Before you get on that trainer again, check to see whether it's a Performance Travel Trac Trainer. If it is, check closer; it might have been recalled.
Chapel Hill, NC-based Performance Inc. is recalling about 10,200 Travel Trac Trainers after receiving two reports of a blocking mechanism that can break, causing the bicycle to disengage from the stand and a fall to occur. …

Belgian cyclist Tom Boonen has repeated Monday's performance, and last year's, by winning back-to-back stages in the Paris-Nice bicycle race.
Boonen's sprint win over Australian Allan Davis, again, on Tuesday's 124-mile stage keeps him 17 seconds ahead of 2nd place US racer Bobby Julich (Team CSC). The 35-year-old Julich won Sunday's prologue and took the overall win in 2005. …

If you're ever in Eastern Washington and happen to find yourself with a bike and some free time, I'd suggest checking out the Centennial Trail.
The route is a 37-mile paved bike path that begins at the Idaho border, crosses mostly flat plains, bisects downtown Spokane (at left), and follows the wild Spokane River canyon to Nine-Mile Falls. On the Idaho side, it traverses another 24 miles to Higgens Point, Idaho. …

Don't miss out on anymore week-long cross-state cycling tours.
The deadline to register for the Denver Post's Ride the Rockies has already passed. Sorry. And the Tour de Wyoming bike tour isn't taking any more applications.
But there is still time to sign up for RAGBRAI, the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa.…

Does American cyclist Bobby Julich, at 35, want to own the Paris-Nice spring classic bicycle race the same way Lance Armstrong has owned the Tour de France the past 7 years?
Julich, who became the first American to win the legendary week-long “Race to the Sun” in 2005, won Sunday's 3-mile prologue to continue wearing the tour leader's yellow and white jersey. …

This is a good deal. A Chicago math teacher won a new bicycle from the Adventure Cycling Association in a random drawing for members, then she got to choose a free guided bike trip on which to take her new bike.
Rebecca Jackson, who despite being a member for 10 years has never taken a bike tour, chose the 7-day Cycle …

The Ohio University campus police are still doing a “heckuva job.” I just thought Barney Fife would have retired since I attended the college in southeastern Ohio 30 years ago.
A campus policeman noticed the sticker for a punk rock band “This Bike is a Pipe Bomb” on a bicycle chained up outside a restaurant Thursday morning.
Before the morning was over, streets …

There comes a point after I've been sick that I just get fed up with not getting any better.
I was achy, tired and suffered a two-pack-day smoker's cough for the past couple of weeks. I nursed myself along with plenty of fluids and rest, but the cough is still hanging on.
Figuring that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I jumped on the …
