Not watching Fleche Wallonne today (because, you know, day job) but I can assure you, it will be a lot more dramatic than the 1994 edition.

This is hilarious.

“In 1947 a plane crashed into the slopes after Jean Robic led the race over the top. Carrying journalists it got too close to the race and the mountain where the wind caught the machine and it smashed into the road. Luckily the pilot and passengers were pulled out alive by spectators and had only minor injuries, whilst riders were able to pick there way around the wreckage.” From The Inner Ring and their page Roads to Ride: Col du Tourmalet

Still my best t-shirt and I am happy that I could help support the good fight against that mercedes driving fuck.

Anybody want to guess what this design pays homage to?

Bought one of these a few months ago when I was in Melbourne for work, went for a ride, and realised that I had forgotten to pack a pump.  The only reason I bought a Lezyne was that the bike shop only had one pump in stock and this was it. Had to use it yesterday for real after I hit a pothole and punctured. VERDICT:  Go and buy one.  Today.

“3Rensho was conceived and created by Yoshi Konno. A year after establishing Cherubim Cycle in Tokyo with his brother Hitoshi, Konno opened the CYCLONE shop in Chiba circa 1974.  The name ‘San Rensho’ (3 Victories) commemorates the feat of a keirin rider ranking first on 3 consecutive days of racing (qualifying heats, semi-finals and finals). It did not happen often in keirin racing.” -Loose Bearings
