Nice folo from VeloNews on the Trek-LeMond settlement. You have to read between the lines here. From the judge’s questions, it looked virtually certain that Lance’s doping suspicions would be raised in the trial (Lance’s ex was barred by her attorney from answering questions during deposition about his doping). That would have put Trek under [...]

The recent passing of Bernie Hoffacker, founder of Palo Alto Bicycles, rekindled a lot of memories from our roadie days back in the ’70s.

Boise mountain biker has a campaign supporting an MTB license plate (for cars). Hey I’d pay extra. As it is my license plate holder says, “My other car is a mountain bike.” You know, it takes a special kind of hatred to kill a bicycle shop owner.

It was another listless day in the peloton today, but in one respect that may be a good thing. So far this Tour has been remarkable in one instance (and one only): No doping violations have been announced.
