Olympic Crashes in the Rio Men’s Mountain Bike Event
There were a lot of crashes at the Rio Olympics this year in the Men’s Cross Country Mountain Bike Event. You may not have seen many in the video coverage but that’s largely because they were focused on the top riders who, for the most part, managed to keep it upright. The course wasn’t overly technical but it had its share of technical bits. A bit of rain the night before added a bit of moisture to the course also to keep riders on their toes. Here is a great compilation of crashes at this years Olympics.

Should You Treat A Cyclist Like A Horse?
Horses and cyclists have a lot in common, particularly race horses; they eat a lot, they need exercised, they need groomed, the need well taken care of. Treat them the same right? This funny video from a Scottish TV ad shows you how you should treat a cyclist on the road in a different and pretty hilarious way.
Wal-Mart Bike Test – Will It Survive?
You know that the majority of the things at Wal-Mart come from China and are often of second rate quality. Why ever buy from there then? Well price. Because of economies of scale and the low cost of labor, materials, and shipping America is inundated with cheap, low quality products. Bikes are no exception. In general, you get what you pay for. Professional Mountain Biker, Phil Kmetz, puts a Wal-Mart Huffy through its paces on a downhill run. Was this bike made for this? No, but putting a bike through things it doesn’t experience on a day to day basis is a great way to test something and see if it will fail over time. It essentially packs a year or more of casual riding into one run. Watch the video to see how the bike comes out of it at the end. Then let us know if you would but a Wal-Mart bike in the comments below.

There are a lot of ways to take your family on vacation. There are also a lot of ways to take your family biking. Perhaps the beach isn’t so out of the ordinary but a four person bike towing another few kids? That would be a site you don’t see too often.
