Watch Sindre Wiig Nordby do his impersonations of some of the sport’s top riders – Alberto Contador, Mark Cavendish, and Cadel Evans, to name but three – Do you think he has their style down to a T? Here he is running through his repertoire.
Just like Peter Sagan wins, these cyclists make it seem so easy, almost as if they were not racing at all. As if they were just enjoying a bike ride in the park.
Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy…
A little video about a ticket Casey Neistat got for riding his bike not in the bike lane.
Who knows why Casey got a ticket for not biking in the bike lane, maybe Casey takes it too far, but he has a point! Biking lanes are not always the safest place to be cycling.

Does this video make you want to get out there this winter and set some records?
A flat tire is the most common bike repair that you are going to have to do. Find out how to change a flat bike tire by watching this short video.
Additional items to note:Some added items to note are the fact that it is a good idea to partially inflate your new tube so that it can hold its shape a little bit. In the video this had already been done. So, when you take your new tube out put approximately two pumps of air in it before trying to seat it in the rim, this will make it easier to work with.
Additionally, in the video the tire was extremely easy to put back on the rim, I do not know about you but this is generally not the case for me. If you are struggling to put the tire back on the rim it is important to remember that you should not require the tire levers to put it back on. It is actually a bad idea to use the tire levers as this can often pinch your new tube and cause another flat. That would be embarrassing.
After you have put as much of the tire back on as possible, put your palms on the remaining portion and wrap your fingers over the tire until they grab the opposite side of the rim now “roll” the tire onto the rim with your palms. Use the leverage from your fingers by grabbing the rim. The motion is more of a roll because you should be forcing the tire to go up AND over the rim.

Cyclist Francois Gissy piloted a hydrogen peroxide-powered rocket bicycle to a record setting speed of 163 mph in France on his self built bike.
“The rocket works by putting concentrated liquid hydrogen peroxide into a storage tank that contains a catalyst. The fuel can be a liquid, such as pure alcohol called ethanol that is sprayed in after the catalyst chamber. The hot steam is then pushed through a nozzle attached to the end of the rock and this provides the thrust needed to push the bicycle forward.” – Weekly World News
