Heat Advisory for Susquehanna River Valley
My morning commute wasn’t too fun. It was already warm at 8:30 this morning and the humidity wasn’t helping at all. During my lunch break I decided to ride back home. It was unbearable! I had all intentions on riding back to work until I stepped out of my air-conditioned house. It felt like I…
Bare Knuckles
Just a reminder to everyone – cycling gloves aren’t just for padding and shock absorption, especially if you ride in a city. A patch of cobblestone on my ride home Friday night swerved me into a plywood construction wall on the edge of the sidewalk, taking the skin off of three knuckles on my left…

Construction on PCH
Pacific Coast Highway is a famous roadway that runs along the California Coast. There has been construction along a section in South Orange County that has proved deadly for cyclists and pedestrians.

Landis Juicing it up?
Man, what a blow to the American cycling community…I’m sure you all know by now that Landis was accused of juicing because he had too much testosterone in his body. Did it ever occur to anyone maybe since the fella is an American he naturally has bigger balls than the French or Italian riders?
This Is Why You Shouldn't Listen To an MP3 Player While Riding Your Bike
A few weeks ago my long time biking buddy Mikey Monte and I were up in Turnbull Canyon in Whittier Ca. The trail has a 2 mile climb and its pretty boring too. Since Mikey and I have ridden this trail before, he decided it would be a good idea to take his MP3 player…

Stony Creek Trail
This past weekend, my buddy Eri and I went back to Stony Creek Trail. It’s not the toughest trail out there but definitely one of the most scenic rides I’ve been through. Take any of the fire breaks which runs throughout the trail and find a surprise. On this trip, we found the perfect fishing…
Dang man…freakin' Gas Prices
I drive and I ride my bike. I do spend more time in the car just because of life and when I am in the car, I hate the fact that I have to pay LOL up the @$$ for gas. Oh and another thing, I hate traffic! This heat isn’t making things any better….
Where'd Everyone Go?
As Summer kicks in to high gear I started noticing less activity on CBB. I began to wonder if it was something I said or perhaps my deoderant wasn’t working. But I quickly remembered that Summer means time for vacations. I’m curious to know how many people incorporate bicycles into their vacation? Do you go…
Congrats to Landis!

100 MPG Vehicles
So there I was reading up on the current events on MSN.com and I noticed an article about Toyota developing hybrids to have 100mpg. At first I thought it was cool, then again people could just ride their bikes more and they’ll end up saving more money than having to spend up to $25k for…
