Obree Book on Sale

  I believe the Obree book is now on sale. It will set you back �30, which is really quite expensive for �its length. However, if you are a keen time-triallist or racer, I would say it is still worth it. It is a shame that it’s �30, as I think it would be of [...]

Tour de France Stage 14 ? The Big One

A beautiful day for a bike race! Blue skies and nice weather (a bit warm) greeted the cyclists at the start line in the city of Saint-Gaudens within sight of the mighty Pyr�n�es in the south of France. The 169-kilometer course had a shark?s tooth profile and with lots of categorized mountains, a bunched-up group [...]

(I'm trying to give Jenn "GeoPoints Bulletin" Milyko an opportunity to catch up. So far, the two of us lead the Adventure Cycling "most-posts pack" with me at 141 and Jenn at 139.)

A favorite piece of bicycling gear: eyeglass mirror

I've attached lots of different lights, pedals, saddles, handlebar grips and other gizmos and gadgets to my bike or myself in the past 10 years.

The one thing that's given me the most pleasure is a simple rectangular eyeglass mirror that cost me less than $10.

Like my helmet, I can't leave home without it. That's the mirror in the photo at left as I'm being trailed across Kansas by my son this summer.

If you're searching for a holiday present for a bicyclist, a mirror would be a good choice. Any local bicycle store will have a good selection....
