As of this post time, there’s maybe an hour of racing to go as they race to Crested Butte, Colorado.
Ever since John Dunlop invented the pneumatic tire for his son’s tricycle in 1887, tinkerers have crafted various self inflating bicycle tires using either a pump built into the hub or using the compression between tire and road as the pump. San Francisco entrepeneur Benjamin Krempel wants to commercialize this potentially useful idea, calling his product PumpTire and utilizing Kickstarter to crowdfund this endeavor.
Although I cannot be there, the race begins today. There were quite a few more cyclists seen about town this past week, dressed in their best kits, rolling their aero wheels and latest technology (I have seen some Di2). The Governor even gave a brief interview at the Broncos game on Saturday – this is a big deal for Colorado Springs, and seeing as this is theĀ inauguralĀ event, let’s hope it comes back for years to come.
