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 »

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 »
