cyclo-nudistas

this happened over the weekend: bikers reclaiming the streets in Madrid.

bella donna

this is vera carrara on her way to winning the points race at the world track championships in LA back in march. she loves bianchis, and everyone knows i love them too (i have 3 and counting). any woman who likes celeste is a goddess in my book. sure... i think she's hot, but she could also kick my ass on the bike. i'm in love

race across iowa

last weekend was the trans Iowa bike race (think 300+ miles of riding on gravel roads and trails). here is a pic of my friend emily, #8 above, as she's taking her pull at the front of her group. way to go gf! she represented lincoln bikers well.

film fest

upcoming 5th annual bicycle filmfestival in nyc. still we ride is one of the films being premiered. i think i'll try to get some cheap plan tickets, would love to check that scene out.

Paris-Roubaix

the 'hell of the north' was run last sunday. imagine racing 160 miles over roads like this? a beaufitul race with lots of drama every year. draws thousands of crazy fans too. allez allez

Hanka on the catwalk

old italian steed

check out my new ride. its a late 70's Torpado road frame (hecho en italia ofcourse!) that i came across real cheap. its in pretty decent shape considering its probably 25 years old atleast. i built it up with parts from what i had lying around, the wheels are borrowed from my bianchi. i took the pics last friday when we had GREAT weather, it got up to like 60 degrees that day! but now.. we have snow. thats nebraska weather for ya.

more aussie stuff.

some pics from a recent critcal mass ride in melbourne. check out the cfsmtb blog to see what them aussie bikers are up to. meanwhile i'm enduring another cold icey nebraska winter.

i'm in love

lovely views from melbourne. i need to take a trip out there for the rest of the winter.
