Amgen is sponsoring three Breakaway from Cancer bicycle rides, beginning in November, for the runup to the 2nd annual Tour of California.
The first ride is scheduled in just a few days on Nov. 12 in Bethesda, Maryland. Other charity bike rides are scheduled on Dec. 3 in San Francisco and Feb. 11 in Thousand Oaks, California.
The rides aren't gut busters …

Lance Armstrong takes to the streets of New York City on Sunday for the ING New York City Marathon.
I don't know if the 7-time Tour de France bike race winner chose to do this on a whim, or if it was sparked by a deal with his shoe sponsors. But outside of the world of marathon runners, he's probably the best known person in the field of 37,000.
That's why MediaZone is adding a special “LanceCam” to its live online coverage …

The owners of the Germany's largest bike industry trade show — Eurobike — are planning to bring a similar show to the Pacific Northwest next September.
The announcement that Messe Friedrichshafen is launching the show in Portland is causing fear and loathing in Las Vegas, home for the annual Interbike International Bicycle Expo, which has been the nation's largest industry bike show.
While welcoming the competition, Interbike organizers VNU Expositions said Wednesday in a press release:
“We are also greatly concerned about the dividing effect Eurobike’s announcement may have on the industry …

When I used to take my bicycle on transcontinental flights every summer, the biggest hassle was finding a bicycle box big enough to hold my 59cm road bike frame.
Bike shops gladly parted with shipping boxes they'd recently emptied, but those boxes usually held smaller-framed mountain bikes. I eventually learned to overlap and tape together two chopped up boxes to hold my bike.
Now some enterprising individuals are selling specially designed cardboard boxes to ship bikes. They feature low prices and little bike disassembly. Here are a few …

I see there are bloggers out there with more artistic abilities than me. The bone shaker at left is posted at the Trust but Verify blog; the witch on a bike at right was carved up at Velocipete.
I still struggle with the triangle-shaped eyes and nose and try-not-to-cut-yourself phase of pumpkin carving. Later, it's hand out cheap …

My dad always said, “If it's too good to be true, it probably is.” That advice certainly goes for buying bicycles at “inventory clearance” prices online.
The Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona is issuing an alert about a certain Steve's Cycling Store in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Although the website looks legitimate, the street address houses a Flying J truck stop.
The bicycle shop offers bicycles at extremely low prices — the entire Trek line goes for $1,000 to $1,300, including a Madrone 5.0. The only problem is, you never get the bike. …

Maybe it's a bad time to write about bicycle tours in Colorado just after a blizzard hit the state with up to 25 inches of snow last week.
But all the snow will melt, and the passes will open and hundreds of bicyclists will be taking to the high country this summer in two week-long bicycle tours.
I was reminded about the annual Bicycle Tour of Colorado and The Denver Post Ride the Rockies when I stumbled across a blog written by one of the participants in one of those tours.
The Bicycle Tour of Colorado already has posted its dates and host cities for 2007. …
