Fresh Goods Friday 152
Singletrack Podcasts &bull Feb 3, 2012
The Orange Five has been an incredibly popular trail bike for the past couple of years, with heritage dating back even longer. This is the Diva model; as the name suggests it's meant for smaller sized women, with an extra small 14 seattube for masses of standover and two top-tube lengths available. It's refreshingly free from twee colours and flowery detail, being finished in the subtly sparkly 'white cherry' paint. The Reynolds 6061 T6 aluminium monocoque swingarm and downtube are matched to butted top and seat tubes, with an integrated 1.125-1.5 taper headtube. Travel… Full Story »

Tired legs 50K
Up in Alaska &bull Jan 29, 2012
The alarm rang out at 5:15 a.m., which was of course about three and a half hours after I finally fell asleep. I glanced over at Beat, hoping he didn't hear it, or maybe he would decide sleep was worth skipping the race today. No such luck; he groaned and rolled out of bed, so I made a move to do the same. My legs hit the carpet with an audible thud that seemed to say, "Um, you're not really going to go through with this, are you?" It will be over before you know it." You know that, right?"… Full Story »

Creating 'The Most Bicycle Friendly City in America' ... In Southern California - The Atlantic Cities
Google Cycling news &bull Jan 26, 2012
There have been numerous studies that show how adding a new lane to a freeway or road has the opposite effect than what was intended. Rather than easing congestion (which it does only briefly), the new lane merely creates more room for more cars, and quickily induces even more congestion. This same principle applies to bicycle traffic, though in a slightly different way. Few cities - and even fewer American cities - struggle with bike traffic congestion. Rather, what more and more cities find themselves struggling with is a lack of bike traffic. They want more bicyclists on their streets.… Full Story »
