hardcore

if i tried to ride like these guys i'd be eaten pavement for sure. here is another cool clip: the trailer for the bicycle film fest playing in london soon. i should have made a trip to nyc to check it out when it was there back in may. damn

erin's new fixed gear

another shot of erin's new ride. its a mid-80's converted road frame she got from matt (the guy in the pic below). she's riding it brakeless, so she makes the rest of us look like wimps.

chainline

stopped by c-works this afternoon and got to check out erin's new fixed gear. here is matt checking the chainline. i took it for a little spin and it was real quiet and smooth, the drivetrain was perfect.

girls that ride bikes are hot

having fun with kate on the critical mass ride

critical mass

went cruising through downtown with some peeps for the monthly critical mass ride. we didn't have alot of people, maybe 8-10 at the most but it was still fun. if you wanna join us, just meet up at the fountain on UNL city campus union, 5pm, the last friday of every month.

sprinters denied

yes the tour is over and Lance chalked up his 7th. i think it was his easiest win though, and overall the tour was kind of boring. Ullrich was too content being runner up year after year... oh well, but atleast guys like Vino here stirred thing up a bit. he made the finale interesting with a gutsy move in the final km's to take the stage win right under the nose of the sprinters. nice podium babes too!

road rash

yep, the Tour is on and I've been following it as usual. Stage 4 crash... a good example why a racer shaves his legs. I wonder how the race will be this year; either a boring 7th win for Lance (no, i'm not Lance fan), or a truely exciting race with some real attacking going on. I'm kind of hoping Vinokourov surprises everyone and wins it all.

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

cool blog

i like this guy's way of recycling stuff.

chainring mohawk

it appears it was a cold, but fun, monter track 2005 in nyc a few weeks back. check out the dude with the unique mohawk

Hanka on the catwalk

this is Hanka Kupfernagel of Germany, the women's world cyclocross champ. the pic is from a fashion show during a team presentation last week (in belgium). a fashion show and bikes? ya, thats what i thought. check it out.

berlin alleycat

messenger racing in berlin, (like anyplace else i gather) involves checkpoints. looks like a great time was had by all.

dibs...

vote for pedro

let's dance

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.
