Wasn't Lance Armstrong's seventh straight Tour de France bike race championship a big deal last summer? I remember lots of non-bicyclists following it on TV and in the newspaper, and OLN scoring its highest ratings ever during the event.

I wrote about labels on two wines yesterday — Cycles Gladiator and Red Bicyclette. Then DT from the Fat Boy Deluxe Weblog left a comment about a third, Hill of Content.
I'm always impressed by the breadth of experience of people who contact me. …
