Team RadioShack, just 10 seconds back, were close to that speed as well. Given the perfect [...]

Cycling ? Best Form of Commuting?

Nice story on Bike radar – how cyclists commuting into Los Angeles were quicker in getting to work than a specially chartered plane carrying commuters. Bike v Plane My personal commute from door to office (school). Distance 2.6 miles bicycle – 11-13 minutes (11 is quick, 13 minutes is steady. A steady ride means no sweat. An 11 minute commute means a quick Italian shower (i.e. spray of deodorant). This time involves stopping at all red lights! Bus – 25 minutes – (7 minute walk, 5 minute wait, 15-17 mins bus ride). Even if I started at same time as bus from bus stop, it’s still quicker because the bus gets stuck in traffic, has to make frequent stops. Walking – never tried. But, I’m sure it’s long time. Car – 18 minutes. In the rush hour the car is slower than a bicycle because of the traffic jams, that a bike can beat. Also, you have to spend time parking in multi-storey carpark. Though the real disadvantage of the car is paying £9 parking for a day. (And I think it’s a great idea to make parking so expensive) Cycling is by far the quickest and cheapest mode of [...]

Survivors win stage and hold yellow in Tour de France

Just when it looked like the HTC-Columbia cycling team had been lost in the mass sprint, Mark Cavendish emerged from behind Mark Renshaw to win his fourth stage at the Tour de France on Sunday.

American Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Cervelo) was gaining on Cavendish at the finish, but he didn't have enough distance left to beat him. In interviews after the race, the Wenatchee, Washington, sprinter was clearly disappointed.

Meanwhile, France's Tom Voeckler finished in the peloton to survive another day in the yellow jersey. Certainly he'll lose it in the Alps next week, but that's what everything thought would have happened already in the Pyrenees.
Speaking of survival, Cavendish was luck to be in the stage at all ....
