The book “The Third Policeman” is described as a dark comedy at the Dalkey Archive Press. But what's funny is that this 1940 book about a man and his bicycle is selling better than ever before.
The Guardian Unlimited says the surreal novel “features the interchanging of atoms between a man and his beloved bicycle…”
Nothing surreal here. I've exchanged atoms between my ankle and crank before, and I have a scar on my shin as proof of an atom interchange with my toeclips. I even have a painful childhood memory …

Who is the kid and why is he grinning?
It could be you or it could be me. It just makes me happy to see him proudly posing with his new Columbia bicycle. I know the feeling.
A 1950s-vintage film of how Columbia bicycles were built at the Westfield Manufacturing Co. …

Those dogged Scottish journalists finally have dug up the official police reports on President Bush's collision with a constable while he was enjoying a bike ride last summer. Apparently Bush lost control of his bike while waving.

You've probably seen the Cars-R-Coffins logo — a black coffin on four wheels with the license plate 666.
It's on T-shirts, socks, jerseys, water bottles … you name it. It's the brainchild of Hurl Everstone, 38, a bicycle advocate in Minneapolis who published a newsletter by that name.
Earlier this month, Cars R Coffins got into the business of peddling coffee to cyclists. …

Just behind, in 4th place …

Who says bicycle racing is dead in America without Lance Armstrong?
The crowds that have been flocking to the Amgen Tour of California, and those following the race on the internet have been treated to plenty of excitement. How about today's breakaway that included Jens Voight of Team CSC and Viatcheslav Ekimov of Discovery Channel.
There was the suspense of whether they would be caught (they were), followed by the action of Discovery driving a freight train down the main drag of sunny Santa Barbara to deliver George Hincapie to his second Tour stage victory. …

American Floyd Landis retained the golden jersey in the Amgen Tour of California today, thanks to his Phonak team keeping the breakaways on the line.
But it was Juan José Haedo who once again surprised the sprinters and raced out front at the finish in San Luis Obispo. It's cool to see a virtual unknown racer beat the accomplished …
