Volvo may be a car company, but they are taking a stance on the trend (that’s here to stay!) of more bikes on the road. They want to do everything in their power to make their cars safe for passengers, but also for those outside of the vehicle including cyclists. The UK has seen bicycle…
I’m sure the White Line Trail in Sedona has been ridden by others, but not documented with a drone. The trail is on a nearly vertical rock face with life or death consequences if you were to slide your tire out or lose any sort of traction. Here’s the video evidence: Rider: Michal Kollbek Filmed…
The 2015 North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) is now a wrap! The show brought together frame builders, apparel companies, component makers and suppliers to the now thriving cycling town of Louisville, KY. The show certainly lit up my twitter feed with amazing photos of super interesting bikes and new products coming from passionate companies. A…
Much of the country is still digging out from snow or dealing with absolutely frigid temperatures. If you’re like me, bikes are now even more on my mind. I can’t wait for the warm spring temps and longer days ahead. One of the first signs of spring to come in the bike world is coming up…
Boston, Massachusetts is on track to have their snowiest and coldest winter on record. The city has seen almost 100 inches of snow since the start of the season and the majority of that total has fallen since the start of 2015. I grew up in the Boston area and it’s definitely engrained in my…
Did you catch the Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl that essentially slammed the work of the many 1,000s of craft brewers around the world? Well the folks at Hop Stories created a spoof of that commercial commending the hard work of the craft brewers and what these craft brewers are doing each and every…
In my day job many people know that I work on the global social media team for Whole Foods Market. I do reside in Colorado, but I make a monthly pilgrimage to Austin, TX which is home to Whole Foods’ world headquarters. Austin is a bustling small city in Texas that seems to have something…
Cyclists and motorists have a rather strained relationship in many cities in America. A group in Austin, Texas has taken upon themselves to try to do something about it. It’s simple and it’s called the wave and their group is called We Wave. Instead of sending a message to motorists with the one finger solute, try…
Whenever I have to explain what cyclocross to people that don’t know what it is, I usually have a hard time. It’s the steeplechase of cycling, then you get the “what is steeplechase?” question. It’s a combination of running and cycling, then you get the “so it’s like a triathlon?” question. Nope, that’s not it…
Hot off the press is the 2015 USA Cycling Cyclocross Nationals course map for the race coming up in January. I travel to Austin every month for work and I can attest that this will be a great venue for the race. Not to mention the weather in January is usually a complete crap shoot…
Danny is at it again this time aboard a mountain bike and a Santa Cruz Nomad at that! Check out this video as he returns to his home of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The film captures Danny riding the Cuillin Ridge which looks like it’s probably only accessed by foot. I wonder if Danny…
Yesterday the 2014 edition of Red Bull’s now clinically insane event, the Rampage took place again in Virgin, Utah. There was nothing virgin about the run the Andreu Lacondeguy put together for his win at the event. The livestream was extremely well done by Red Bull and definitely glad no one got hurt too bad.…
Aaron Gwin suffered a flat just seconds into his run on the UCI World Cup DH in Leogang, Austria, but that didn’t stop him from finishing. Sit back and watch Aaron take lines and somehow finishes his run unscathed!
