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 […]
Andry Amador is kind of a big deal. He wore pink in the Giro; he rides a pretty fancy Canyon; he goes fast. He also lives in Costa Rica where the Spanish speaking is fast and furious. Hence, the release of a new video showing Amador whiz by a cop on […]
—Warning! Spoilers ahead!!!— Chris Froome Runs up Mont Ventoux in Cleats Due to super cool conditions (like hypothermic stuff) at the summit of Mont Ventoux, Tour de France officials moved the finish line of Stage 12 down 6km or so. What wasn’t so cool was the barrier-free chaos of crowds […]
The Tour de France is an arduous journey over thousands of miles. Riders expect to feel the pain of climbing, attacking, sprinting. One thing they don’t expect is inflatable banners falling on them with 1km to go. Adam Yates made some unfortunate history as he had gapped the peloton and […]
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 […]
Apparently, if you’re not cycling in 360 degrees, you’re not cycling. At least that’s what some random rider yelled as he passed me last week . . . right before he popped into a curb as he gestured to the circular camera on his helmet. It’s mean, but I laughed. […]
Imagine degreasing, washing, drying, lubing ten or more pro bicycles every single night. This after you’ve spent the majority of your day stuffed in the backseat of a sedan with racing wheels at your sides and on your lap while you follow the peloton. At times, you jump out of […]
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 […]
