Safe Bicycling Streets: What Will it Take? - KCET (blog)
Google Cycling news &bull Yesterday
Los Angeles is a bike town in waiting. All the elements are there: year-round fair weather, relative flatness, big wide streets, insane traffic delays, the need for exercise in a city that lacks public parks and spaces. Studies show that 50% of trips made by car are less than 3 miles long. We know that not all of those trips are to carry lumber and tons of groceries. They're mostly trips to the movies, to get coffee, dinner, the book store, school, concerts - but how about a bike date with peanut butter n' jelly sandwiches in the park? The… Full Story »

Mountain Hardwear Alakazam Jacket Review
Feed the Habit &bull Yesterday
Mountain Hardwear has made quite the leap in the past year. They dropped all things Gore in favor of their own fabrics and materials.

Luckily, I've had this jacket for a year now, so I've had plenty of review time at this point. At Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2011, I was introduced to Mountain Hardwear's new fabric… Full Story »

Libertarian Environmentalism
Epic Riding. Epic Writing. &bull Yesterday
I was recently and disparagingly called a "libertarian environmentalist" because of my support for a free society, and my opposition to the SkiLink project. The term was used by a Utah Republican lobbyist who sees no problem with legislators of his persuasion bypassing existing law (at the behest of fellow lobbyists) to grant Talisker ownership of important, and public, land in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Perhaps he'd feel differently if Democrats were sponsoring the SkiLink legislation? Alas, partisanship and hypocrisy are redundant terms. Nevertheless, I suppose there is some truth in describing me as a "libertarian environmentalist", although I've never considered… Full Story »

Tech Tuesday - Steerer tube length
Pinkbike.com &bull Yesterday
Length is everything: Determining the correct fork steerer tube length is one of the most crucial tasks that can be done on a bike. Too long and you'll be forced to either use an excessive amount of headset spacers (an extremely long steerer could even be considered dangerous) or recut, but if cut too short you may be have to purchase a new crown and steerer tube assembly, an expensive proposition when you consider how expensive many forks have become. So, how does one figure out the correct steerer tube length? Measuring the bike's head tube and factoring in the… Full Story »
