Johan Bruyneel said if Astana wants to get rid of him as team manager, they should tell him to his face.
While a months-long struggle over financial problems apparently resolved for the team ahead of the start of the Tour, the imminent return of Alexander Vinokourov seems to be creating more turbulence.
A report in Friday’s edition of L’Equipe said that officials from the Kazakh-backed team plan to jettison the Belgian director and rebuild the team around Vinokourov and Spanish ...

Just a word about a new site I have launched about specific kinds of bikes, with no direct promotion for mountain bikes. I am focusing on bikes that ride on the road, that do local commuting, that are used by couriers, that ride in road races or cyclocross type competitions.
Best Road Bikes - Courier, Commuter, Cyclocross - Affordable Bikes
Here on this new site I am featuring affordable bikes, so in the center section where the little thumbnails appear, these are high end brands with lower priced models, and I am displaying the lower priced bicycles first, and as they progress down the page they get more expensive.
Links on each margin lead to other options for commuter and cruiser type bikes, like the Nirve on the left side and the Makaibikes on the right. Below the center section display I am featuring live listings on EBAY which are mostly used bikes on direct buy or on auction. Sometimes the EBAY sales are the best for those with a limited amount to spend.
Just to start it out, and this can all change over time, I am featuring special bikes that I believe will fit the niche and people who do certain types of riding will find useful.

* Note that since these are compact frames, the "size" column will not correspond to any actual frame tube measurement. You should make your primary sizing decision based on the effective top tube length. For example: Size 58cm offers a top tube length similar to a traditional 58cm frame with a horizontal top tube, but because the top tube on the Colnago is sloping, the center-to-center measurement of the seattube is only 54.5cm. A "proper" fit will have more seatpost showing than on a traditional road frame.

Despite the presence of stars like David Millar and Bradley Wiggins (Garmin) and Mark Cavendish (Columbia) it was British home pro stalwart, Kristian House (Rapha Condor) who was smartest and strongest after a sun drenched 100 miles around the Welsh - turned Belgian for the day - town of Abergavenny.

As the Tour de France nears, our tendency is to put the blinders on and stare at France. That is all well and good, I will be doing the same soon as well, but in these final few days, it makes sense to get away from the hoopla of the Tour and, for me, take a look at a rider much closer to home, Mountain Khakis' veteran captain, Adam Myerson.

Reviews for WeeRide Co-Pilot Bike Trailer

The WeeRide Co-Pilot is just the thing for a child who wants to tag along with Mommy or Daddy, but doesn't have the legs for it!

Sturdy construction construction - just like a regular 20" bicycle with regular handlebars, seat, and pedals. Attaches easily and quickly to almost any bicycle with a seatpost, and folds up for storage when not in use. And it even comes with a safety .......

I was a little concerned reading other reviews which commented about the bolts coming loose etc, but after a month of riding and frequent checking, I haven't had to tighten anything since I first set it up. So either they've changed/improved the manufacturing process and/or parts, or the people who had issues did something odd when setting theirs up.
My 4.5-year-old daughter is at the top of the height percentiles, and it's almost too big for her - with the seat dropped all the way d......
The WeeRide Co-Pilot Bike trailer was an excellent investment for a Grandmother of a 5 year old boy!
The trailer not only encourages my grandson to balance on a 'big bike' but it also allows grandma to
get the exercise she needs. We really have a great time while riding together!
......
For some reason, this thing always sits off keel, not perpendicular to the road. I've tried to adjust and readjust, tighten and retighten, but nothing seems to help. In addition, the seat post attachment seems to pivot out of position fairly easily, making it easy to jackknife the trailer even when not turning. Last but not least, something went haywire with the axle during the middle of a ride and the wheel would no longer turn. We walked back to the car. Next day I took it to a shop where the ......
We just bought this bike and it came 3 days before this family bike ride event we wanted to do. I tested it out first with my 7 year old daughter and it seemed simple. You need to learn to balance a little more but not much where you can't do it. She knows to hang on always. So we did the bike ride with this attachment because it was 16 miles...she can't ride that long on her own bike so this way, she can rest if she wanted or pedal if she wanted. We loved it! It was really cool and we were on ......
I was thinking of getting a Trek, but ordering this from Amazon seemed so much easier.
Had some small battles during setup, weld splatter and paint buildup had to be removed to get the hitch to mate. Swivel joints are very tight at first, but loosen up after use. I had to use my impact screwdriver to loosen the flag holder clamp screws. The tire started coming apart after a week; I had to replace it. Had to really crank the seatpost bolt on the bike to keep it from rotating in the se......

I bought this bike because it had pretty good reviews...and honestly, at 200 lbs. I needed a bike just a little more heavy duty than what was available in a dept. store...When it got delivered, I was quite impressed with the overall build and features of the bike. With dual disc brakes (that work great), quick release hubs and seat post, heavy duty V-rims... shimano componants...it really is quite a nice bike for the price. I've seen many argue that you should go to a bike shop for a bike...well......
I picked this up for $100 even, its an ok bike. I find the tires/rims combination to be awkward, the deep V rims are so very narrow compared to the wider knobby tires. there is a very noticeable wiggle (from the tire flexing side to side) when on slanted surfaces or after hitting small bumps.
Like most people have commented, the brakes will almost certainly require adjustment, and the rear calliper does rub (just adjust the large retainer nut on the spoke side of the brake calliper, this a......
I paid for overnighting my package, which didn't arrive for two days, but that's besides the point. The assembly was simple. It took me some time figuring out how to adjust the disc brakes and get them aligned, but once they were, they work great. I've had the bike for a couple of weeks now and taken it on road and trails.
Pros:Awesome look, good suspension, smooth ride, nice brakes.
Cons:painful seat, heavy(its makes a big difference when you're trying to go uphill), shifters......
I got this bike for my husband for his birthday. I put it together in about 2 1/2 hours myself, and test rode it, seems to be working well. The toughest thing was adjusting the disc brakes, which I had never done before. I found it easier to adjust like this: loosen all four bolts holding the caliper assembly on, then lock the brake, tighten the two bolts attaching the assembly, release the brake, spin the tire while manually fine-tuning the position of the pads while looking head-on to see a......
The rear disc disc brake was found to always touch the disk, slowing down the bike quickly. Loosing the brake pad to make some space resulted in rear brake not functioning. An enclosed manual was very poor in its content, so I could not figure out how to resolve this problem. Very disappointed. I am going to return it.
