A Washington-based bicycle component manufacturer is recalling 9,300 bicycles that were outfitted with a faulty crankset that can break, causing falls and injuries.
The recall involves 21 different bicycle models from 8 bicycle brands (see list on jump) that were sold between February and October this year.
The US Consumer Protection Agency urges owners of the listed bicycles to stop using them immediately and take them back to the dealer for inspection and free replacement of the faulty crankarm. Eleven breaks have been reported, and two injuries …..

Thirty bicyclists rolled up to the Rainier Valley Food Bank in Seattle on Saturday afternoon with their backpacks, trailers and panniers loaded with hundreds of food items.
Their arrival marked the finish of Seattle's Cranksgiving food drive, an inaugural event here that has to be judged a huge success.
Not two weeks ago, Seattle Bike Blog editor Tom Fucoloro had read about a dozen Cranksgiving bike-ride food-drives across the nation and was disappointed there was nothing in Seattle. Although he had never sponsored a bike ride before, he decided to start a Cranksgiving in Seattle …

By most accounts, the Greenbelt trail that runs along the north side of the Boise River in Garden City was conceived as a bicycle path.
Now a group of Idaho bicyclists has gone to court to regain their rights to ride their bikes on a 1.5-mile section of the trail that has been marked as a dismount zone in Garden City for about 3 years.
As you can see from a regional trail map, the Greenbelt is part of a network of paths running in fits and starts along both sides of the river in Eagle, Garden City and Boise. But walking your bike for a mile-and-a-half is like having no trail at all, especially for those who need it for commuting ….

Bicycle shops are sometimes family affairs, but only one has been in the same family for more than 150 years.
Pearson Cycles can trace its history back to 1860 when the business first opened as a blacksmith shop in Sutton, a small town south of London. It's still in the same location, and the structure of the building remains virtually unchanged.
The family says it's the oldest bike shop in the world, and it's difficult to dispute that claim.
Currently, the bike shop is owned and operated by the fifth generation of Pearsons — Guy, 42, and William, 40 — to work with bicycles at that store. Interviewed recently by the UK's Guardian newspaper, Guy succinctly explained how the business has lasted so long ….
