We don’t have to worry about snow when we ride, but we do have the occasional interaction with drivers who believe they own the road. It is great to see the level of interaction in the East. An showdown like this in Southern California would likely result in two people being shot and or killed. But out East, it’s just a conversation on the road.

This sentimental clip may not do much to help change the minds of the angry drivers we all deal with on a daily basis, but it is worth watching and passing on to others who might be swayed. Please be safe, aware, courteous, and share the road.

We catch ourselves looking down on other people nearly every time we ride our bikes, but Benny Zenga really is looking down on everyone from such great heights.

Okay. It appears that when we told you to mark your calendars, save the day, and start training for the 2014 running of the Spy Belgian Waffle Ride someone at BWR headquarters didn’t realize that April 20, 2014 was actually Easter Sunday. Not exactly a great day for a 200k+ “Hell Of The North County” race. So, organizers have pushed the event back to April 27, 2014. But it’s still starting at Spy’s World Headquarters in Carlsbad, California.
Be ready for over 10,000 vertical feet of knee blasting climbs, dirt roads, creek crossing, river fording, and bone jarring, frame cracking descents all while winding through San Diego, California’s beautiful, yet perilous North County region. You have been warned. More info as it arrives.

As much as we hate to admit it, the mornings are getting colder and colder every day. While visitors to Southern California often remark about how we don’t “get the seasons” here, let us tell you we do feel them. That’s why occasionally we have to wear more than our race kits. GrindTV has a great overview of some of the things we all could use when the air begins to chill and the roads get icy.
. . . thanks to advancements in fabric and clothing design, temperature changes don’t automatically mean it’s time to pull out the indoor trainer. Consider adding these seven items to your kit drawer and you’ll be cool weather cycling long after the leaves fall.

While we agree 100 percent with their thesis, we’re not so sure we’re backing The Bailen Brothers musical execution.

Watch Hector Picard change a bike tire and you’ll never complain about another flat the rest of your life.

A film by Fredrik Gertten.
Climate change and the daily stress of being locked up in a car frustrate people more than ever. People in cities around the world take on the bicycle as a Do It Yourself tool for change.
This should be good.

We see no real purpose for the city bike. But even hardened as we are, we do admit to enjoying the smooth urban lines of the Pure Fix Cycles Bourbon. Like they say:
Our Bourbon is one smooth glass of class. Designed to effortlessly take you from Point A to Point B(ar), it’s ready to quench your thirst for riding, and give you a nice little buzzy feeling at the same time.
If we weren’t so dedicated to the segment, we might even take one of these little cruisers for a sip.
