Is Ford Motor Co. going to become a bicycle manufacturer?

An innovative stand-up bike has already raised double its $50,000 (£34,000) fundraising target on Kickstarter. The Halfbike II has three wheels -- one large and two small -- and doesn't have a seat. At the time of writing, the project has raised over $112,000 (£76,000) with 22 days of fundraising to go.

If Todd Reichert cannot regain control of his ultrafast bike, he will be cast at 75 mph into the unforgiving rock and scrub that lies beside the highway in the Nevada desert. Reichert is familiar with extreme situations: the 32-year-old aerospace engineer and athlete was co-designer and pilot of the first human-powered ornithopter—a craft that flies by flapping its wings—to soar continuously, and the first ever human-powered helicopter to become airborne.

As far back as Brent Curry can remember, he was a tinkerer. In the suburbs of Waterloo, Ontario, he spent his early years taking things apart and reassembling them. By the time he was 15 years old, he’d taken up an intense interest in cycling, and began building his own bikes. “From then on,” he says, “I knew I wanted to get into the bicycle industry.” Eventually, he continued on to the University of Waterloo, where he studied mechanical engineering and...

This situation escalated quickly. In a video posted on Reddit (see below), a car driver appears to be parked directly in front of an official sign (like the one at right) telling drivers to "please" not park in the cycle track. Reached via Reddit, the cyclist says he commutes from Ballard to downtown via Fremont Bridge and Dexter Avenue.

A handsy spectator abruptly ended the finish line sprint of Australian cyclist Loren Rowney on Thursday when he reached over the barricades to grab her handlebars at the Molecaten Drentse 8 in the Netherlands. The action sent Rowney, who was on the wheel of race winner Giorgia Bronzini, careening over her bike’s handlebars and tumbling to the ground where she eventually came to a stop on her back on the finish line.

An arbitration panel ordered Lance Armstrong and Tailwind Sports Corp. to pay $10 million US in a fraud dispute with a promotions company for what it called an "unparalleled pageant of international perjury, fraud and conspiracy" that covered up his use of performance-enhancing drugs. Dallas-based SCA Promotions announced the 2-1 decision against the former cyclist when its lawyers said Monday they had asked Texas' 116th Civil District Court in Dallas to confirm the...

Catering to some of the 170,000 cyclists that ride across London every day, this segregated bicycle lane will stretch from west to east, pass through the heart of the city and span 18 miles when completed, the longest of its kind on the continent. Backed by mayor Boris Johnson, a second route will also eventually span perpendicular to this first one, reaching south to north and crossing the first path in the middle of the city.

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong says he would "probably" dope again if he were to go back in time 20 years when performance-enhancing drugs were pervasive in the sport. Armstrong gave an interview to the BBC on Monday - his first televised interview since his mea culpa to Oprah Winfrey two years ago. Armstrong said he would race clean in 2015 but admitted that his decision would be different two decades ago.

First Up: Artistic cycling is a form of competitive indoor cycling in which athletes perform tricks for points on specialized, fixed-gear bikes in a format similar to ballet or gymnastics. David Schnabel has won the artistic cycling world championships 8 times. We met up with him to film some of his incredible tricks in an empty school theater.

In full disclosure, I have scoffed the law while cycling. In my neighborhood at night, when there's no one around, I have rolled through a stop sign. I have paused at an intersection, "no turn on red," and then done exactly that on a bike. I do these things ... occasionally. "I do, too," says Wesley Marshall, now that we're confessing. "If I’m sitting at a red light next to a bunch of cars, and there are no cars crossing, I’ll go through the red light to establish myself in the street...

Fly6 video of a surprise crash on Alexander Ave heading towards Sausalito, CA. Although I don't remember it, I landed on my back, and hit the back of my Giro helmet, which probably saved me from serious brain injury. Although I had a mild concussion with a bit of memory loss around the event, I am very grateful to have escaped feeling only a little banged up. I cannot speak to the deer's injuries. Also, thank you very much to the folks who stopped to help.

A New York fashion photographer is suing a cyclist she rear-ended for the damage her Infiniti sustained while it was dragging his destroyed bike along the street

Last year 1,121 bicycles in Seattle were reported stolen. That’s roughly three purloined bikes a day. But the moment a ride is pinched is only the beginning.

Cyclists are a diverse group. Some of us ride fat tires down rocky trails, some of us ride road bikes up burly hills, some of us ride for sport and some of us ride just for fun. Some ride for the adrenaline rush and some ride their bikes for basic transportation. But all of us...

#TheRidge is the brand new film from Danny Macaskill... For the first time in one of his films Danny climbs aboard a mountain bike and returns to his native home of the Isle of Skye in Scotland to take on a death-defying ride along the notorious Cuillin Ridgeline.

The one down side? No room for attaching playing cards to make those annoying clicking sounds.

That cab should be at fault for allowing the passenger exit on that side.
