Small Spaces.

Small Spaces. I like to compartmentalize things. Keep things in their orderly place and space.  The lines are clearly drawn, and the borders are not threatened.  I personally like to color coordinate my closet, and organize my flour and sugar containers in decreasing height.  What I wouldn?t do for a label maker. At times, compartmentalizing [...]

Proud To Be English

So there I was slowly cycling through centre of Oxford, minding my own business, when this group of bearded men suddenly appear out of no-where brandishing sticks and causing a frightful disturbance. Yes, it’s the old Morris Dancers’ and they put a smile on everyone’s face A bemused Ice cream seller looks on. Having chat round roundabout. The Cape of Good Hope, unfortunately blocked off by road works. I say, jolly nice day for cycle. We’re all in this together, you know. cheers some photos from Oxford cycling

TdF Stage 10 ? Klöden Well Positioned

A very hilly 158-kilometers (about 100 miles) of warm, humid conditions over 4 categorized climbs saw the peloton working hard today after Monday?s rest day, with the sprinters teams looking to neutralize any breaks to choreograph a bunch sprint finish. And that?s just what happened. It looked like HTC-Highroad?s well-honed sprint train would [...]

A Conversation with Greg Siple, Part 1: Historic Bikes and Books

One delightful benefit of interning in the publications department at Adventure Cycling Association is that one of my three coworkers is Greg Siple, art director and a co-founder of the organization. Whether he's sketching out an illustration for Adventure Cyclist, safeguarding the Bikecentennial archives, or directing placement of an antique bike around the office, Greg always has insight to share with staff and visitors.

To share some of Greg's stories with those who haven't had a chance to visit, I sat down with Greg in order to talk with him on camera about his projects for the organization.

Recently we were visited by two Italians on tour who were delighted (to say the least!) at the Legnano that hangs over your desk. What can you tell us about that bike?

How did the organization obtain adventurer Ian Hibell's bike?

What sorts of materials are in the Adventure Cycling Association library?

How do you see the organization using the library in the future?

If you're familiar with Greg, perhaps you realize there has been a large body of work noticeably absent from this discussion. Next week, Greg will talk about the collection of touring cyclists' portraits he's been amassing since 1982.
