Around Taiwan:
- In Kaohsiung 300 elementary school students participated in a 120km ride to help ring in the end of the academic year. No injuries were reported.
- Taiwan's rascal of hip-hop and pop music, Chang Chen-yue a.k.a. A-yue, had realized his dream of biking around Taiwan. The musician navigated 1022km of scandal-free roadways to achieve his goal.
- Cycling Satin Cesena covers the Lu Chang challenge; a 50km scramble up some pretty steep terrain.
- T-mosaic is now ready to sell their own brand of steel bicycle. See the new header on their blog and stop by to meet the TYA.
- Oz Soapbox details the detailing on his Long Haul Trucker.
- Michael C. in Kaohsiung has taken receipt of his new Speedone RT30 steel road bike, which he purchased from Famous Bikes in Taichung. The full Reynolds 853 frame with clear coat comes with a SRAM Force build and Amante wheels. I took it around the block and the bike is stiff, crisp and agile. He should be very happy with his choice for a long time.
- F.B.I. to investigate schoolyard shoving match between Armstrong and Hamilton.
- NYC can't figure out what to do about bicycles and the chaos they create. No riding while sexy. No riding on the road.
- Oregon Live wants women to think about Bikes. I wonder if they need to treat bicycles like a handbag accessory to do so?
Most of the women I personally know want to ride for fitness, fun and just get around locally or somewhere visiting a place as a tourist.
ReplyDeleteI hang out at a women centred cycling forum where a large portion the posting, regular members have more than 1 bike...just like the male cyclists. :) I have 4 bikes, 1 of them a Dahon folding bike.
I agree. That is my experience as well. I am really disappointed in Giant for taking such a strategy. I am aware that they are aware of my criticism, but maintain that their marketing strategy is not demeaning.
