[The prize-winning flight,] which lasted 64 seconds and reached a maximum altitude of 3.3 meters… came at the very end of five days of test flights [at an indoor soccer stadium near Toronto], after which the space would no longer be available.
And it only cost $170,000 (or something like that). Looks like there are some issues still to work out.
It’s really quite simple as evidenced by this clip from stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse. You just do like Peter Sagan does and cross the finish line first. Easy, right?
The art in this video comes from Bicycle, a book published by Nobrow Press. The art is nearly 20 feet wide and it’s all about bicycles in London.
Inspired by the 2012 London Olympic Games, young artist Ugo Gattoni intricately illustrates a cycle race through the streets of London. From elite athletes to cycle couriers, commuters, bankers, delivery boys, mums with kids, youths on stolen mountain bikes to fashionistas and hipsters on fixed gear bikes – pretty soon you will realize this is no ordinary road race!
Fox riders Kirt Voreis and Tyler McCaul show the world just how good the mountain bike trails around Bend, Oregon are. And no, few of us will ride them this smoothly, but it’s still worth a try.
Sometimes cycling (like love) can be is a battlefield, but People For Bikes is hoping to remind both sides of the battle that things are better if we all just try to get along and Roll Together.
Need something to fiddle with on your iPad? And really, who doesn’t? Michael Embacher’sCyclopedia (which came out in 2011) has been updated to include much, much more cycle porn and may be exactly what you’re looking for, according to a post on Core77.
This new CYCLEPEDIA offers an expanded tour round many more of Michael Embacher’s unique personal collection of two-wheeled rarities. As before every bicycle is beautifully displayed via the app’s 360º spins, but now the zoom magnifications are in even higher resolution allowing you to compare and appreciate each machine’s fine detail, innovation and design more closely than ever. The new CYCLEPEDIA also brings you Sir Paul Smith’s personal collection of rare cycling Jerseys, plus unique movie clips in which Sir Paul entertainingly explains his lifelong passion for bicycles.
We still think this Wahoo RFLKT is still the best solution for those who feel they must use their iPhone as a cycling computer. We don’t, but you might.
If you’ve every thought about supporting a cycling Kickstarter project, Patrick Brady’sWhy We Ride project might just be the one to jump in on. Brady is raising money to fund the publication of a collection of his essays from his “soul of cycling” website Red Kite Prayer. The good news is he’s already reached his goal, but as he explains in the edit, there’s even more he’ll be able to do if more money is raised including but no limited to helping to pay some medical bills for his newborn baby. Watch the edit, and you’ll see exactly why this Why We Ride project would be a good one to be a part of.
After dealing with slew of terrible local bike shops (who wanted to keep our bikes for a week just to swap out a cassette) we ran screaming into the arms of the geniuses at Park Tool. Their tools, knowledge base, and support were astounding. We couldn’t be bigger fans. So it’s great d to see a little of the history behind the brand in this 50 Years of Park Tool edit. Another example of Midwest know how and doing it because it needed to be done.
