Love how Olympic coverage ages broadcast footage from 1998 to look like the Zapruder film.

Monobob should mean it has one giant blade in the middle and nobody riding in it. #monorail

I'm sure George Hincapie is psyched that Armstrong's story is back in the news right as he's trying to launch his new team.

Thanks to the Olympics, I now know that XC skiing has its own Pogacar.

Having covered parts of this at the time, I feel like it was intriguing *then* because we didn't know for sure what was behind the curtain. Now that we do, it's just not that interesting.

Every Olympics, a new cycle of Americans gets to learn that whistling doesn’t mean the same thing pretty much everywhere else.

I don’t know how all these dudes with bike vlogs move their hands that much.

From what I've seen, the espresso machine business is the only rival to the cycling industry in terms of its expectations of customers.

Every review of TPU tubes I read is something like, "they're super unreliable and often don't even hold air out of the box, but I love having one in my seat bag for emergencies." 🤔

Bunch of cycling normies about to learn that Roger De Vlaeminck had a brother.

Road season started.

Del Grosso out there representing all of us who are not the children of elite world champions.

Do people on LinkedIn hear themselves?

Feel the globalization!

Good lord, this URL. I hope it was worth it. www.inflandersfieldsmiddelkerkewevelgem.be/en

I believe these are called “Brooklyn Oysters.”

I love that mighty Ineos is now, aesthetically, in the same place as every amateur club that thought it would be cool to have a “training” kit and a “race” kit, only to never match again come race day. escapecollective.com/spin-cycle-a...

Fun fact: 68% of male professional cyclists active in the years 1999-2014 are married to women named Chiara.

It feels odd to work on selling bicycle wash kits given everything going on right now, but that's the business, so here I am. Let me know if you'd like one for your winter/spring riding. They're the best out there. www.theservicecourse.com/shop

Tipping one out for Frischi and Tomes as the handlebar debate rages again.

Feeling like 2026 will be the year of “let’s launch our pro cycling team with some AI slop.” Unfortunate.

Can’t remember a recent race I’ve enjoyed as much as Diegem today. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Widespread Panic

Man, the Velo plagiarism thing is embarrassing me, and I haven’t worked for them in eight years. FFS.

This will be referred to by historians as Ineos's Creamsicle Period.

I mean, I suppose I’m open to his ideas on the topic.

Periodic reminder that there is no such thing as a “merger” for pro cycling teams.

Current emphases at my day job are (1) developing a training program for a Servicenow implementation and (2) hating on AI. Now both are infiltrating my cycling world at Lidl-Trek.

Not sure how many DC-area cyclocross racers we have on here, but the Service Course pop-up will be at the season finale at Capital Cross Classic this Sunday.

Unredeemed boxed lunch ticket from the 2004 Gent-Wevelgem. The pressroom was in a library with a horribly fragrant bathroom, and Tom Boonen won his first major classic in apocalyptic conditions.

Pontificating on teeth? Dentists should stay in their lane: really, really expensive bikes.

For reasons lost to time, Jimmy Cliff was the soundtrack to the first mountain bike trip I ever took, to Brevard, NC, somewhere around 1990. Thanks, Jimmy.

Nog 100 dagen….. #Omloop 🇧🇪

Shoutout to the two Dutch soldiers riding to work through Arlington on this 36-degree morning in full fatigues. Very on-brand.

Look, I don't care where it starts and ends, it's Gent-Wevelgem. This sport is weird as hell, just embrace it.

And so, as usual, the flight schedule out of National Airport is really the only thing that matters in Congress.

Throwing sandwiches at all my friends at DCCX this weekend. They are powerless to stop me.

"How can we phrase routine traffic enforcement in the most inflammatory way possible?"

Wish you were here.

First nose strips came back, now this. Crap, all the clubs are going to do white kit next year, aren't they?

Just a little too late to drive wash kit sales at Pan Am cyclocross champs, but welcome nonetheless.

Change one letter, ruin a candy Almond Boy

@ee1.nl Were we talking about the Burney/Cyclocross pic of Beat Breu? Found it.

As our short king Lars has announced his retirement at the end of the season,you should know that in addition to his formidable palmares, he is also a very nice guy. 👑

Between the government shutdown and all the layoffs, the end of the DC-area cyclocross season is going to be insanely fast.

Amazing. And strangely, when I picture Breu, it’s not for the Alpe but for a head-to-toe mud shot in Simon Burney’s original cyclocross book.

The “posting a photo as a video to appease the Instagram algorithm” thing is really annoying.

“Yes, I’d like to welcome our first caller, all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark. Hello you’re on the air…”

It’s a shame that its release by a rival grocery store chain will prevent the @tomashuuns.bsky.social collab this deserves.

So, how many competitors being airlifted from an event is too many?
