TdF Halfway Point ? Havoc, Mayhem, Carnage

When it?s over, it will be very hard for anyone to discuss this 98th edition of the Tour de France, without mentioning the numerous, high profile, and wild crashes that have marred the first half of this year?s contest. Not only has there been an extremely high number of riders hitting the deck, but there [...]

Product Spotlight: Chico Bag

Today's featured product is the packable, versatile ChicoBag.

 This bag expands to the size of a typical plastic grocery bag (15" x 17" not including handles).

This small yet mighty piece in the touring arsenal is most useful for transporting goods from mercantile to camp and packing out refuse when onsite garbage disposal is not available.  

Machine washable and rated for a 25 lb capacity, the bag itself weighs a mere 1.5 oz!


The ChicoBag compresses into its own stuff sack with carabiner and drawstring closure.


Let's all make the effort to maintain the reputation of cycletourists as the cleanest tourists on (and off) the road.

Tour de France, Stage 2- How Do They Do That?

55,645 Kilometers Per Hour! That?s 34.6 miles an hour. That?s the AVERAGE speed of Garmin-Cervélo in the short 23-kilometer (14.3 mile) Team Time Trial contested on the streets of Les Essarts, France on Sunday. Team RadioShack, just 10 seconds back, were close to that speed as well. Given the perfect convergence of a bunch of [...]

?Plebgate? seems to have brought out the cycling ?haters??

I can?t say that I?ve been following the Andrew Mitchell story especially closely but from what I gather the Government Chief Whip appears to have come across as a boorish, short-tempered snob. Oh and that, for one particular reason, he?s inherently evil. Forget his alleged repeated use of the F-word or his supposed refering to [...]

Wiggle New Forest 100 Sportive 2012 ? Saturday

I have been somewhat spoilt lately, in that my last two sportives have been local.  I’d forgotten the horror of the 4:10am alarm call, the chill of getting dressed before the heating has woken up, the joys of loading up the car in the dark and the wet… *shudder*.  I was so out of practice [...]

Klöden or Horner Could Win Tour of the Basque Country

Today?s 4th stage of the Vuelta Ciclista al País Vasco, Tour of the Basque Country in Spain, was predicted by many to be the decisive battle in the mountains that would reveal the one or two riders that could stomp down on the field and make this race their own. And while it was dramatic [...]
