My first experience with roll-on/roll-off train service occurred in the late 1990s on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad which runs from Cumberland to Frostburg, a 16-mile trip. I had pedaled a steel Bianchi mountain bike on alternate sides of the railroad tracks from Frostburg to Cumberland. It was a bumpy ride, thanks to all the ballast.

Fifteen million people, six million cars, gridlocked roads and air quality that's, well, let's say not like at home. Welcome to Bangkok, a metropolis of ever proliferating high-rises, shopping malls and motorways. A bicycle tour in such a city might seem foolhardy, even downright injurious to your health, but rest assured, there's a gentler side to Bangkok where you'll find trees, not traffic lights, wooden huts, not concrete towers, and that's when a bike makes the perfect companion. One of the first to cotton on to pedal-powered sightseeing was expatriate Dutchman Andre Breuer. He quit the corporate world to start… Full Story »

English Championships
Pinkbike.com &bull Aug 25, 2010
Regional Championships always pull the serious racers in with their lure of big points and the illustrious title for the following twelve months. Dry, wet, dry, wet, dry, wet... Yes, it was a weekend of changing tyres, getting soaked to the skin and covered in mud. Oh, and it dried up again for racing. Arriving to the track now is a very different experience to that of just twelve months ago when the hillside was covered in thick coniferous woodland. Now gone, this has changed the nature of the tracks from being super tight and technical with lots of scope… Full Story »

For the latter they invited friends to join them and six of us, all from Golden, BC, signed up.
