This Hitler clip is old and tiring and beat, but we just can’t stop laughing at all the clever ways everyone has jacked it up. Our laughter today comes on the heels of a “slow Sunday” group ride in which several KOMs were nailed down by the leaders. So, yeah, we found this one funny.

The one and only time we interviewed Greg LeMond he was recovering from a turkey hunting accident. He wasn’t back on his bike yet. Ever since then we’ve wished we could just roll with him for a minute or too. But then, seriously, who hasn’t dreamed of rolling out of Carson City, Nevada and taking a spin up Monitor Pass with Greg LeMond? The Rapha crew did and they made a video. Nice of them.

Who said cross country racers were soft? In this clip the spandex clad cyclists of this event handled their mid-race disagreements like real men. Well, at least the guy who threw the punch did. After that it appears everyone returned to racing.

We’re have no intention of turning this site into a collection of bike harassment videos, but here’s one more. It has taken over a year for assault charges to be brought against the driver of the truck that takes out cyclist Evan Wilder in this video (action starts at 1:09). The driver, John Diehl, is a former Washington D.C, Police officer, according to a story on Go Bike Md.
The case languished for more than nine months after the collision, with no charges brought against the truck’s owner, John Diehl, because officials had been unable to serve a judicial summons on him. After being informed by a reporter of a bench warrant for his arrest in the case, Mr. Diehl turned himself in and was indicted last month on four criminal charges from the August 2011 incident.
The maximum penalty for the charges brought against Diehl are up to three years in jail and a $3,000 fine. Neither of which the man will likely receive but we sincerely hope his “genius ass” gets a good firm spanking.
[Editors’ Note: It appears that this may not be Mr. Diehl’s first time in the media spotlight or in court. According to the Washington Post in 1994 a Washintong DC police offer named John Diehl fired 11 bullets into the car of an unarmed driver, luckily killing no one.]

In our neighborhood this entire altercation would have escalated to blows with in 10 seconds, but in England, apparently, politeness still rules the day. Even when a cyclist was nearly run off the road by an Audi driver who believed he had the right to move into the lane. Oh, Britannia, Britannia rules the lanes.

Hey look! More mountain biking from mountain bikers. This time is Steve Peat and Josh “Ratboy” Bryceland doing their thing on the 2013 Santa Cruz Chameleon. For the record, we don’t mind dirt jumping as long as there are no tail whips and/or flipping tricks (or TBCs). ‘Cause those just look dumb on mountain bikes.

When Superstorm Sandy hit New York City on October 29, 2012 did Casey Neistat stay indoors as Mayor Blumberg suggested? Hell no. He loaded up his cameras and headed out on his bike to record the evening for history. And truthfully he got some of the best storm footage we’ve seen so far.
