We have a bit of a penchant for small wheeled, collapsible bikes around here. In recent times Graham showed us how easy it was to stow a Strida 5 inside a closet, Andrew loves how he can squeeze his Bike Friday into a suitcase and Lloyd enthuses about how quick his Strida folds, so he can sneak it onto trains. Birds of a feather flock together, I guess. Anyhow, my Moulton AM7 is ab… No tags for this post. Related posts No related posts.

Bradley Wiggins may be Garmin’s highest-profile signing for 2009, but Christian Meier may be the team’s most promising young hire. Along with Svein Tuft, Meier comes to Garmin from the Canadian Symmetrics team.

Moreau — the last active rider from the “Festina 9” from the Festina Affaire of the 1998 Tour de France – wants to have at least one more strong performance before hanging up the cleats for good.

“After 15 years as a professional, it’s not a question of money,” Moreau told …

The scabby blisters on my hands are all-but healed, and only a few bits of red clay remain buried in my fingernails. The dull soreness that, just days ago, throbbed in my calves and quads is long gone. After all, I’ve enjoyed four days of rest and downed an uncountable number of bottles of Imperial.

My recovery from this year’s La Ruta de los Conquistadores mountain bike race is nearly complete.

That doesn’t mean I’ve kicked the memories from my 235-mile, four-day trek across …
