An (ab)normal commuting day for a Sales Rep.
* * * Part I in a III part blog. It seems slightly ironic that the sales reps of a bicycle manufacturer are pretty dependent upon cars to get their job done. With towns being as spread about as they are, and the need to see these shops often, an automobile is a necessary evil. This is one Sales Reps foray into ditching his driver seat for a bicycle seat to go see some of his dealers. * * * One sees many stories in the media these days about how many [...] read more

Come Back…
Factory Rider Andy has been out of commission lately. And used the Tour De Nez as a guage to see where he was at.

One Way…Won
Congrats go to Jay up in Buffalo for winning the One-Way given away in the very first issue of Bicycle Times. And when you pick up the second issue you’ll find a nice little write up on the 2009 Clubman. Pick one up at finer newstands today… “The grey paint with silver lettering is nothing short of classy, and looks good with riding duds or street clothes, something rare in this era of race-replica graphic treatments on most road bikes.” “Equally at home [...] read more

Long Bike Back
I recieve calls and emails almost daily from people who are attempting to ride across the country. Some are for charity, others for personal reasons, some are just looking for free bikes. Last year Pearson contacted me and told me his story of being hit by a car, left on the side of the road seriously injured, his road to recovery and his idea about riding across the US to promote bicycle safety and awareness. Peason has since completed his trip, but his journey [...] read more
