10 places to get cycle clothing cheap!

With summer around the corner and what looks like a good start to spring, renewing last sessions cycling kit or replacing mislaid cycling kit is a must, even if you do have a club kit. Cycle clothing is very expensive in my opinion, the opportunity to get a bargain is a plus, like the gore cycling top I bought the other day with 50% of, was originally £54.00. There are always special offers on; some go unnoticed unless you happen to be browsing for cycling gear at the time, other cycling retailers issue discount codes which can be used in store or some exclusively online.

The Morning?s Half-Stage at De Panne

Team RadioShack?s Michal Kwiatkowski (POL) hung tough today in cold, wet conditions to take 7th place in a furious bunch sprint finish to the 111-kilometer half-stage of the 3 Days of De Panne. With the unusual two event closing day format, like the Criterium International, this first half-stage started early and was over by [...]

Riding Socially

The truth of the matter is that I'm a shy person. I'm a friendly person, I'm just shy. I feel nervous around new people, and it takes me awhile to think of things to say. Sometimes I blurt out really awkward things at first, just to top it all off. Needless to say, doing the traditional things new friends do isn't that appealing to me: sitting around over a cup of coffee trying to think of conversation topics is basically a fate worse than death.


Bike rides are another story. For me, social bike rides are perfect for making new friends. Ideal for groups or duos, the bike ride really is, in my opinion, the perfect social outing. Everyone can enjoy being outside, chatting as they feel like it, and reveling in their mutual adoration of the bicycle. At least you know you have that in common!


There are a few things to keep in mind when you're going on a social ride. Try to pick an area that's not super trafficky, so you can ride close to your friends and talk to them. Ride at a conversational pace that everyone can savor. Social rides aren't the time to show off how hard you've been training, by dropping your new buddies while you ride away laughing.

I'm sure lots of you have social riding hints. Let me know what they are!

Amgen Tour of California ? The Day After

The only thing bad about the Amgen Tour of California, with it’s beautiful scenery, world-class competition, excellent organization and stage selection, is that every year…it has to come to an end.  For a rabid cycling fan, the worst day of most big stage races is the day after it’s concluded.  You wish it could go [...]

Recap at The Giro?s Halfway Point

Today marked the 10th stage of this year?s 3,525 kilometer (2190+ mile), 21-stage Giro d?Italia.

Brighton Rocks!

Last Sunday I took part in the London to Brighton bike ride for the British Heart Foundation alongside 28,000 other cyclists. It was 54 miles of laughter, bike traffic, bell ringing, music and food, and despite the occasional showery outbursts and the very slow exit from London, I loved every second (even the nasty climb [...]
