If you're pedaling through North Portland on your bicycle and feel some hunger pangs, you might want to swing by the “bike-thru” window at the Little Red Bike Cafe.
Only open a couple of months, the breakfast and lunch cafe will feed anyone who wants some homemade goodness in the form of sandwiches, baked goods, ice cream and locally roasted coffees. But cyclists do get that 50-cent drink discount that others don't.
Owners Evan and Ali explain all the trials of opening a restaurant and feature their tasty menu offerings at the Little Red Bike Cafe blog. Don't read it on an empty stomach. …

“Take a ride you won't forget,
On my bicyclette;
Fast as lightning and so much more,
It's a traveling metaphor.”
These are the opening lines to the theme song for “The Bicycle Men,” a musical comedy opening in London soon.
The show stars Dan Castellaneta, best known as the voice of Homer Simpson. In the musical he plays Steve, an American tourist who crashes his bike and “encounters the twisted inhabitants of a sinister French village,” …..

The family of a 15-year-old Rachel Giblin who died in a fund-raising bike tour in South Carolina in 2006 is suing the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
The lawsuit alleges that ride organizers promised traffic control and police protection that didn't materialize, and they routed part of the ride along a stretch of narrow and busy highway that was unsafe for bicyclists.
The Breakaway to the Beach bike tour is just one of about 100 MS fund-raiser bicycle rides in 48 states. Those bike rides raised $67 million in 2006 to help people suffering from multiple sclerosis. ….

So Oscar Pereiro is the new winner of the 2006 Tour de France* after cycling officials stripped Floyd Landis of the title and handed it to the Spaniard 15 months after the finish of the race.
Standing on the podium in Paris on July 24, 2006, I'm sure the only dream of a Tour de France win for the Caisse d'Epargne rider involved efforts in 2007 or 2008.
Little did he know that in less than a week, the beaming American standing on the top step of the podium would be accused of doping and eventually be stripped of his yellow jersey. ……

About a month ago I wrote about a Georgia firefighter who planned to ride his bicycle cross-country to raise money for the families of the “Charleston 9,” nine South Carolina firefighters who died battling a blaze.
The cyclist, Laddie Williams, finished up the ride over the weekend. He shared the 2,600 road miles between Palm Springs, California, and Charleston with his sidekick, Scott Rousseau of Outspokin' Bicycles. The 120-mile-a-day pace included many obstacles, including an accident with a hit-and-run driver close to home. …
