    Didn't 'Milli Vanilli' have to return their award as well?

    Some fun Coloradoisms: The best thing to ever leave Texas on its way to Colorado is an empty bus. When someone decides to leave Colorado to move to Texas, the average IQ of both states is increased but a little bit.

    Lance Armstrong - team manager/coach maybe?

    Lance has piles of money in the bank, a nagging investigation to try and beat, a flock of kids, a girlfriend he lives with, vacation homes in some of the nicest places in the US, and his cancer foundation. I would be surprised if he decided to live a life of travel. If he does, then his...

    Moron of the year!

    Rui Costa without a doubt. Initiating a fight and using a wheel as a shield / weapon. Total moron move!

    Cipo being Cipo

    Cipo's quotes are hilarious. I agree that the time for giving acolades to your competition is on the podium during the final presentation on the Champes. Armstrong had very kind words for Ullrich and Basso on the occasion of his first retirement. Like the guy or not, it was a classy...

    Holy Cr*p, the UCI did it (Contador)

    To quote Brer Rabbit, "Please, please, please don't throw me into that briar patch!"

    Another bike hit-and-run but this time with especially insulting DA attitude

    Thanks for the post. I found it absolutely disgusting. As a resident of Colorado, I have found this state to be much more cyclist-friendly than the Southeast, but this article makes me wonder. Anyone in Colorado is urged to join BicycleColorado. Membership is about $50 and the...

    Rollers: the diameter/resistance connection

    Physics: Force x Force arm = Resistance x Resistance Arm When on the rollers, the force and force arm are constants generated from the rider on the bike. The resistance arm is the radius of the cam of the roller. So, a cam of 4.5 inch diameter has a radius of 2.25 inches and a cam of...

    Breathing Inspiration

    The top two ribs are easily suppressed by the clavicals if the position on the bike is not optimal. If the clavicals are placing pressure on the top ribs, more effort is needed from the diaphragm and interscostals to fill the lungs. Achieving a position that aleviates pressure from the...

    Do longer legs = more power?

    Riders with longer legs can ride longer cranks. Longer cranks do provide a power advantage. If two riders are the same height & weight and one rider has longer legs, then he has an advantage. Upper body mass does not help propel the bike. The rider with longer legs typically has a larger...

    2011 cobbled season

    If Farrar can be in the final selection of any race with Thor leading him out they will be formidable. Both Garmin and Cervelo had good showings in 2009. Combining most of the best riders from each squad should prove to make the team a major factor in any and every race they enter with serious...

    What should Floyd do.

    Floyd should go about his life the way he wants, with the exception of making more of a scene than he has. His words have been heard by everyone who wants to listen and his testimony in the Armstrong case will also be heard (if he is called to testify). He has done his part to bring...

    Is the UCI's Biological Passport flawed?

    Yes, it is flawed. Every effort to control doping will have some flaws. The biochemistry of humans is too complex for any type of analysis to be perfect. In general, doping controls are always improving. In general, dopers are a half-step ahead of the controls. The tests for EPO and...

    Cyclocross Game

    'Cross bike polo 'Cross obstacle course short time trials (hurdle practice with a sand pit) Both are more fun with a beer for each goal or a beer for each lap!

    Airbag Helmet?

    Awesome post and awesome video! Most of us know someone who has lost their life in an accident with a car. It happens too frequently. True, the device in the video looks to be a little too bulky and probably too heavy to be considered for use by anyone other than the wary commuter...
