Just got a txt from a friend would reports quite a few cyclists being pulled up just south of Henley Square.  Anyone seen this or know what for? She wasnt sure... a group, plus individual cyclists have been stopped and spoken to... the reporter is unsure if notices are being issued....

Seems some sort of blitz is taking place.... Anyone have any further info?

Hi Guys,

I ordered a pair of DuraAce 7900 C24-CL wheels from an online store and have just received a pair of DuraAce 7900 C24-TL wheels instead. 

After a quick google it appears they have sent me the tubeless clincher variant and I am wondering if I should send them back or not.

I have specifically bought them for climbing and am planning on using them in the Etape du Tour act 1 in France in July.

The TL's can…

We've won everything you can win on a bicycle in a sporting sense. From the Track, BMX, MTB XC, Downhill to the one day classics and grand tours - Australians have excelled at them all bar one - cyclocross.

We are a sporting minion in the very euro world of cyclocross and Australia had its first representative in the UCI Cyclocross World Championships this weekend for over 20 years.  Melbourne's Lewis Rattray rode for…

I am trying to get my weight down to 90KG so I need some food Nazis to tell me off if they see me buying, trying to buy, looking at or even thinking about sweet treats before or after a ride! Coffee is ok but no tarts, cakes, chocolates etc!

I received an email today from my brother-in-law In New Zealand and some pics of a trip he made to the West Coast of the South Island to work on a new 80km MTB/tramping track on the Mokihinui River. http://www.oldghostroad.org.nz/home

Pics 1 and 2 are of the new track.

Hi folks. I've noticed that it's becoming incresingly common for cyclists to ride with a video camera of some sort, and stemming from that there's more and more videos on YouTube of incidents between cyclists and cars. Most of these seem to come from the UK and USA, but I was wondering - what do Australian laws say about the legality of posting something on YouTube which may include faces and license plate numbers? I know a lot of misinformation on these kinds of topics spreads by…

Hi all,

My brand new Trek Neko S was stolen from Grote Street out the front of the central markets the week before Xmas. I got this model the first day it was available back in October so there shouldn't be many around.

I immediately put in a police report but no luck as yet.

Please keep an eye out. I am a uni student and stupidly had no insurance.…

If you have any idea on how to get in touch with Mathew Hollingsworth, the guy who is suing Shane Warne for road rage damage to his bike, please let me know.

I'd like to ask the guy if I can make a donation towards his legal costs so he can take on Shane Warne in court, if necessary.

But I guess it may just come down to an agreement behind closed doors is Warne isn't a total idiot.

Would be great to see a high profile person like that getting slammed in court for road…

Have a look at this, could be as useful as rating coffee stops!

!Where Is the Dunny

I've decided I need to stretch myself a bit more than the weekly Mt Lofty / Montecute run so I'e opted to have a crack at Lobethal for the first time.
Heading up Norton Summit tomorrow morning and then off into the unknown.
Any advice from those who ride it regularly ? Just going to pace myself until I know the road.
Cheers.

temporary access road installed across the bike track. There are no signs on the bike track to warn of this and I do wonder if this could be an accident waiting to happen.

Cargo bikes are not something you see every day here in Tucson, AZ, but in Copenhagen, that is certainly not the case!  Cargo bikes are a very efficient means of transporting goods and people with pedal power.  And they are surprisingly nimble and maneuverable, as well!  This is a great video that illustrates how popular cargo bikes are in Denmark.  I found it posted over at Copenhagenize where you can find lots of other great pictures and examples of the Danish cargo bike culture.  Enjoy!

It would seem that there will be a campaign to raise awareness of car dooring with drivers in Victoria in 2012 http://www.bv.com.au/general/bikes-and-riding/93916/.  It would be great if a similar campaign could be run in SA.

Being car doored is one of the hazards which concerns me most on the roads as there often no time to react if someone flings a car door in front of you at the last minute.  Of course I try to take…

Following Randall's discussion on gearing I decided to compare my roadie against my recumbent on an 50km loop from my place over Lofty via Norton Summit and down the Freeway track (I live on the Linear park at Windsor Gardens)

Yesterday on the roadie 1:48 with an average HR of 140, 27.3km/hr ave

Today on the recumbent 2:12 with an average HR of 134,  39.7km/hr ave (whoops...forgot to change the setting for a 20 inch wheel :-)

What's an extra 25 minutes when everybody…
