned BNSF railroad in Seattle's Eastside suburbs might be suffering sticker shock today. A report estimates the cost for the 42-mile corridor at between $1 billion to $1.2 billion for the railway alone between Renton and Woodinville. The cost of the 34.4-mile parallel bicycle / pedestrian trail is put at between $245 million to $359 million, or $7.1 million to $10.4 million per mile. That's too much, says the Casc

Traffic Light Fixer for Bikes

An article in The New York Times quoted a study that found the vast majority of cyclists are scofflaws. Apparently it’s conventional for bikers to burn red lights and ride down streets the wrong way. As far as going the wrong way on a road—natural selection will cure that process—but when it comes to running reds, what do you expect? I cease and look, but it’s the same process I use when I’m walking down the sidewalk. Now someone’s cooked up a questionably legal way around the minor “run

Aprilia Unveils Official Livery

We had already posted pictures of the brand new Aprilia RSV4 World Superbike machine from the test which took place at Portimao, after the final round of WSBK (pictures here).

Pedalers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. Published November 19, 2008 by Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — Pedalers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. If you've ever been riding down the road and had your pants cuff ripped asunder, there may be a revolution at hand.

A Healthy Pastime - Gardening

By Gary Pearson When most people think of exercise, they think of things like jogging, aerobic dancing, weight lifting, or stationery cycling. Gardening is not usually even considered when it comes to exercise - but it should be. Gardening is a great form of healthy exercise, and it has the extra added bonus of being a productive undertaking. Instead of sitting on an exercise bike, pedaling and going nowhere, you are growing things! Various groups of muscle are at work at the time of gardenin

Woah! 195 pounds of clip-n-seal on an Xtracycle?

I was over at Bike Hugger this morning and came across this chilly article about a Xtracycle user who used his bike to transport 195 pounds of clip-n-seal to the post office.

Indoor Racing Update

Brought the cross bike up to the National Sports middle artificial turf and tested things out. It’s just like riding on grass except it seems like you can corner a lot harder without slipping. I also tested out a rear wheel lock up to look the impact on the turf and I found no evidence of damage. It’s a massive room, almost 15,000 square feet. Plenty of space to have a good racing course. If my contact at the NSC gives me the green light then I think we will be every systems go for an indoor s
