Fifty-one stories above the Las Vegas streets, many vendors, retailers, and media were in attendance. Also in attendance were professional cyclists, such as Freddie Rodriguez, Tony Cruz, George Hincapie, and Mario Cipollini. The two levels of indoor and outdoor partying were in full effect … Read Full Post Here Technorati Tags: Cycling Posted Sep 30 2006, 01:33 AM by cyclelicious with no comments

• Cycling to work more common

  The Environmental Defense Fund reminds its readers, "If everyone who lives within 5 miles of their workplace were to cycle to work just one day a week and left the car at home, nearly 5 million tons of global warming pollution would be saved every year, the equivalent of taking about a million cars off the road." Cycling for transportation has doubled since 1990, and reports from Interbike tell us that this past year especially has been good… Read Full Post Here Technorati Tags: Cycling Posted Sep 30 2006, 12:10 AM by cyclelicious with no comments

• Interbike Day 1

  Good morning from Las Vegas! Tuesday night's US Airways Flight 749 from Philadelphia should have been considered Interbike Flight 749. The sheer number of Interbike attendees on the flight was overwhelming. Half of the row in front of me, half of my row, and most of the row behind me were all attendees. Further back in the plane were two riders from the Rite Aid Professional Cycling Team. Anyways, I am writing to you from the floor of th… Read Full Post Here Technorati Tags: Cycling Posted Sep 28 2006, 03:13 AM by cyclelicious with no comments

• Man hit by his own car

  The bikers in this story are the Harley Davidson type, not the Colnago-riding variety, but it's too good to pass up. A road-raging motorist swerves his car toward a group of bikers. The motorist, Richard Brooks, follows two of the bikers who pull over off of the highway. He jumps out of the car waving a pool cue and gets knocked over by his own car! Brooks apparently left his car in reverse. The impact sent Brooks i… Read Full Post Here Technorati Tags: Cycling Posted Sep 22 2006, 11:20 PM by cyclelicious with no comments
