I’m not much of a car person–hence all the bike related stuff–but when a car show showcases a Pinarello Dogma F8, I pay attention. On this week’s episode of Top Gear, the third episode of season 22, Richard Hammond gushes over and rides the fully featured, super light “£9,000” Pinarello. […]
If you’ve ever been in a pack of riders, you know that crashes can happen in a split second. But even more amazing is a cyclist’s ability to steer clear of downed riders with just moments to react. Jeremy Roy of team FDJ caught some crazy footage during Stage 4 […]
I have a confession to make. I hate losing. My coach could always get me to swim an extra 500 by pitting me against my best friend. If I was clinging to a wall, all she’d have to say was, “Are you gonna let her get ahead of you?” And […]
If you’ve never felt jealous of a pro rider, prepare to go green. Rapha’s, the cycling clothing giant, account manager gives us a look at all the gear they send to Team Sky for the 2015 cycling season, and the aerial view of the Sky warehouse is slightly mind-blowing. Take […]
One more week. One more week. One more week till Christmas! What better way to get you more anxious about that new bike gear waiting for you under the tree than to watch a professional cyclist ride around and ring bells to the tune of an old familiar Christmas carol. […]
There’s just something about Tuesdays that makes the weekend feel so distant. If Mondays suck, Tuesdays are just a reminder of how much of the work week is left before that long Saturday ride. So, to liven up the day, I’ve chosen some of the finest videos YouTube has to […]
So if you’re like me and you’ve been riding the trainer the last few days, it gets a bit old without something to distract you from staring at the wall. And until Zwift officially releases their trainer-centric races (yah, I’m pretty stoked about it too), I’ve been watching my way through […]
At some time or another, we’ve all made a poor choice on the road, or gasped as we watched cyclists run red lights, ride across crosswalks, or take the wrong lane. I, for example, was once forced onto a sidewalk by a combo of road work, traffic, and unfriendly traffic […]
Before Jens Voigt could tell the hour to officially shut up, he had to get all the details just right. Now you can go behind-the-scenes to watch just what went into his historic attempt at the hour record including details about his special Trek Time Machine track bike. Listen to […]
Now known officially as “shut up hour,” Jens Voigt gets busy during his new retirement years by attempting to break the hour record currently held by Czech rider Ondřej Sosenka (49.700 kilometers or 30.8821 miles if Google’s calculations are correct). You can watch him attempt this feat on the track today […]
If you’ve raced a criterium before, you’ll probably find this video slightly familiar. If you haven’t, or you’re considering racing a crit, this will give you a great idea of what to expect (although, if you’re starting out as a Cat 5, things shouldn’t quite be this fast–but maybe this […]
I believe it was Jonathan Vaughters who said that crashing on a bike is like driving down the road at 40 miles per hour, rolling down the window, and jumping out wearing nothing but your underwear. Seems like an apt description. Well the folks at Scott are aiming to do […]
In a cycling world where helmets were never normal, but down tube shifters were, Greg Lemond became the very first American to win The Tour de France. Add to this fact that he did so without much help from his teammate, 5-time Tour winner Bernard Hinault. Despite promising LeMond that […]
What could be better than redlining in the middle of a peloton for a few hours and then digging deeper to sprint toward glory at the end of the day? But you can’t reach the top step of that podium without taking the first step–deciding to race on the road! […]
