Tandem Width Ways

Image
All I can say about this width way designed tandem is that it solves the problem of the stoker having their nose in the backside of the leader! Would be nice to see a couple of cyclists actually riding it though.

Team Time Trial Event

Image
Another great action shot of a team time trial event with top racing cyclists in competition. The uniformity of the advertising clad clothing ads to the composition of the picture. The is something about racing against the clock - an unlimited goal.

Not A Cycle In Sight - Just Cyclists

Image
Road cycling is the most colourful sport as seen in this picture. Not a cycle in sight here as they are all obscured by road bikers riding them. The scene just begs for being part of the event although most of us know we could never keep up with them.

Florescent Bicycle Clips - So Useful


Image
Not a bicycle picture today, but something that cyclist should never be without. Bicycle clips are so useful, especially for commuting when you don't want to get your trouser bottoms oil up from the chain. They are even more useful now that you can get them in yellow florescent finish making you even more visible to killer cars. I have a pair of these that I brought over from the UK to Bulgaria, I'd feel lost without them. I had used thick rubber bands before, but they don't last long. This metal product lasts a lifetime. The only thing that can go wrong is you losing them!

Kind and Obliging Cyclists

I found this, which just show that cyclists are in gernal nice people and ever helpful to fellow humans.

Bicycle Group to Offer Valet Service on Inauguration

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association wants to make it easier for area riders to attend President-elect Barack Obama's
inauguration.

WASHINGTON -- One group wants to make it easier for people to ride bicycles to the inauguration instead of adding to the anticipated congestion on the roads and rails.

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association is working on plans to offer
a bicycle valet service Jan. 20.

Valet stations would be set up at McPherson Square and near the Jefferson Memorial.

The group says volunteers would watch the bicycles while the riders enjoyed the day's events. Riders wouldn't need a lock and would receive a commemorative ticket to reclaim the bike.

The plan has won financial support from the national cycling advocacy group America Bikes. Minneapolis company Dero Bike Racks plans to lend its bike racks. D.C. transportation officials say they also support the idea.
