If Bro were a Frenchman

He would probably be like this guy:

Bro’s pals aren’t quite as attractive, but his sweet dance moves are comparable.

This Bro’s got some smooth moves!

The Bikewagoneers are heading to Nevada.

Interbike ’09 is next week, and we’re taking a camera (for both video and still shots) to capture all of the latest cool bike technology. So what would you like to see? We’re going to try and find the sweetest new bike parts in the industry, so let us know if there’s something you’ve heard about and are dying to see. We’ll try to get the lowdown on whatever it is you’re interested in, and then we’ll post it on our special Interbike page. Oh, and we’ll see if we can’t give you a sweet deal on it, as well.

It’s Bicycle Repairman!

Armstrong’s Comeback Fractured

heftybeans — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:33:38 +0000

Lance Armstrong crashed out of the 1st stage of the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon in Spain yesterday. It could spell disaster for his comeback plans. He will miss at least two weeks of training and racing. Most people take 4-6 weeks to race again after a broken collar bone, though some say that Lance could be back within two weeks to prepare for the Giro and the Tour de France.

Broken Collar Bones are the most common injury in road racing (other than road rash). When you go down in a fast paced race there is little time to react. Someone crosses wheels and you all fall down. If you don’t have time to drop a hand or twist your body to change the path of your fall, you’ll go down on your shoulder and brake the clavicle. You’ll sit on the ground for a while, head in hands, one shoulder a bit lower than the other. Somehow Lance had managed to avoid this common injury until wheels crossed in front of him and it was his turn to sit on the side of the road. In all of Lance’s time racing bicycles his worst accident saw him go down and fracture a vertebrae in his neck. He quickly got back on the bike and won Tour again that year. I predict that his second comeback of the year will be closer to two weeks away than six.

Ouch

The boys of Bikewagon.com make instructional videos.

Check it out: We’re working on a bunch of videos to help the world become a little more self-reliant when it comes to working on bikes. The guys are filming right now. This picture is of our bike-expert-in-residence, Marc (soon to be known to our readers as “heftybeans”), doing his thing and educating the masses. Pretty exciting, huh?

If you have a particular video you’d like to see us make, let us know. We’re happy to take requests. Otherwise check back in a few days to see the final product.
