Just when you think we are making progress towards all getting along on the streets, radio boneheads like ESPN’s Washington DC host Tony Kornheiser make stupid “jokes” like this to run down cyclists who get in your way:
Within hours of this broadcast, Lance Armstrong created a Twitter storm that resulted in a big mea culpa [...]
Though some may of thought there was a bike summit going on here in Austin, the tenth annual National Bike Summit was held this last weekend in DC. Here’s an overview from StreetsFilm.
Also, if you are attending SXSW Interactive, there will be a session today at 11 AM called Change the World, Lives, with Bikes [...]
This week the European Pro racing season kicked off in earnest with Paris-Nice, the Race for the Sun. With the race, comes the return of the play by play commentary of Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin and all their unique metaphors.

In addition to my framebuilding business, Violet Crown Cycles, there are only a handful of U.S. custom builders focusing on bicycles truly designed to replace cars as a valid transportation option.
