Bicyclists are showing their love for Ed McLaughlin, a bicycling advocate and longtime cycling coordinator for the Chico Velo bicycle club in Chico, California.
McLaughlin was injured in a bicycling accident on Friday, Dec. 21, when he was riding with a group on a bike path and struck a small pole meant to restrict motor vehicles.
More than 200 supporters showed up Monday evening, Christmas Eve, for a “healing celebration” at the downtown plaza park. I think it's great that so many who benefited from his efforts came out to show their support …

A few years after moving to California, we shot a video of our house and family at Christmastime for our friends back in Maryland.
One stop on the tour was the Men's Crisis Center, the shed in the back yard where a new dad could get in some afterhours cranking on an old bike set …

I've noticed some heavy print and online advertising — including at this blog — for protein waters. They're generally touted for body builders who want to bulk up and endurance athletes like bicyclists who want to shorten recovery time.
In a recent article, the LA Times examines four brands — Accelerade, Isopure, Kellogg's Special K 2 O, and Stacker 2 Protein Water.
Nancy Clark, the sports nutrionist, says it's easy to add extra protein to your diet, even for endurance athletes and body builders, without resorting to buying water with protein added …

That much ballyhooed “landmark energy bill” that was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush last week didn't include a component that was in earlier versions — the bicycle commuter tax break.
Sorry bike commuters. A lump of coal in your stocking again this year.
The fringe benefit that would have enabled employers to give you a $20/month stipend for riding your bicycles to work was deflated by Senate Republicans. They threatened to filibuster at the last minute if the renewable energy and energy efficiency tax package made it into HR 6, the final energy bill.
That energy tax package included provisions that would have benefited bicycle commuters and wind and solar power producers. It also would have closed the so-called Hummer tax break loophole and reduced tax breaks for oil and gas companies. Small wonder it didn't make it …

Film producer Frank Marshall says the Lance Armstrong biopic is still on the front burner and might proceed as early as next summer.
Marshall, who has produced and or directed such blockbusters as the Indiana Jones and Bourne series of movies, is currently working on sequels to Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, among some other projects.
He said there's no truth to rumors that the Armstrong film is on hold because of all the doping controversy in cycling ……

The latest tour for Lance Armstrong is a USO tour of US military bases in seven countries in the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe.
Armstrong is joined on the Road to Kabul by biking buddy Robin Williams, comedian Lewis Black, Kid Rock, Miss USA Rachel Smith, and Irish tenor Ronan Tynan.
They're all on a non-stop six-day 14-show tour that started in the heat of the desert but soon was flying into swirling snow in Afghanistan. Armstrong is posting blog entries from the trip at the Lance Armstrong Foundation website. On landing in Kabul…

Be aware that you're going to have a big ol' bare spot on your wall in a couple of weeks if you haven't bought a bicycling calendar to replace that 2007 model.
There are lots of bicycle calendars to choose from online. Some feature scenic road and mountain biking locales, while others feature professional and recreational women cyclists from around the world and across the Northwest.
As usual, the Cyclepassion 2008 wall calendar is undoubtedly the hottest one out there this year. Instead of relying on professional models, it features pro women cyclists. That's Norwegian mountain biker Gunn-Rita Dahle-Flesja on the cover ….
