If you have a crazy idea, chances are that Red Bull will sponsor you. Take this guy in Costa Rica. It looks like Red Bull gave him a ride to the bridge in one of their Niacin-powered mini cars, outfitted him with branded protective gear, and then made him ride across the bridge. It might [...]

The latest president took to Martha’s Vineyard on a family ride. It took the L.A. Times a few minutes to throw together an opinion on how he’s ruining the world by not wearing a helmet. As with most LA Times opinions, I’m having a hard time telling if it’s a serious article or it’s meant [...]

Everyone’s favorite biking blogger Stevil Kinevil started All Hail the Black Market this week. It looks a lot like his former blog for Swobo, How to Avoid the Bummer Life, but this time he’s struck out on his own. We look forward to the new line of gear-you-can’t-live-without that Stevil is sure to launch shortly. [...]

Even though fewer people are getting hit by cars as more cyclists take to the streets, it’s still important to know what to do if it happens to you. First of all, if you ever get ‘doored’ by someone (they open the door of their parked car right into you), it’s always, always the motorist’s [...]

Chrome has begun selling shoes that look like a cross between All Stars and Vans. Not a surprising choice considering their two biggest customers are likely hipsters and skaters. The shoes look pretty badass, and they’ve designed them with things like waterproofed codura for riding in the rain and wrap-around toe that pops in and [...]

This video reminds me of that scene in the Kevin Bacon movie Quicksilver. It’s the one where he leaves a high-paying Wall Street job to become a bike messenger for a company called Quicksilver. Then he finds out that some of the messengers are dealing drugs. It’s fairly accurate, though I doubt these two German [...]

Designers at Renovo figured out a way to make hollow-tube wooden bikes strong and light enough without using bamboo. They built this $2,300 Renovo R4 Pursuit frame from hardwood; it weighs about 4 pounds and looks like the wall of a 70′s ski lodge. I’d love to have one of these things, but it’s impossible [...]

As more people ride bikes fewer of them are getting killed while commuting. Conventional logic would point us in the opposite direction, but it’s been found in New York that drivers are more on the lookout for bikers as more cycle commuters take to the streets. Awareness has been raised; safety in numbers, that sort [...]

Olympic cyclist Chris Bordman unveiled what he thinks will be the bike everyone rides around while wearing futuristic, metallic jumpsuits in the year 2030. The Bike of the Future is made from one carbon fiber and lacks a chain, spokes, and cables. Solar panels run the bike’s built-in computer, and they also charge a battery-assist [...]

A road sign in the Everglades gives cyclists a difficult choice. This would not be a fun place to have to change a flat. via Wend
