Hello, Los Angeles! Man, I've always wanted to say that. A warm hello from me in Copenhagen -– the World's Cycling Capital.

It was a frigid night in late 2004 when the lights went out on a potluck dinner of frustrated bicycle enthusiasts.

Neuvations reputation for wheels is at the inexpensive end of the market. Known for wheels that can rival the performance of costly imports, Neuvation seems more memorable for the cost of its wheels rather than the quality. Anecdotally, there are reports of spoke breakage among riders, but to be fair, there are similar reports for Mavic and American Classic. At a certain point, all wheels fail. Lets be honest, that you can get a set of wheels with skewers for $350 may be the most remarkable thing you remember about Neuvation wheels.  read more »

What makes a state bicycle friendly? That’s a question just taken up in earnest by a Beltway-based bicycle advocacy group called the League of American Bicyclists.

There is something about the image (real or imagined) of strength, speed, simplicity, and freedom that highlights the messenger lifestyle and attracts our attention.

Maybe the solution to some of the world's biggest problems is lying up against a wall in your garage, like Trek, the bicycle manufacturer says.

I know that is a repeat of some information but... I threw it together for SPOKES magazine and it did not make the cut too much of a narrative not enough information so... since I went through the time I might as well post it here it was a great ride I enjoyed the exercise of revisiting the experience here it is... Earlier this season I got on a plane and flew out to Northern California for a long weekend in late Apr il. No, this was not a trip to race at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey which was being held that same weekend; this was a trip to an old college buddys wedding. Although multi-tasking is not a strength of mine I managed to make this multi-purpose experience; a Santa Cruz wedding and a California mountain bike adventure. When I got the SAVE THE DATE email from an old college friend inviting me to his wedding in Santa Cruz I immediately contacted a mutual friend of the groom to see if he had been invite as well. My old friend Kevin McCarthy who earned the nickname of Snoopy in college said he had gotten the invite. I planted the seed of heading out for the wedding and doing some mountain biking the days before the weekend. It did not take long for this seed to grow... Snoopy was game. It was agreed that we would be heading to Santa Cruz for our friend Michael J.s wedding. This trip would involve more than standing in beautiful old white church to watch a man in a black suit and a woman in a white lace dress say I DO, this trip was going to include a gathering with some old friends and some epic west coast mountain biking!  read more »
