Futurition (A-Z Day 6)
The future of professional bike racing is salvageable. We can turn that future into the greatest triumph in sports history, if we are willing. Riders will have to be courageous and outspoken, team directors, stoic, and nefarious doctors, banished.
Exhausted (A-Z Day 5)
This is A-Z day 5, and also the re-birth of the Friday Haiku. Lance Armstrong is tired. But he’ll always have Paris. Just not in Yellow.
Dualism (A-Z Day 4)
Riding a bike is a simple pleasure. But it’s also very powerful. An afternoon bike ride might not end your troubles, but it will lighten them.
Bionomics (A-Z Day 2)
Even mountain bikers can slow down a little bit. We can leave the number plates at home once in a while. We can ride without our power meters, hear rate monitors, GPS computers, and Strava-hunting attitudes. Ride, not for the fitness, but for the simple, innate pleasure of it all.
Anniversary (A-Z Day 1)
Riding a bike is a reminder that we are most happy when we are free, independent, and on the move. Bikes have changed my life, and they are changing lives for the better all over the world. Bikes have a way of knitting people together and creating friendships among opposites. They can heal wounds as well as souls.
The Tour of Utah, Jonathan Vaughters, and the Future of Cycling
If young riders are confronted with the terrible choice to dope they now have two very powerful allies: the public and Jonathan Vaughters.
2012 Tour of Utah (Photos)
More (words) tomorrow, but for now, photos from Empire Pass, the top of the final climb of Stage 6 at the 2012 Tour of Utah. Levi Leipheimer won the stage, but Johann Tschopp hung on to win the Tour.
