Sausalito Crash
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.

Let’s talk seriously about why cyclists break traffic laws
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...

Lance Armstrong on doping in 90s: "I'd probably do it again"
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.

London Approves Europe's First City-Spanning Bike Superhighway
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.

Lance Armstrong ordered to pay $10M in fraud case
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.

Spectator grabs pro cyclist’s handlebars, causing crash that breaks rider’s collarbone
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.

The Mad Scientist of Bicycles
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...

The Quest to Push a Human-Powered Bike to 90 MPH
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.

In 1900, Los Angeles had a bike highway — and the US was a world leader in bike lanes
Copenhagen is one of the world's best cities for biking, with more than 200 miles of bike lanes and two of just a handful of bike superhighways built worldwide. Meanwhile, of the top 20 most bike-friendly cities in the world, only one is in the US — while 17 are in Europe. But what most people don't realize is that way back in 1900, Los Angeles began construction on the world's first bike highway. During this bike-crazed era, cities across the US built the earliest precursors to today's...
