The past weekend was amazing and there was so much bike fun to be had. I ventured out and had a really really fun weekend.

Goldsprints! Absurdly hard and fun, and has been updated with really nice software and hardware since MTX2007.

So many cool bikes to stare at just walking down the street.

Kickstand! They’re a coffee shop that is carted over on bicycle and setup for the day wherever they’re at. They have amazing iced or hot coffee.

In an attempt to let the world know how committed they are to their footwear line, Chrome announces their Turds For Gold Shoe Exchange. For two days only, Chrome will be slinging a new pair of shoes to anyone that sends them a worn-out pair of kicks.

“There are a lot of great shoe brands out their but few, if any, are made to handle the harsh demands of riding in the city,” says Chrome Marketing Director, Matt Sharkey.

“Our shoes are built to hold up under the toughest conditions and are designed 100% to address the needs of the everyday city cyclist. Not only did we want to build a shoe that was durable and functional, but we also paid close attention to overall fit and timeless style.”

The exchange begins on Wednesday, March 17 and ends promptly the next day on Thursday, the 18th. Packages must be post marked by 3/18 to qualify and should include a return shipping address and shoe size info.

Please ship all packages to:
Chrome Industries
Attn: Turds for Gold/Sharkey
580 4th Street
San Francisco, CA 94107

Free motion rollers are cool becuase it helps get rid of that super sterile feeling that you get when sitting on the rollers. I personally have an issue with being on the rollers for more than five minutes (not kidding). This would add some realism and fun to riding indoors during the horrible winter. I want to build these for next winter!

DIY InsideRide Free Motion Rollers #2

via make:

I just got one of those indoor bike trainers. You know, the kind that props up the rear wheel against a heavy, resistance-providing wheel. The front of the bike rests on the floor, the rear axle is pinned, and there’s no balancing required. I didn’t think of it at first, but that’s not really how you ride a bike in real life, and therefore must not be good enough for athletes training for more than just a good indoor cardio workout. Instructables user pennachi1 created this indoor cycling rig that lets you actually ride your bike the way you would outside. Looks a little scary to me, but I’m informed it “works fantastically!”

Ed took a ton of great pictures last Monstertrack and made a collage in preparation for this years race. I was excited to see a bunch of shots of me from my favorite race so I wanted ot post this to get pumped for this years race!
