Pro Cycling 1 day, 6 hours agoThe Giro is a grand tour and definitely more prestigious than the Tour of California. And the podium girls at the Giro are certainly nice.
But they are not as nice as the Tour of California podium girls.

Bar shifters are still made mostly because they are used on time trail bars. The triathalon market has kept them doing. I am not sure anyone still makes downtube shifter. I still have them on my road bike. You can […]

A nice commute yesterday. I saw 3 deer and 3 rabbits in the morning and even a rabbit riding home. I will say the squirrels were more suicidal than normal, leading to some hard breaking a coule of time.

Pro Cycling 1 week, 1 day agoIn a variation of the divide and conquer strategy, only Frank is riding the Giro. I suspect only Andy will ride the TdF. I think the idea is to quit worrying about your brother and totally concentrate on your self.

Pro Cycling 1 week, 2 days agoI was planning to pick Nibali but Liquigas went with Basso. Too bad, without Contador I think Nibali would have won last year. I was hoping he would get his shot this year. So I’ll say Frank Schleck followed by […]

Pro Cycling 1 month, 1 week agoAnother interesting result for Paris Roubaix was Taylor Phinney finishing 15th. He was the top placed young rider. Almost everyone ahead of him was over 30. I think it takes a few years to train your body to take the punishment needed for the classics, Taylor was 14 seconds back of teammate Thor Hushovd and was at the lead of 11 riders who got the…[Read more]

Pro Cycling 1 month, 1 week agoParis-Roubaix 2012 seemed another exciting edition but I was disappointed with the MBC Sports coverage. First Tom Boonen is out front but we never get to see the move. Then the race on the velodrome for podium positions has riders catch the group at the last minute. It seemed a total surprise to the announcers. Were the TV feeds that bad? Could…[Read more]

I tried the cycling.tv trial and liked it so much I signed up for the next 3 months. The feed was good, no buffering issues, the commentators were good, no commercials and they started the feed at 7am eastern time!
At the same time I was streaming the EuroSport feed on another computer. That feed was a little at times choppy but decent. The…[Read more]

I just got home from a long trip, so I plan to watch recorded coverage of PR today…but disappointed to hear that NBC Sports is picking up where Versus left off! The worst coverage ”infraction” ever was two years ago when Versus switch from the final 3km of a Tour of California bunch finish to bring us Hockey pre game footage!!!

I have been watching the Giro D’Italia on NBC and have been thoroughly disappointed so far; and only after two days! Especially since I see that Velo Reviews is streaming the Giro and I just spent $15 to get it. I will definitely have to check out cycling.tv.

Got some new tires for my commuter. I went down to 1.5 inch from 2.1. I like the cushioning of the 2.1 tires but they don’t leave much fender clearance. I had some trouble with the rear wheel. There was a broken spoke. I had spares and replaced it but while truing the wheel 2 more broke. This wheel is about 2 years old and I don’t think it…[Read more]
