  • National Bike Challenge: Ride bike, log miles, repeat

    Updated: 2012-04-30 14:44:06
    What's the best way to be an ambassador for bicycling? Simply go out and ride your bike. That's what I've been doing for all but one of the "30 Days of Biking" the past month, and that's what I plan to do for the National Bike Challenge, which starts Tuesday and last through the end of August. The idea, unveiled in March at the National Bike Summit 2012 in Washington DC, seeks to sign up 50,000 people as individuals or team members to ride their bicycles 10 million miles from May 1 to Aug. 31.. When I signed up Sunday night, I was No. 12,048, so they have a way to go until they hit their goal. ...

  • 30 days of biking: Coalfield and ‘Gobbler’s Knob’

    Updated: 2012-04-29 19:09:32
    Some plumbing issues at the house sent me out on my bicycle to a hardware store in search of washers on Saturday. It was no longer a "plumbing emergency," however, giving me a chance to explore a little bit on the way home. I started by heading east on Highway 900, part of the old Sunset Highway, between Renton and Issaquah. This is part of the first automobile highway over Snoqualmie Pass that was dedicated in 1915. It ran through North Bend and Issaquah and around Lake Washington to Seattle.

  • Are bike path bollards an unnecessary hazard?

    Updated: 2012-04-27 17:33:30
    Whenever I used to come across a bollard in a bike trail, I'd get the righteous feeling of ownership that this was my trail; cars cannot get in. Now I worry that a bicyclist might hit the bollard and suffer an injury. Are bollards safe? Not always. Experienced bicyclist Giuseppe Maino, 53, died from injuries he suffered when he struck a bollard on the Richland B&O trail in Bellville, Ohio, this week. Maino was riding at the rear of a group of cyclists ...

It wasn’t in a Grand Tour , of course , and it took a couple pretty serious climbs to thin out the field , but still—watching Wiggins reach back to his trackie days to hold Liquigas’ leadout , jump from the cheap seats , and even gamely extend his twiggy little elbows in the final meters was pretty damn : cool The last time I saw something like this , it was 2004 and the biggest race in the US was a mid-April appointment in Georgia Taking advantage of a field thinned by some late climbs

    Today's bike ride was to be an out-and-back errand to the video store to exchange movies. The continued summer-like weather -- 70s and clear -- distracted me to such an extent, however, that I took a wrong turn on the way home and ended up exploring down by the Cedar River. Considering this scene, I probably should have picked up "Iron Horse," instead of "Iron Lady." Or "Seabiscuit" or "Secretariat."
