Goodbye, lovely Daphny and your unforgettable plaits. I know many who will miss seeing you ride the mud.

I Am In Like With My Bike: One small ride for this... →
citystories:
It was one of those awkward stop signs where a bike turning right has to cross in front of a car, also turning right, to stay in the bike lane. We arrived at the stop sign at the same time, and since I had to cross in front of the car, I assumed he’d go first.
I turned to look…

Trainer Playlist
I have found myself clicking through most of my music library while on the trainer and not really settling into a good grove.
What’s on your trainer playlist?

Vivian Darkbloom - Know Your Exit →
Putting this up for some good friends of mine… Vivian Darkbloom released their first full-length album! I used to do some work for them while I was in college, booking and promoting and that sort of stuff. I went along with them on their first west coast tour, and my first time to California!
Anyways, the new record has totally blown me away, they sound fantastic, and their music has...

I got flipped off by a cyclist while driving my car today. I was at a stop, waiting to take a right hand turn on a green light, with my turn signal on. As a cyclist and a car owner I try to be aware of everyone on the road, and really don’t think I did anything to warrant his reaction. It’s riders like this guy that give the rest of us a bad name…

HRM
I suppose I ought to try training with a heart rate monitor. Which one do you use for training? Any recommendations? Should I just go ahead and get a computer? Now that I’ve actually got some goals for the season, and I’m not just winging it like last year, I figure I probably ought to pay a little more attention to these things…

Farm Life...
Here’s the thing, I didn’t grow up on a farm. We lived on a decent, 2 acre plot, with a nice house, and a little bit of woods. When I was in high school, my parents moved to a huge plot of land and built a house, which I lived in for maybe a year and a half. Since then we (read: they) have acquired tractors and farm equipment, a barn, pigs, and chickens. It’s kinda fun, and...

Police Finally Reveal Embarassing File in Mathieu... →
This is absolutely horrifying to hear, that the NYPD botched the investigation of this so badly, only perpetuating the “blame the victim” attitude when it comes to accidents involving cyclists, by assuming that the person must have been behaving recklessly.

Free Tickets →
Let’s talk about this guest list thing for a second….when is it ok, when isn’t it, and why I won’t always give my friends the hook up for free tickets. If you like the band that much, pay the 15 bucks.
Read the whole article, there’s some great points in there.

Pooley Calls On Women's Peloton To Unite →
“She put it quite bluntly but the UCI isn’t there to just ride on the back of the men’s sport, it’s also there to encourage cycling and women’s cycling, they should be encouraging it. You get a strong impression that it’s run by an old boys club,” Pooley told Cyclingnews.

Pow-Pow!
Last night I went to the first meeting with my new road team for this season…I’ll be racing for Pedal Power Training Solutions, being coached by the wonderful Sara Bresnick! I got to meet all the amazing women on the team last night and the first meeting of the season (11 girls running around the house was a riot, let me tell you…) and absolutely had a blast. Beer were had,...

This is probably my favourite story this week! Remember Specialized-lululemon cyclist Chloe Hosking called UCI President Pat McQuaid “a bit of a dick” because of his comments about women cyclists at the Worlds? Well, Cycling Australia have decided her punishment…...

Contrary to popular belief…the “big bad evil” of Ticketmaster isn’t really so bad. (Full disclosure, I work for a venue with a Ticketmaster run box office…) Try the big bad evil of scalper websites who sell tickets for hundreds upon hundreds of dollars over face value, and some of the time…not even providing valid tickets. Now who is ripping off the...
