taeblog asked: Sparrows are nice but I'm a bigger fan of FSA Metropolis bars or Nitto Nordeasters. Both are a little narrow but they have the perfect amount of sweep.
A Girl's Bike →
Jason Oliver Goodman:
In the summer of 2004 I set out alone on my bike to make a photography project called A Girl’s Bike. In roughly 4 months I documented close to 200 women and their bicycles around NYC, mostly on the street as I found them. In 2008 it was made into a book. It also toured with the Bicycle Film Festival as a slide show before films and in the art show Joy Ride.

Sorry for the recent lack of posts!
I spent all day yesterday Framesavering my new bike and forgot to go online. In case anyone’s planning on using the treatment: that stuff gets EVERYWHERE and it’s SO STICKY, and it smells sort of weird, but not in the white-out/gasoline good-weird way, just sorta ecchh.

Vicky Pendleton and Emma Pooley are disappointed that they do not get as much recognition as their male peers, so Ben Greenwood is...
Awesome Competitive Women's Cycling Tumblr! →
This blog’s author posts comprehensive coverage of women’s road, track and cross cycling events and news, from race finishes to team lineups to profiles of riders from around the world. These women are so impressive and talented, and we rarely hear about them since their competitions get little coverage in comparison to men’s races. I know very little about professional cycling,...
