(Unpublished) Winter Training | Rapha
The road to a successful winter of riding is paved with good intentions, but inevitably so is the road to idleness. The manual I have says, “to see yourself as the cycling maestro that you have always dreamed of becoming […] do the training”.

Bike race expected to bypass Solvang
"At this point, it's a very low chance" that the race will return in 2012, City Manager Brad Vidro said, unless representatives of race promoter AEG Sports can't find another city that can afford to host the race's time-trial stage.
"They really don't have the capacity to reduce the (financial) requirements considerably," Vidro added.
"They're just struggling. Costs are high, and they're in it to make money." (www.syvnews.com) -

A Closer Look At UCI Standings
But a rider does not accumulate all the points throughout the rolling calendar. Though all the World Cup and Championship points are used, only the best six results from Class 1 (C1) events, the best five results from Class 2 (C2) events are part of the calculation. For men junior’s class, the best 6 results are used. (www.podiuminsight.com) -

A look inside Oregon State's bicycling and driving simulator laboratory
"This is the only lab in the country where you can run a live subject on a bicycle and a live subject in a vehicle and get real time user performance response simultaneously."

Rolland looking forward to Grand Colombier at 2012 Tour de France
I kept noticing how tireless Rolland seemed while he was working for Voeckler. Day after day, he almost seemed bored giving everything for his team leader. Very cool to see him rip Alpe d'Huez apart. I'd love to see what he could do if he was completely unleashed.
“It’s a really nice stage, the Grand Colombier is very, very hard,” Rolland said at the presentation of the Tour route in Paris. “It’s one of the hardest cols in France in terms of gradient, and that’s really going to be one of the key stages of the Tour.”

Though new to the Tour de France, the Grand Colombier is the key difficulty of the Tour de l’Ain in August, and Rolland is hopeful that his experience of that race will pay dividends next season.
“It will be a great stage, because there aren’t too many riders who know that climb well. I’ve ridden it several times at the Tour de l’Ain and it’s really very hard,” he said. -

Jonathan Page - Somewhere Between Vegas and Prague, the Season Gets Under Way
A good description of what kind of travel is involved in being an international pro crosser.
Franky, my friend and mechanic, flew in to meet us and pit for me at the races. Despite being psyched for Vegas, I didn't do well. Most things that could have gone wrong for me did. But I was happy to have the very first ’cross race of the season over with. I packed everything up and, on September 16 (my birthday), Cori, her mom, and our three children flew to Belgium so the kids weren't too late for the start of the school year. Franky, Kelsey Bingham—a good up-and-comer on the women’s circuit—and I flew to Seattle, stop No. 2 of my mini tour of the States. I finished third twice there. I'll take that. I also got to stay with my friends the Kirskes, and I learned a few breakdance moves from Todd Herriott, my trainer. After three days in Seattle, I packed the bikes up again and flew to race in St. Louis, where I was third yet again.

Bakses and Bakses! Trying the Bakfiets.nl and the Christiania 2-Wheeler
Great review of Bakfiets.nl 2-wheel cargo bikes. If you haul kids or lots of heavy stuff, these might just be for you.
The box includes a folding bench with two sets of seatbelts and optional cushions. This can be removed if you plan to transport cargo and not children.

John Kovachi - Bike Builder, Racer Remembered
But you never had to be first across the finish line to be number one in John Kovachi’s eyes, said Hatfield. All it took was determination, good sportsmanship and a willingness to give it your all for Kovachi to give you a pat on the back and a leg up in the form of a bike tune-up, prized Kovachi logo stickers, a trademark bright yellow and hot pink colored team jersey, or for those who had the moxie a full sponsorship.

"If you were riding Kovachi Wheels you were riding the best," added Hatfield. "And he helped so many people achieve their best in the sport of BMX and in life.” -

Cannondale x Junk Food Clothing Custom Bad Boy Commuter Bike
A rigid left on a bad boy. This thing is awesome. If it only came in road geometry, I'd totally have one.
“Our inspiration came from the name Bad Boy,” said Mike Palermo, Creative Director, Junk Food Clothing. “The vintage motorcycle clubs were always the original ‘Bad Boys’ so we figured what better way to start than to create the Bad Boy Riders cycle club? From there, we were able to pull a stripped back vintage color palette and add amazing custom vintage leather, a Junk Food tool bag and a frame bag.”
