Vingegaard, who was the race favourite in his first participation, took control in the Pyrenees with stage five and six solo victories. The Dane, who also won two stages and the overall title at Paris-Nice earlier this month, is planning a Giro d'Italia and Tour de France double assault later in the year.
I was drinking on the descent and misjudged a corner, Pidcock said in team statement. I overshot it and went down the ravine. It was like one of these horror crashes you see, but I'm very lucky that I am OK.
Pogacar made his decisive move just as he had done two years ago on the Monte Sante Marie gravel section. His UAE Team Emirates colleagues had put the hammer down heading into that section and once Pogacar attacked on a tough climb, he quickly distanced everyone else. Seixas was the rider who resisted the longest even briefly dragging back Pogacar before the world champion accelerated again and disappeared over the horizon for good.
The city is perverting the intent of Sammy's Law, a law named after 12 yr old Sammy Cohen Eckstein who was tragically killed by a driver just outside of Prospect Park, wrote the New York Cycle Club's lawyer Peter Beadle in the complaint. Sammy's Law, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2024, authorized the city Department of Transportation to reduce speed limits to 20 mph across the city or to 15 mph in certain areas like school zones.
Nearly 29,000 bicycle trips, on average, were made across the four major New York City bridges that span the East River last year, making 2025 the fifth straight year to hit an all-time high for cycling journeys over the waterway's crossings, amNewYork has learned. The data, shared with amNewYork ahead of its Thursday release, was gleaned from the city Department of Transportation's (DOT) annual bike counts.
The accident occurred at 6 p.m. Saturday by the intersection of Pershing Drive and Manchester Avenue where a white Toyota Camry struck the woman and her 3-year-old child, who was a passenger on her bike, according to Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Charles Miller. The mother and 3-year-old were taken to a hospital. Miller said the child was reported to be in stable condition but the mother had died. He said the driver, an elderly man, remained at the scene.
A sudden weather change, a mechanical, a missed turn, or a momentary lapse in judgment can all turn a "quick ride" into a surprisingly long day. The good news? While some of those problems are big, the solutions are often small. A last-second weather check. An extra granola bar. A quick link and a zip tie that's been living in the bottom of your bag for the last five years. Little things can often be the difference between a perfect ride and a problem ride.
Cyclists and music enthusiasts have a standing invitation every Tuesday at Hapa's Creekside in Downtown San Jose. Located at 59 Barack Obama Boulevard near the SAP Center, this weekly gathering encourages people to ride their bikes for a rewarding 2-for-1 deal on beers. The event kicks off with food service at 4 p.m. from Traveler by Chef Lou, offering a range of tasty options to fuel the evening.
It wasn't until Covid lockdowns that I became a regular bike rider, but it has become one of the joys of my life. Nothing melts away a stressful day like whizzing down a hill; not having to think about petrol prices, one-way streets or parking spots does wonders for my mood. When it came to maintenance, though, my attitude was decidedly timid. If something worked, that was good enough for me how it did so was simply none of my business.
Last Updated: January 4, 2026 Older cyclists often assume burning feet are "just part of aging," but the real cause is usually nerve irritation from sustained pressure - not temperature and not age. Heat can make it worse, but even in cool or cold weather, hours of pressure on the same spots of your feet can inflame nerves and restrict circulation - creating that fire-on-the-soles feeling.

Since coming to England from Ethiopia eight years ago, I've lost parts of my cultural identity. I was stuck in a monotonous, isolated routine studying for a biochemistry degree at Imperial College London, without the family-centred lifestyle I was used to. Back in Ethiopia, I'd be surrounded by my aunt, grandparents, friends. So this year, I took 12 months out and moved to my uncle's house in Leeds. The change helped me try new things, like cycling:
When I'm not writing about gear or racing, I'm out training or riding with my friends and athletes. I coach for Cycle-Smart, where I work with amateurs, professionals, and everyone in between to find their best cycling selves. Cycling is my life, and my work, and I'm very grateful for it. Besides cycling, my other passions are music and playing the drums.

I didn't set out to be poetic. I set out to ride. But somewhere between mile 30 and mile 70, between sunrise and sunset, I started hearing the road differently. Not just as terrain, but as verse. The hum of my tires was meter. The climbs and descents, line breaks. The miles, stanzas. Sometimes the words come on the ride itself. Sometimes they come when I'm lying in my tent or sipping juice the next morning. But they always come. Because long rides strip the noise away. What's left is what matters.
Somewhere between the third scoop of mashed potatoes and the questionable decision to "just try a tiny slice of every pie," a dangerous thought hits every rider: "It's fine. I'll ride it off tomorrow." A typical Thanksgiving plate-with a gravy lake, a two-story stuffing tower, and the dessert that you swore you didn't have room for-comes out to roughly 4,500 calories ... and that's before you make your way to the fridge for a late-night snack like a raccoon in sweatpants.
EPA Cycling journeys in the capital have increased by 43% over the past six years to 1.5 million a day, according to a new report. Data published in the Transport for London (TfL) annual Travel in London report showed daily bike journeys increased from 1.05 million in 2019 and 1.33 million in 2024. The report, published on Tuesday, found only 40% of cyclists travelling on roads without cycle paths felt safe, in contrast with the 76% who said they felt safe on designated bike routes.
San Jose Bike Party is a place to ride bikes, make friends, and have a good time every third Friday of each month at 8 pm. San Jose is the largest city in Northern California, but they are hidden in the suburban sprawl. It's time to enjoy the South Bay, ride the streets, and make this place the active and exciting city you want it to be.
[The list] was originally set up to celebrate women who inspire, encourage and empower people to experience the joy of cycling. By excluding trans and non-binary people, it's not doing what I think it was set up to do. It excludes people [who] have helped create the community that I was nominated for.
I know that feeling. I spent more than a year preparing for a San Diego-to-Las Cruces tour-over 6,000 miles of training rides. Thirty-four miles into day one, a rag blew off the road and straight into my rear derailleur. In seconds it snapped the mech, twisted the chain, and broke multiple spokes. The bike was done-unrideable. I stood on the shoulder staring at a dream that just evaporated because of a gust of wind.
People ask me sometimes, "What do you think about out there?"-usually with a curious look, as if pedaling for hours must feel like watching paint dry. But it's not like that at all. The longer the ride, the more my mind opens up. The road doesn't bore me-it speaks to me. It quiets the noise of everyday life and lets the thoughts that matter most rise to the surface.
Cycling in Windy Conditions: What Years of Riding Taught Me Today's ride was twenty-five miles-my next-to-last before heading to Albuquerque for the Day of the Tread. The weather couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Somewhere between cool and warm, with that strange, swirling kind of Lubbock wind that refuses to pick a direction. North? South? No-just everywhere at once.
Last updated: October 17, 2025 I've been pain-free on this artificial knee for 10 years. They told me it would last 10-15 years. I nodded like a good patient and then did what I always do- ride my bike a lot. Since January 1st, I've put down 5,000+ miles. Since July of 2024, about 8,000. That's lovely... until this year, when the knee started barking again.
