Many of the long bicycle trails in the Eastern US don't fade away at the state line, they just change names and keep on truckin'.
I'd been digging into some cool, long-distance suggestions for bicycle tours on “non-motorized trails” when I discovered that many well-known bike trails meet at the state borders.
Such is the case on the Georgia-Alabama border where Silver Comet joins the Chief Ladiga. It happens twice between Maryland and Pennsylvania, where the C&O Canal and Northern Central meet the Great Allegheny Passage and York County Heritage Trail…

One of the bicyclists, Lee Anne Barry, 43, was finishing a cross-country bicycle ride called the Brain Injury Greatest Journey (B.I.G. Ride), when she was joined for the last day by Thomas Hoskins. …

When I lived in Austin about 10 years ago, a nonprofit started a yellow bike program that allowed folks to use a bike and leave for the next person — all for free — in the downtown area.
Now I see that Lexington, Kentucky, became one of the latest cities to adopt a yellow bicycle program earlier this year when Lexington Yellow Bikes set out 80 free rides for residents.
Being up north, the group is collecting the bikes for storage over the winter and looking back at the success of the program. In spite of the program being a total success, there were a few problems. …

Lexington, Kentucky, became one of the latest cities this spring to make free bicycles available in the yellow bicycle program. The idea is you ride it where you need to go, park it, and let someone else take it from there. Some people became covetous of their public bikes. Lexington Yellow Bikes.

(Updated: Nov. 14, 2007 — The Scotsman accused of having sex with his bicycle in a hotel room has been placed on three years probation.)
Bike porn I can explain, but sex with a bike is something I can't really picture.
So let's call on a police official who testified recently in a court proceeding regarding a man in the Aberley House Hostel in Ayr, Scotland ….

The 2008 Amgen Tour of California is about three months from now, and organizers are announcing the stage details for the eight-day bicycle race that blasts along 650 miles of road from February 17-24.
This is the third year for the event, which drew an estimated 1.6 million roadside spectators in 2007. For those not lucky enough to travel to California in February, it looks like the Versus cable network will offer coverage and Adobe TourTracker will return for online live video and commentary.
It's too early for pro cycling teams to announce, but top-notch teams like Discovery, CSC, and Predictor Lotto — to name but a few — competed in 2007. Discovery has disbanded, but let's hope international cycling teams with strong contingents of American cyclists return in 2008 …
