A new color for one of our best sellers:

After two model years in shades of gray, the KHS Urban X is now sporting a fresh coat of red:

Hello from Interbike...

I just came down to the Sands Expo Center to register for the show tomorrow. Turns out it's a nice chance to get a glimpse of some new stuff being rolled onto the show floor (though they won't let me in there until tomorrow morning).

Judging from what I've seen so far, SRAM will be the biggest topic of conversation this year (especially their road componentry). Practically every gee-whiz full-carbon silly-light prototype bike I've seen so far is equipped with SRAM's new Red group.

Looks like even the great Shimano, who is debuting a new XT group, will be upstaged this year...

I concur. That's why we sell them.

Bicycle! Bicycle!

Steve-o has a review of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra's rendition of Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony.

I was instantly reminded of the famous picture of Einstein on a bicycle:



Does anybody know of any other photos of geniuses on bicycles?

Mad Dogs and Englishmen (Thanks for the title, Ken)

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far, but we rode anyway. Still, I'm glad it's 10 degrees cooler today.

Tomorrow (Friday) night, Bryan and I are going to do another night ride... we're making it a weekly thing, so we need a ride name. Or at least a name for our band of merry riders. How about "The Friday Knights?"

Anyway, if you want to ride with us be at the shop ready to ride at 8.
