I’ve posted a couple of videos from Interbike 2007 up to YouTube.

You can watch me crash a crazy swingbike in this video.

Xtracycle featured human powered rock and roll.

I have another Interbike video upload later featuring a walk through of the show flow.

Carlton posted videos of the Cyclocross Race and the Lake Mead ride over at Quickrelease.TV.

Please feel free to post links to other good Interbike coverage in the comments.

That’s team Bike Hugger in the photo, along with the voice of Interbike, Rich Kelly. So far I have about 200 photos uploaded to my Interbike 2007 photo set on Flickr, with more on the way.

Tour of America: This can’t be real

Richard MasonerSeptember 27, 200716 Comments on Tour of America: This can’t be real

Aqu Sports of Lumberton, NC is holding their press conference now on the Tour of America 2008 stage race across the United States of America. Organizers are planning a 27 stage race from Central Park in New York City on September 6 to San Francisco, California on October 5.

The inaugural Tour of America will pass through 22 states and at least 200 American cities.

The Tour winner will receive $1,000,000, with a total purse of $11,000,000 budgeted for all prizes. The press package lists several back to back stages with insane distances — on the order of 200 miles or more for several days in a row. The company came out of nowhere, and the man is a total unknown in the world of sports management. I think some skepticism is warranted.

Road rash repair kit

Richard MasonerSeptember 26, 20078 Comments on Road rash repair kit

It’s a good idea to keep something like this on hand.

Road Rash Repair Kit

The company owner, Rich Singer, was riding Bayfront Park in Menlo Park when he spilled and tore up his arm. He put something like this kit together afterwards and now here he is at Interbike selling it.

The kit comes with antimicrobial cleanser, tape, surgical sponges, hydrocolloid dressing and elastic bandage to hold the dressing in place.

Seen at Interbike. Buy at RoadRashRepairKit.com.
