From short-distance sprints up to mammoth Six Day races, cycling pulled in the punters in Europe, in Australia and in America. One of the forgotten aspects of cycling in that era was the use of pacers. Real serious speed machines, not the puny little Dernys we're today used to seeing at track-meets. And one of the kings of motor-paced cycling was Bobby Walthour. Andrew Homan's biography of Walthour, Life in the Slipstream, has already been reviewed on the Cafe Bookshelf. Now… Full Story »

Breaking the Chain: Feeling Contrary
Bike Snob NYC &bull Feb 21, 2012
When I was an adolescent, I began forming strong opinions about our culture and our world. These opinions were informed almost entirely by Dead Kennedys albums, and they had almost no basis in actual life experience--not least of all because I had no actual life experience.

For example, I knew--knew--that evangelical Christians were determined to rob me of my freedom of expression, even though I had never, ever encountered an evangelical Christian, and even though my only exposure to religious fundamentalism had been via other kids… Full Story »
