    Bike programs in Africa

    I live on a frontier where there are regularly hundreds of confiscated bikes. I have often thought of seeing how I could blag them out of customs (they are left to rot) and send them to Morroco which is only 20 miles away across the straits of Gibraltar.

    What are your favourite graphics on a road bike?

    Should Wiggins Ride the Tour this Year?

    Specialized Goes Nuclear

    I have said this on other forums. I refuse to buy anything Specialized. They bully LBS's limiting your range of choice and litigate against other companies. I am in the process of setting up my own bicycle brand and am toying with the idea of having the following disclaimer just for hell of...

    Bike programs in Africa

    Having visited Africa, the only way I can think of is to start a program to build bikes there using local labour and resources.

    Who works on their own bikes and who takes them to the LBS?!
