These days, I’m pretty obsessed with CX. In fact, I’ve got my first race of the season coming up this weekend, and I’m hoping my on-again off-again commitment to training pays off. But there’s no better way to stay motivated than by watching other racers power through a course, and […]
We have spent hours of searching YouTube and other video services for funny bike videos. More hours than we care to admit–especially when we were supposed to be really nailing that last interval. But, hey, a little downtime never hurt anyone, right? So here we’ve got our top 20 favorite […]
If you’re hungry for goulash and stories on mechanical doping, 60 Minutes has your bases covered this Sunday. They go all the way to Budapest to talk with the Hungarian designer of secret bike motors who claims these motors have been used in the pro peloton since 1998. Istvan Varjas […]
This year’s Tour de France has been more inclusive than ever, thanks to Velon and GoPro’s commitment to putting us inside the race. Not only are we seeing the race from the peloton’s point of view, we’re also seeing more in-ride stats . . . because just when you’re starting to […]
Trailing the big dogs by five seconds and separated by millions in funding and sponsorships, the US Olympic Women’s Track Cycling team are clear underdogs from the outset of this documentary. Set against the 2012 disgrace, *cough* Armstrong *cough*, and rampant doping admissions that decimate the men’s road cycling field, Dotsie […]
This year, we’ve got plenty of great women’s bike races to watch–with a few new ones added to the calendar to get stoked about. Watch and learn which races we’re excited to watch in 2015, and be sure to let us know what you’ll be tuning in for . . […]
With our foray into the world of Instagram (hello 2012!), we’re experimenting with some video projects. And if you know anything about Instagram video, you also know that each clip is limited to 15 seconds. So we took on the challenge, and we’re happy to introduce “Insta-Reviews.” Our first in […]
My dad was a preacher. Yup, true story. He would often tell me just how silly superstitions are. That luck or chance didn’t exist. As a result, I don’t believe in superstition. I only hug and kiss my kid before every ride because I love her. I only say exactly […]
I happened across the newest video from the fellows at GCN that details exactly what you should pack for a bike ride. And like any good cyclist, I promptly disagreed with their extensive packing list. Call it the difference between Brits and Americans, or just plain bike snobbery, I had […]
A few new installments this week of videos from behind-the-scenes of the pro peloton (women’s and men’s). While you’re hammering out the hours on the trainer (foggy roads there too? bleh), you can pass the next 15 minutes, more or less, with these three looks at what the pros do […]
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 […]
