UCI renews World Tour licences. The
UCI today announced that it has renewed the licenses of seven World
Tour events for four years. This will be of particular note and relief
to the administrators of the Tour of Catalunya, an event which has been
blighted by the financial problems that are currently gripping Spain
and other parts of Europe.

When
Rabobank’s Luis León Sanchez crossed the finish line in stage 6 of
Paris-Nice ahead of Jens Voigt, something didn’t look quite right. The
smile on his face was appropriate, his jersey was fully zipped and his
bike was immaculately clean. It was the black hub on his
Shimano-equipped Giant that stood out.

The US$2,350 - $3,150 road bike market has become incredibly
competitive. In fact, we can’t think of a single bike in this year's
Cycling Plus Bike of the Year test that we wouldn’t be happy to own.
BikeRadar
verdict: 5 out of 5 stars. "Hugely impressive all-rounder that combines
great kit, light weight and superlative ride quality."
BikeRumor:
Cycling books told through images win a distinguished place in my
library. Intertwined with depictions of history and in-depth analysis
of culture or bikes in themselves, they provide an aesthetic
understanding that surpasses pure technical literacy. After all, aside
from performance, cycling has much to do with design. The three books
we have here promise to enrich the rider and sustain, bring about, or
enhance conversations between fellow cyclists (or friends in general).

At least 300 nude cyclists hit the streets of Lima, Peru, on Saturday,

Bike racers, triathletes, runners, and competitors in all sports have
to learn to deal with pressure. But it’s not just the pressure of
expectation or nervousness that you could fail. Success and excitement
– overwhelmingly positive circumstances – can be just as disruptive.

Fuso’s
frame building experience dates back to 1957, where Dave Moulton first
learned this craft from a man named Albert 'Pop' Hodge in Luton,
England. Dave made frames under his own name, Recherche, and once in
the US built for MASI, then under John Howard, and finally FUSO in
1984. His apprentice, Russ Denny, continues the legend of FUSO with 25
years of his own experience. There is the original, and three new
models, that all carry the FUSO ride characteristics that made the bike
one of the most sought after in the 1980s.
