Pave': After an exciting weekend in Louisville, the cross collective moves to Iowa City, Iowa for three days of action at Jingle Cross Rock. Like the Cincy 3-Day Festival, Jingle Cross Rock features a pair of C2 races and a C1 race on Sunday. As a result, it’s a who’s who of American cross racers in Iowa.

BikeRadar: If you commute by bike or cycle on the road at night, it's essential to be seen by other road users. These compact bike light pairs are little, relatively cheap and easy to stow away once you've locked your bike up.

VeloNation: American finds new team after SpiderTech C10 dissolution.

CyclingNewsAsia: After stage one there would be no rest for the weary with a start time for stage two at 6:50am. With the short distance of 80km for the stage and the first KOM coming at just 8km into the stage most riders were out warming up before the stage start.

PodiumInsight: Remember that time that Georgia Gould (Luna) raced with a rubber chicken? How about two? You know that these stories and more will be told about the Olympian bronze medalist, cross racer and fan favorite around a few beers. And let’s not forget the time she raced with a mustache or the #heckleme campaign.

Photo: We noticed a remarkable amount of vibration damping .
BikeRadar: Elastomer-equipped seatposts are nothing new. But where Specialized has used the idea to damp vibration transmitted through the shaft, and Thudbuster incorporates it as part of a proper suspension linkage, Cantitoe Road's BioFloat seatpost directly isolates the saddle clamp cradle from the rest of the head. The good news is that it works. The bad news is that you can't buy one – yet.

TwistedSpoke: This week the UCI announced the creation of a hotline for riders to “discuss issues or concerns related to doping.” The hotline is one of the bold initiatives set forth by embattled UCI president Patrick McQuaid.

BikeRadar: Many wireless electronic devices currently used in cycling utilize the ANT+ protocol. And while Canadian parent company Dynastream has been happy to occupy space behind the scenes, its new website hopes to bring ANT+ to the forefront, with a comprehensive tutorial on the technology and a convenient, searchable database so consumers can determine which devices will work with each other.
