7 Steps to Pain-Free Cycling

I'm proud to say, I've been pretty comfortable in the saddle in my years so far of road riding, save some hand numbness on occasion (partially because a shoulder surgery has set me up with a slightly shorter [...]

Copenhagen Wheel – Turns Regular Bike Into Smart Electric Hybrid

Check out the 2010 James Dyson Award Competition US Winner — the Copenhagen Wheel, a wheel that turns a regular bike into a smart, electric hybrid.

Detroit’s Abandoned Velodrome

Saw this the other day on Chapel Hill's cool like bike shop (and Tri-Cyclist sponsor). In the 70's and 80's, Detroit had a velodrome — an outdoor banked bicycle racing track, this one made of asphalt. The thing was abandoned in the late 80's, or early 90's. What a shame.

Specialized Technology Dominates 2010 Tour de France

As quite the Specialized fanboy, it was very nice to see so much Specialized technology being featured and prevailing in this year's Tour de France. Congrats to Specialized for continuing to get their name out there, and obviously they're doing something right to get such a great set of athletes riding and using their products — [...]

How Does Diet Soda Cause Weight Gain?

Man, maybe I need to lay off the Coke Zero *shudder*. I've been riding pretty much daily, but maybe I need to switch to just water to see how much of a change this will have. I think August will be a month of nothing but water and my sports drinks when training. I'll post back [...]
