Construction on PCH
Pacific Coast Highway is a famous roadway that runs along the California Coast. There has been construction along a section in South Orange County that has proved deadly for cyclists and pedestrians.

Landis Juicing it up?
Man, what a blow to the American cycling community…I’m sure you all know by now that Landis was accused of juicing because he had too much testosterone in his body. Did it ever occur to anyone maybe since the fella is an American he naturally has bigger balls than the French or Italian riders?
This Is Why You Shouldn't Listen To an MP3 Player While Riding Your Bike
A few weeks ago my long time biking buddy Mikey Monte and I were up in Turnbull Canyon in Whittier Ca. The trail has a 2 mile climb and its pretty boring too. Since Mikey and I have ridden this trail before, he decided it would be a good idea to take his MP3 player…

Stony Creek Trail
This past weekend, my buddy Eri and I went back to Stony Creek Trail. It’s not the toughest trail out there but definitely one of the most scenic rides I’ve been through. Take any of the fire breaks which runs throughout the trail and find a surprise. On this trip, we found the perfect fishing…
Dang man…freakin' Gas Prices
I drive and I ride my bike. I do spend more time in the car just because of life and when I am in the car, I hate the fact that I have to pay LOL up the @$$ for gas. Oh and another thing, I hate traffic! This heat isn’t making things any better….
Where'd Everyone Go?
As Summer kicks in to high gear I started noticing less activity on CBB. I began to wonder if it was something I said or perhaps my deoderant wasn’t working. But I quickly remembered that Summer means time for vacations. I’m curious to know how many people incorporate bicycles into their vacation? Do you go…

100 MPG Vehicles
So there I was reading up on the current events on MSN.com and I noticed an article about Toyota developing hybrids to have 100mpg. At first I thought it was cool, then again people could just ride their bikes more and they’ll end up saving more money than having to spend up to $25k for…

Bike Locks
I’m fortunate enough that I don’t have to worry about locking my bike when I ride to work. For those of you who are not, you might want to think twice about the type of lock you use. Check out this video of a Kryptonite lock easily picked.
Bicycle ceiling fan
My wife is an avid fan of HGTV. Yesterday, she calls me to watch a show called the Junk Brothers. These dudes find stuff that people are throwing away and transform them into something ‘useful’. Anyhow, they found this old bicycle and transformed it into a dual ceiling fan! How cool is that!
Can you tell the difference?
The pictures above represent the same bike, but different brands. The top one is the Raleigh Lahar and the bottom one is the Woodstock 505. If the labels and stickers were taken off the bikes, do you think you would have different opinions about them? For example, I prefer to have Starbucks than Diedrich coffee….
