- Only in bike racing can you go crash over a stone wall and down a cliff at 30+ MPH, possibly die, and then just climb back up the ledge and get back on your bike and rejoin the race.
- If you quit watching pro bike racing because of doping, then you missed this. @rusty_woods is more than reason enough to keep watching. He’s part of why I don’t give up on the sport.Michael Woods on his emotional win in stage 17 of the Vuelta. 'I wanted to win so bad for him, and I did.'
00:00 - This is how I expect to die. Riding my bike, doing everything right, and being hit full on from behind by someone texting.
- Just passed dad of the year on a tandem with his special needs son in the front. He’d rigged the bars so he could steer from the stoker spot and the kid was yawping with the kind of joy that only comes from riding bikes. I’m dead now and will be crying the rest of the way home.
- Cycling friends: if a rider is banned for life for doping, you should help enforce that ban if you care about clean sport. Don’t follow them, don’t retweet them, don’t report on them, don’t consume their media, don’t hire them as coaches. Support and participate in the ban.
- I was wondering if this moment happened, since the race coverage didn’t show their interaction after the line. A rivalry with respect where everyone wins, fans especially.
- No, they can’t.The best cyclo-cross bikes can provide the difference between a mid-pack finish and that elusive podium top-step. The increased braking power, lower weight, better gear ratios and improved traction can all add up to some serious performance gains. cyclingnews.com/features/best-…
- I am drunk on my front porch and I have a front porch and I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy in my entire life.
- Is there any way to get around the fact that Strade Bianche is effectively the gravel world championships, no matter what other races call themselves, or what people think gravel should or shouldn’t be? Is there a better dirt road race field assembled at any other event?
- I’ve come up with what I think is a really good solution for people upset about the UCI creating gravel races: You don’t have to do them. There, I fixed it.
- Unpopular take: the people crawling over the finish line at the marathon don’t look like heroes to me or demonstrations of perseverance against adversity. They look like unprepared bad planners whose combo of ego and insecurity lead to overpacing and failure.
- In case your timeline needs something nice in it, Flynn got his first drop bar bike today.
