Tell us a little bit about how you got into cycling and came to do your own stint in Belgium. Daniel Lee: I graduated from high school in 1987, so my teenage years were a great time for US cycling with the 1984 US Olympic team, Team 7-Eleven and Greg LeMond all making history. I always loved riding my bike and around my junior year discovered that cycling was not just an activity but was also a competitive… Full Story »

50 Good Bicycle Books
Kent's Bike Blog &bull Nov 1, 2011
Let me start off with a few disclaimers. This is not an exhaustive list. There are lots of good books about bicycles out there. This list started with me scanning my shelves and saying "Oh that was a good book... and that one... and that one... and then I started quizzing friends in real life and on Twitter and Google+. And then Amazon has this "people who liked X also liked Y" feature that can lead to all kinds of cool things. I finally drew an arbitrary line at 50. If your book or your… Full Story »

Paris-Roubaix Reminiscences: Six Weeks That Made A Legend
Podium Café &bull Apr 6, 2011
The form which I enjoyed in 1984, over the six-week period from Paris-Nice to Liege-Bastogne-Liege, was the best of my career. I won Paris-Nice, the Criterium International, the Tour of the Basque Country, Paris-Roubaix and Liege-Bastogne-Liegewijn." After seven seasons in the pro peloton, and already with some handy victories to his palmares, 1984 proved to be Sean Kelly's breakthrough year. In the six weeks between Paris-Nice and Liege-Bastogne-Liege, the man from Carrick-on-Suir became an overnight success. Kelly's climb to the top had been long and steady. Stage victories in tours major and minor throughout his first five seasons with Flandria… Full Story »

Doubt
Cycling Fans Anonymous &bull Jun 19, 2009
I should just stop reading so much. The more you read, the more cynical you become. Like quicksand. The harder you struggle to understand, the less hope you have of ever understanding. Dueling doping experts who can't even seem to agree on fundamental scientific issues. An endless parade of shifty-eyed riders whose denials range from teasingly plausible to absurdly fantastical. Illusory hopes of semi-certainty repeatedly crushed under new cascades of doubt. Rumors piled upon speculation built on a rotting foundation of betrayed trust. Half-formed, flimsy explanations glued together with arrogance and officious self-congratulation. Just trust us? Please. And that goes… Full Story »
