We actually used to go every year, which was fun because you could meet famous British cyclists who’d done incredible feats like finishing 52nd in Paris-Tours.

Like Everysight, it…

Wunder Mobility, the international provider of software and hardware for new mobility services, has launched its first co-developed e-bike. Unveiled at the Wunder Mobility Summit 2021, the new bike has been designed in partnership with Yadea, specifically for shared use.

Nairo Quintana in Chameleon Costume on The Masked Singer Nairo Quintana in Chameleon Costume on The Masked Singer Did we mention: Nairo Quintana in Chameleon Costume on The Masked Singer? He was the first dancer eliminated. Getting shelled out of the back even on reality TV. Can we give this guy an honorary Tour victory or something?
One of New England’s most beloved cyclo-cross races returned from the dead on September 11 this year, now titled the GP Beverly. Or rather, the Goldberg Properties Gran Prix Cyclocross Beverly. But that’s kind of a mouthful, so we’re just calling it the GP GP CX Beverly for now. The details of the race’s return are a little complicated. Until recently, there was a race called the Gran Prix of Beverly. However, that was a criterium. The new cyclocross race even took over the social accounts of the criterium with the same name, but of course it isn’t really the…
