Amid Cycling Surge, Sport Of Mountain Biking Is Seeing Increased Sales And Trail Usage

Cities are failing cyclists. Here’s what needs to change

Bike lanes are just the beginning.

Competition has Flywheel and SoulCycle spiraling into an identity crisis

Cheaper classes and luxury at-home bikes like Peloton are cutting into their customer base.

Cycling Has Never Been More Popular – Now Could Be the Time to Revolutionise Travel

Transport is now the UK's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. But a new-found enthusiasm for cycling during lockdown could transform how we get around.

E-Bikes Are The Hottest Thing On 2-Wheels: Here’s Why You Might Want One

My personal bottom line is that while I am not the E-bike target market, as I live in a rural area, can’t really bike to shop, work at home so I don’t commute, and am an avid fitness and nature cyclist, my initial skepticism was immediately overcome and I definitely see the appeal of E-bikes - to a whole lot of people, for a whole lot of reasons, all over the world. But the biggest plus it that they can get the person who didn’t ride or was on the fence about bike commuting out there, which is better for their health and better for the environment, and that means better for everyone.

Evidence Indicates Cyclists May Age Better Than Those Who Don't Bike

There's evidence that if you regularly bike — even just for fun — you may age better than those who don't. A study shows that cyclists bodies may fend off some of the typical age-related decline.

How fast can a human cycle? With aerodynamic help, the 300km per hour barrier seems easily within reach

As we have seen above, there is probably still the potential for even greater speeds when it comes to slipstream-assisted cycling. I suggest it’s within the realm of current elite-level human performance to achieve speeds approaching 400km per hour when enveloped in the wake of a vehicle.

Learning to Ride a Bicycle as an Adult Can Be Hazardous to Your Dignity

Oh great, now we’re running out of bikes

Demand for bikes is surging, but the supply chain is still catching up.

Road Cycling Vs Mountain Biking: Which Is Best For You?

To most of the non-cycling public, people who ride bikes are just ‘cyclists’. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lycra-clad time trialist, a shopper riding a hybrid with a basket on the front or a hipster cutting through town on your fixie, to the uninitiated, we’re just people on bikes. But as anyone who’s ever scratched below the surface of cycling knows, there are many different tribes of riders, each with their own cultures, values, fashions - even languages. Of all of them though, it’s the differences between roadies and mountain bikers that often sparks the most debate.

A Cyclist Turns to Gravel to Stay Fit

When Doug Wilwerding wanted to mix up his long-distance cycling routine two years ago, he considered mountain biking. Then 54 years old, he was deterred by the potential for injury from dodging rocks and roots while flying downhill. Instead, he took up gravel riding, a relatively new sport where you ride on unpaved roads, including dirt, gravel and mixed-surface terrain.

Cycling to work: major new study suggests health benefits are staggering

For both cyclists and walkers, there was a trend for a greater lowering of risk in those who commuted longer distances. In addition, those who cycled part of the way to work still saw benefits – this is important as many people live too far from work to cycle the entire distance.

New Research Indicates Cycling To Work Has Extraordinary Health Benefits

It should come as a surprise to no one that physical activity and exercise is good for you. What may come as a surprise to many is just how good it can be. Research reported in the British Medical Journal last week indicates that cycling to work has extraordinary health benefits.

"Bicycle face": a 19th-century health problem made up to scare women away from biking

Once upon a time, the main danger associated with bicycling had nothing to do with being hit by a car. Instead, some late-19th-century doctors warned that — especially for women — using the newfangled contraption could lead to a terrifying medical condition: bicycle face.

Biking or walking to work will make you happier and healthier

But a recent Canadian study sorted people by mode of travel — walking, biking, driving, bus, intercity train, and intracity metro — and found that people who walk, bike, or take the intercity train are more satisfied with their commutes than others. Meanwhile, a British study found that people who walk, bike, or take any form of public transit have lower rates of obesity than people who drive, after controlling for other forms of exercise and socioeconomic factors.

Can air pollution negate the health benefits of cycling and walking?

The benefits from active travel generally outweigh health risks from air pollution and therefore should be further encouraged.

Does Better Cycling Infrastructure Equal Improved Public Health?

For some of us, cycling is a sport, a hobby or an eco-friendly mode of transportation, but cycling also has an important role to play in terms of public health. This includes obesity, which is now considered one of the biggest public health concerns in many countries.

How Safe Is Cycling? It’s Hard to Say

“There are all sorts of reasons why bike accidents are likely to be dramatically underreported,” he said. Unlike auto accidents, they rarely involve either an insurance claim or a police report. And injured cyclists may not go to emergency rooms. Even those with a broken collarbone may see an orthopedist instead.

How the Bicycle Paved the Way for Women's Rights

The technology craze of the 1890s meant fashion freedom and transportation independence.

Indoor Cycling Is No Longer Excruciatingly Boring

Is the Sky Falling in Pro Cycling?

As a stubborn and perhaps foolish fan of pro cycling, I’m not ready to throw my bike off a mountainside and take up a daffy habit for weirdos, like running. No: I believe my beautiful but forever-tormented sport simply needs to reboot with better branding—and a new, transparent slogan.

Riding A Bike Every Day Will Change Your Life For The Better

My daily rides are my form of meditation — few other physical activities force me to so fully embrace the present and consider my surroundings. If I’m feeling sad or angry, I pedal until the city blurs past me and all I can feel is pavement. If I’m already in a good mood, five minutes on my bike and I may as well be a superhero. At the very least, every day I arrive to and from work more invigorated and grateful for what my body can accomplish.

The Bike Helmet Paradox

Plastic shells keep our heads from coming open, but they also deter us from riding bicycles. And riding bicycles is good for people and Earth.

The Electric Glide

Three reasons why share-bikes don’t fit Australian culture

Many cities are keen on dockless share-bike schemes such as oBikes or Reddy Go, and for good reason. They promote greater physical movement, help solve transport problems in congested cities, and can be fun. But there’s a downside. Share-bikes can litter our cities and be found in rivers, up trees, in gutters, and strewn around public places. One of the reasons for this is culture.

Why Bicycling Infrastructure Fails Bicyclists

Because cities aren’t building complete networks—and police aren’t keeping them safe.

Cycling Inquisition

I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, but now live in the United States. It's for this reason that I often, but not exclusively, write about Colombia within the context of cycling. My admittedly second-rate writing represents my attempt to help document a nation's history within the sport.

If you're willing to put up with that lack of focus, you may enjoy the blog.

I love the equipment, the wheels, the gear ratios, the sound of the cranks turning, the adrenaline on a fast descent, the hard climb, driving the pedals. I like lycra, micro-fiber, cool, absurdly over-priced sunglasses, I like the classic steel frames, the carbon art forms, the ti goodies that never stop coming. I love the sounds of cycling, the landmarks of the great races. Paris-Roubaix, Le Ronde, the Vuelta d’Espana, Giro and the Tour. Vive le tout. Sestriere, Alpe d’Huez, Tormalet, the Arenberg Forest and Carrefour l’Arbre, the moonscape of Mont Ventoux.
