An Adult’s Guide To Learning To Ride A Bicycle

Man Tries To Consume As Many Calories As Tour De France Rider, Barfs

Can Nairo Quintana End Europe's Stranglehold On The Tour De France?
This year’s Tour de France boasts the strongest group of contenders this decade. Chris Froome and Vincenzo Nibali split the last two Tours in dominant fashion.

Asshole Spectator Grabs Cyclist's Handlebars, Causes Broken Collarbone
Australian cyclist Loren Rowney was in full sprint, gunning for first place at the Molecaten Drentse 8—a race in the Netherlands—when some asshole reached his hand out (seemingly on purpose) and grabbed her handlebars, causing her to spill to the pavement. Instead of possibly winning the race, or ...

Cyclist Jens Voigt Breaks Record With Over 204 Laps In An Hour
German cyclist Jens Voigt rode 51.115 kilometers—or almost 32 miles—in an hour at the Velodrome Suisse in Switzerland tonight. It's tiring to just read those words. The 43-year-old became the first to break 50 kilometers since the Union Cycliste Internationale changed the requirements in May....
Two Cyclists Engage In Sad Slap Fight In Middle Of Vuelta A España

Sheep Smokes Cyclist In Head-To-Head Race

How Vincenzo Nibali Attacked A Quaint And Sinister Tour De France
In a Tour De France marred by crashes, hostile weather, and high-profile abandonments, Vincenzo Nibali never fell off his bike.

This Is What Your Legs Look Like After A Stage Of The Tour de France
Bartosz Huzarski posted this picture of his veiny-ass legs to Facebook after completing the 145 km 18th stage of the Tour de France. It is disgusting and these are the grossest legs we've seen since George Hincapie showed up with a mess of veins on his leg that looked like Santa Claus. ...
