Biking

The London leg of the event, which has run annually since 2004 — interrupted only by the pandemic in 2020 — is set to take place on Sunday, June 14.

Clik valves! I’ve been using these on my bike for a month, and I like them! The cores are compatible with Presta stems; so you can remove the core from your Presta valve, and put in Clik core. They also sell an adapter that threads onto a Schrader valve.

This must be one of the funniest event in the utility bike area

Cette course de 4 jours est bizarrement classée .Pro et non .1 cette année. On dirait que les organisateurs ont essayé de rajouter un petit peu de relief pour honorer cette montée, car jusque là, hormis la dernière étape avec la sympathique côte de Gazonfier dans la ville du Mans, c’était quand même assez chiant et les étapes revenaient souvent aux sprinteurs.

It was much slower than I usually go due to a lot of wind, some “barely a path” roads along the way, the bike being a citybike meant for daily shopping, as well as the fact that I was carrying 50kg (110lbs) of luggage on my back the whole way 😄

This 6-stage race (Monday to Saturday) starts with a Time Trial, and then goes on with a collection of steep hills everyday. Even the Time Trial is not flat at all, starting with a 2.5 km climb, and finishing with a smaller but steeper one.

I have few thoughts about bikepacking on recumbent bike.

The Tour of Flanders will take place this Sunday, to close the series of Flemish bergs races with the one which is considered the most sought-after, and therefore will see all the top riders gather, including those who passed by all the previous flandriennes.

Spanish cyclist Jaume Guardeno is in intensive care after suffering serious injuries in a collision with a vehicle.

C’est ce vendredi et c’est retransmis en France sur Novo19 à 14h30 puisque ça fait partie des épreuves de Coupe de France.

Went really well, had some folks new bikepacking and they did a good job.

Dwars door Vlaanderen or À travers la Flandre in original versions.

Michael Zyskowski, Oberarzt in der Unfallchirurgie der TUM, hatte mit seinem Team die Unfälle von 103 E-Bike-Fahrern im Straßenverkehr unter die Lupe genommen, die zwischen 2017 und 2023 in der Unfallchirurgie behandelt wurden.

Meine Rede, dass moderne E-Bikes so verdongelt sind, dass sie nicht mehr von Laien gewartet und repariert werden können. Proprietäre Teile jenseits der üblichen Normen verhindern problemlose Ersatzteilebeschaffung.

240 km from the North Sea to Wevelgem near the French border (Tourcoing). And the usual detour into the bergs after mid-course.

Demain dimanche (soit le même jour que Gand–Wevelgem en World Tour 🙄, z’auraient pas pu la mettre samedi ?),

I lock up my bike all over the city. And I want a quick way to secure it. The bike isn’t expensive or specially attractive. But I want to deter casual thieves whilst having a convenient solution. Currently I have a 1.8m, non coily cable type lock that can go round trees and through frame and wheels. I’ve been considering a chain type, but that is harder to poke through spokes. And finding one long enough is not easy. Carrying it when riding should be easy too. Any tips appreciated.

An arrest has been made in a Newport Beach road rage incident involving a BMW driver and a pair of cyclists that was caught on video. … Weiss is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon and obstructing or delaying arrest. … Police also confiscated the blue BMW seen in the video for evidence purposes.

Apartment dweller here, I can’t store it outside and I don’t have a garage, I was getting tired of just having it in the living room so I came up with this slightly better idea.

Moved to a small town that’s a lot more bike friendly than the suburban hellscape I previously lived in, and only have one car now. My wife works in the next city over so she gets the car, and I’ve spent my unemployed time fixing up my neglected relic and turned it into a daily driver. I needed a new derailer, brake housings and bar tape. Got that done and am gonna put some new tires once I start getting some paychecks. Tires are fine for now, but are very narrow and we have a lot of dirt roads and paths and I want some wider tires. Added a bag to the top bar that has a clear slot for a phone so I can nav around while I’m still learning the lay of the land. Also got an under saddle bag for a spare tube, a tire lever and a c02 cart. Got my hand pump attached to the same mount as my bottle. This month I’ve put 60 miles on it after not riding for at least 4 years and while my cheeks were killing me the first week I’m feeling great now. I thought riding down small roads would be nerve racking, but the roads are so empty people pass with plenty of room and are generally very courteous.

Erste Fahrt dieses Jahr, berghoch nicht einmal gestiegen. Keine fitness und fast 40…

Widerspruch: Radlsaison ist das ganze Jahr. Es geht höchstens um den Tausch von Winter- zu Sommerfahrrad.

Ich weiß, das ist off-topic, aber trotzdem interessant. Ich seh schon das nächste Senioren-E-Bike am Horizont.

This Thursday, will take place this mini Paris–Roubaix, less upmarket and ranked .Pro, but sharing part of its cobbled sectors.

Ce jeudi aura lieu ce mini Paris-Roubaix, moins huppé mais dont il partage une partie des secteurs pavés.

In dieser Woche werden wir technisch und grundsätzlich: Warum gibt es verschiedene Laufradgrößen, warum gibt es neue Formate wie 32 Zoll und was steckt physikalisch dahinter?
