How to Ride Mud
by Bill Strickland I made a lot of blunders at the Mercer Cup U.S. Gran Prix cross race. First, I raced. (As everyone who’s tried it — and loved it — knows, cyclocross is a muddle wrapped in a mistake inside an mistake. Classicists, by which I mean those who preach the step-through dismount, often compare cross to the siren daughters of Achelous, but in the internet age I suppose more people will understand the sport if it’s described as the two-girls-one-cup of bike racing: Spiritually, emoti

High cost of Seattle area commuter railway and bike trail
Officials who want to build a commuter railway and bicycle trail on the abandoned BNSF railroad in Seattle's Eastside suburbs might be suffering sticker shock today. A report estimates the cost for the 42-mile corridor at between $1 billion to $1.2 billion for the railway alone between Renton and Woodinville. The cost of the 34.4-mile parallel bicycle / pedestrian trail is put at between $245 million to $359 million, or $7.1 million to $10.4 million per mile. That's too much, says the Casc

Pedalers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. Published November 19, 2008 by Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — Pedalers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. If you've ever been riding down the road and had your pants cuff ripped asunder, there may be a revolution at hand.

A Healthy Pastime - Gardening
By Gary Pearson When most people think of exercise, they think of things like jogging, aerobic dancing, weight lifting, or stationery cycling. Gardening is not usually even considered when it comes to exercise - but it should be. Gardening is a great form of healthy exercise, and it has the extra added bonus of being a productive undertaking. Instead of sitting on an exercise bike, pedaling and going nowhere, you are growing things! Various groups of muscle are at work at the time of gardenin

Woah! 195 pounds of clip-n-seal on an Xtracycle?
I was over at Bike Hugger this morning and came across this chilly article about a Xtracycle user who used his bike to transport 195 pounds of clip-n-seal to the post office. Here’s the video proof: This is impressive and makes me sorry it did not make it in the most recent Austin Bike Blog Contest. The article has some additional thoughts on how the Xtracycle performed as well as recommendations to improve the ride quality of the cargo bike. Related posts:Bakfiets versus Xtracycle: What’s t

Indoor Racing Update
Brought the cross bike up to the National Sports middle artificial turf and tested things out. It’s just like riding on grass except it seems like you can corner a lot harder without slipping. I also tested out a rear wheel lock up to look the impact on the turf and I found no evidence of damage. It’s a massive room, almost 15,000 square feet. Plenty of room to have a good racing course. If my contact at the NSC gives me the green light then I think we will be every systems go for an indoor se

Have It Your Way
BMW says it will make customizing the Lo-Rider concept easy as Toaster Strudel if the bike ever reaches the market. The new Lo Rider concept is a totally bitch'n bike revealed in Milan earlier this month. It's leading the way in the BMW Motorrad tradition but going far beyond the familiar. If the Ghost Rider were German, he would probably ride this bike. With its liquid cooled, highly responsive flat-twin "Boxer" engine, 17-inch wheels, twin petal-type brake discs, USD fork, Paralever

"Last minute nomination: The Tempest, 431 Natoma St. An impossible combination of hardened winos, too chilly for school bike messengers, and Chronicle employees drinking away their dwindling paychecks before heading out to their homes in the suburbs. The self-righteousness of the two latter categories is only aggravated by the uncomfortable pathos of the former. Bonus points for reeking of fried food from their lunch service (but they don't serve dinner, except for some steam table hot dogs on Mo

5.1 Surround Sound Goodness
The bike comes flying on to the screen from stage left, the engine roaring, and in an instant the sound runs, swirling from right to left, from speaker to speaker in a rush of excitement… And it’s memorizing… captivating… and highly addictive… Because it’s the first time I’ve heard the 5.1 surround sound mix from a Twist The Throttle episode… The last forty-eight hours have been an energizing experience even though I’ve been cooped up in the back of an audio post production room that’s tucke

Bike Hero video is a “fake”
Click here to view the embedded video. Well, it’s real, but not done by some random kid. According to Creativity Online, it was ad agency Droga5 and a production company named Smuggler who created the video on Activision’s behalf. A quick check of Droga5’s client list confirms that Guitar Hero World Tour is among those brands the firm services. [GameCyte]
