Sunday links 2005-12-11

By Yokota Fritz


I need to think of a better name than "Links" or "Roundup." Jonathan just calls his Friday Link Love, which works well. Any other bikey ideas?

Bike love

• Lance Armstrong screenplay.
• Bike commute for the environment.
• Graham plays in the clouds.
• Santa rides a bike.
• Bike cops good.
• Movie about Graham Obree back on again maybe.
• Minnesota looks at bicycle safety.
• Bicyclists, you're important.
• Seoul Bike Show opened last Friday.
• New Mexico 2006 cycling event calendar is available online.
• Researchers want to examine your head.

Passing on your left

• Clay Mankin of City Cycle in San Francisco passed during a ride.
• Tom Cuthbertson, died of cancer.
• Charly Gaul, one of the great climbers in bicycle racing history and the winner of the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia nearly half a century ago, died.

UCI ProTour news

There was lots of news -- most of it bad -- about the UCI ProTour this last week.

• BikeBiz: Tour de France pulls out of UCI ProTour.
• TdfBlog: Grand Tours to ProTour: Drop dead!
• Cycloblog: Grand Tours leave Pro Tour in chaos.
• Velochimp: Grand Tours Not In ProTour.

Colorado

• Pro Nick Martin on Boulder's perfection.
• Rumblestrip goes Christmas shopping, Boulder style. That is, on bike.

Off topic

• Neighborhood Pace Cars help calm traffic. Seems to me like more bottoms on bikes in the streets could achieve the same thing.
