BikeRadar has a great piece on the Bike Arch.

In case you’re wondering, the Bike Arch is composed of 240 recycled bikes, all sculptured together forming a visually pleasing archway. The piece was created by Mark Grieve for Burning Man founder, Larry Harvey.

Plus from what I hear, some of the best mountain bike trails are minutes from downtown Las Vegas.

Seems anything less than 130 mph just isn’t good enough. That’s why an Austrian man set a new world record by riding his mountain bike at more than 130 mph down the side of a mountain.

The man, Markus Stoeckl, used a ski slope to aid in his world record effort.

While making practice runs, the visor that Stoeckl had on his helmet kept steaming up. So to ensure he avoided the problem, he held his breath for 40 seconds during the record breaking run.

Ride on my friend, ride on.

On Thursday, Floyd Landis was found guilty. Landis, on trial for doping allegations after his win at the 2006 Tour de France, will be banned from professional cycling for two years.

Landis will also be forced to forfeit his 2006 Tour de France title. Landis said of having to give up the title:

Of course it hurts. I worked for 15 years to do that. I earned it. To have it taken away in this manner couldn’t hurt more.

Landis, who can appeal the decision, will have to weigh heavily the cost of the appeal. Reportedly, the trial cost Landis $2 million dollars to get him where he is now. Does Landis want to risk more money on the science of drug testing? Landis contends the system and procedures are flawed, but will his beliefs be enough to sway him to continue the fight?

Do you support Landis or is he guilty?
