CLIF BAR 2 Mile Challenge
www.peopleforbikes.org

Did you know that 40% of all urban travel in the U.S. happens within 2 miles of where people live? 90% of that travel is by car! Realizing the great opportunity to help fight climate change, CLIF BAR created a competition to see how many car trips could be replaced with a bike instead. It’s called the 2 Mile Challenge.

To highlight their commitment to bike advocacy and the fight against climate change in 2011, CLIF BAR is out to inspire people to avoid 100,000 car trips – and they are awarding $100,000 in grants along the way! All you have…

Friday Film Fun: Crowd Sourcing a Cargo Bike Documentary
by elliott            Austin on Two Wheels
Very shortly after I started this site, I got my first cargo bike, an Xtracycle Free Radical. At the time, we had a trailer for our kids that they were out growing, and the kit which converts most bikes to long tails with room for 1 adult or 2-3 kids seemed like a good idea. Shortly, I fell in love with its ability to carry lots of stuff and talk with my son and daughter as they experience the world around them. …

Cycling and other stuff
Don Bynum’s Blog
Several friends have pointed out that I have let them down by not providing much in the way of entertainment from my blog in the last few months.  It seems that some people get a laugh out of reading about the suffering of others.  If one’s character is known by that of one’s friends, I guess I am in trouble.

The summer was pretty hot this year.  In human terms it was historic, but in the less egocentric geologic terms it was just a modest warm cycle in the climate history of this part of what we currently call North America. Due to the heat, I did not cycle as much as I would have liked. Much of what I did was so early in the morning that memory is sorta foggy about those.  However, by the end of August I had raised my year-to-date mileage to…

High-priced equipment no guarantee for success
By Bill Cullins         www.gosanangelo.com
A friend who’s new to bicycle racing asked an interesting question a few weeks ago.

He was concerned about entering a race since he didn’t own an expensive, top-of-the-line race bike.

His question was, “What would happen if all participants in a cycling event raced on identical low-cost, entry-level bicycles?”

Simple answer — the final results would still be…

Limited Edition Missoni for Target and Headbadges
by Justin        The Plano Cyclist

I finally got the Missoni for Target bike up on the repair stand to start assembly and I took a snap of the “headbadge” sticker on the front. I didn’t know that these bikes are limited editions, which is kind of a neat thing, even if it is manufactured rarity. That being said, I have several Death of Superman watches that I bought in the ’90’s, and I’m not sneering at their manufactured rarity today. This bike is number 696 of 2984, which is both a low total…
