If you ride the dirt and paved trails operated by King County (WA) Parks, you might want to participate in an online survey.
It takes about 10 minutes to fill out.
The park folks want to know how we use their facilities, what we like and don't like about them, and how we think they can be improved.
It can't …

US cyclist Levi Leipheimer won Stage 1 of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge on Tuesday as he took the yellow jersey with a perfectly timed final attack 
in Crested Butte.
While the peloton was gasping for air in at least a half dozen languages, the RadioShack cyclist dropped the leaders in the last third of a mile as they rode past 9,000 feet elevation.
Hard on his tail was Sergio Henao, 23, the Colombian cyclist whose Gobernación de Antioquia cycling team challenged the big leagues ….

Two days after teammate Matt Goss abandoned the Vuelta a Espana with stomach flu, HTC-Highroad's sprinter Mark Cavendish retired on the second climb on Tuesday.
Perhaps it was too much climbing early in the 3-week race, or too much heat or the effects of the same bug that bothered Goss.
The mountaintop finish for Stage 4 wouldn't have suited Cavendish …

Sometimes I take for granted some of the great bicycling assets right in my own back yard.
One of those is the bike lane across the Interstate 90 Lake Washington bridge that links Seattle with the Eastside suburbs.
The proper name is the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge, and the bike lane has been part of the bridge since it opened in 1989.
I discovered this bike lane on the westbound floating bridge soon after moving here 11 years ago. I use it on my occasional bike rides into Seattle or down to the ferry terminals for rides on the Olympic Peninsula.
Hundreds of bike commuters use it daily ….

Spanish cyclist Pablo Lastras showed some class in his victories at the Vuelta a Espana on Monday by dedicating his ride to this year's fallen comrades in the peloton.
The 35-year-old on the Movistar cycling team beat breakaway companion Sylvan Chavanel (Quickstep) by 15 seconds in the sprint and took the overall leader's jersey after Stage 3 by a 20-second …

A German cyclist riding for the soon-to-be defunct HTC-Highroad team earned a host of firsts racing in Colorado Springs on Monday.
Patrick Gretsch, 24, finished in first place on the first day of the first USA Pro Cycling Challenge. The victory marked his first-ever win on US soil.
The German covered the ever-so slightly downhill course in Colorado Springs in 8-minutes-27, 2 seconds ahead of Christian Vande Velde of Team Garmin Cervelo.
Gretsch will wear the leader's jersey on Tuesday, although it's doubtful he'll wear it for long. Stage 1 is a 99-mile uphill slog ….

A standard — but usually unseen and unsung — piece of athletic gear in many sports is the common jock strap.
Although I doubt that any cyclists wrapped up in lycra and chamois these days would consider using one, the jock strap was created to support bicycle riders.
While visiting a museum on Orcas Island this past week, I stumbled across this antique box for a Jockey Strap Suspensory. It was in a collection of early 20th Century items found in a home's private dispensary.
Notice “The Bike” logo and the guy riding his bicycle ….
