…but wishing I could be in two places at once, as long as the other one was Leadville Colo. Some quick links, then I gotta go RIDE! PinkBike has the rundown on the big Slopestyle course tomorrow. It may be tamer than last year, but that’s probably good. Too many crashes last year. Looking it [...]

Great idea from David Schloss at BikeHugger: International “Win for Susan” day, in memory of Susan Nelson, Fatcyclist.com’s wife, who died recently from cancer: “This happens to be the day of the Philly Livestrong Challenge. Wear your Fat Cyclist gear, LiveStrong bracelet or clothing, homemade signs, or other item to signify your personal fight against [...]

Lots of bike stuff going on in Seattle this weekend, including the Bike Smut/Cycle Porn yeah whatever premier of “Cycle Bound.” I admit to being totally clueless on this stuff. I looked at the previews and they’re not porn, they’re not erotic, they not even sexy, it reminds me of the old silent movies, where [...]

Boy…dog days of August. Not much news to round up! But here goes… Let’s start with the always reliable wakeup call, NAKED CYCLISTS! Usually naked riders in Seattle paint themselves…and this is probably why. My take: If a mother from Everett finds offense, she shouldn’t be comin’ to downtown Seattle. O my, the things you [...]

Houston Chronicle: The father of a driver accused of killing two bicyclists last summer urged Texas Gov. Rick Perry to veto a bike-safety “3-feet-please” bill. Perry did veto the legislation, although it’s unclear how much impact the father’s views had. Perry broke his collarbone riding a mountain bike recently, so it’s not like he’s anti-bike [...]

Ibis has announced a 6-inch version of its killer Mojo carbon fiber frame. The geometry is slacker but I can’t imagine a ton of difference between this and the 5.5-inch Mojo, other than weighing half a pound more. Both still spec’d with air shocks. So where’s the weight diff? I’ll be intrigued to see one [...]

In the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, a car driver took out two cyclists in a classic dooring incident. I was just thinking the other day how lucky I am never to have gotten doored. Then I almost got doored twice in three days… (Thanks to MyBallard.com) In Ottawa, a minivan took out 5 cyclists in [...]

The Tour de France is enjoying a rest day, but bloggers never sleep. Bloggers never sleep because, as mainstream media constantly remind us, we work in our pajamas. Until someone comes up with a new form of sleepwear, bloggers can consequently have no rest. Neither will Andy Schleck, my man in this year’s Tour and [...]

Kudos to Cyclelicio.us for picking up on this: In Colorado, of all places (mountain and road biking both are hugely popular there), Jefferson County commissioners have some cloth-eared notion of banning bikes on any and all county roads. Richard asks we help spread the word and nip this stinker in the bud. Here’s some key [...]
