Nipple Works

Nipple Works sells their Jersey Bag, a heavy duty plastic bag to keep your stuff dry and with a friction strip so it doesn’t bounce out of your jersey pocket.

The Nipple Works bloggers blog mostly about bicycle gear stuff — clothing, wheels, women’s underwear, and cyclocross — with lots of stuff as seen in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you’re not familiar with “P” and “D” go check them out.

Yehuda Fritz?

I think VeliPete might have me confused with somebody else 🙂

Just a note that I periodically like to give a shout out to everybody who links to me when they do it, but I’ve noticed that, lately, Technorati seems to miss a lot of these backlinks. Blogger.com doesn’t really handle trackbacks that well, either, and I have way too much invested in using Blogger.com to change blogging platforms now. If you link to a post in Cyclelicious, please don’t be shy about leaving a comment here so I know about the link love and I’ll send it back your way.

Recent links that I know about have come from

There are others, but I’ve already mentioned them in other posts. 🙂 And let’s hope I didn’t mess up all of those links too badly 🙂

Now lets hope this bicycle blog doesn’t get marked as a link farm!

Bikes and rumors of bikes

Tyler of BikeRumor.com rides his mountain bike
Tyler of BikeRacer.com races in the Fool’s Gold mountain bike race the weekend of August 15.

Bike Rumor started in June of this year as a source of news, product information, and product rumors in the bike industry.

Tyler of Greensboro, North Carolina is the publisher of Bike Rumor. He has been an avid cyclist since 1995, when he picked it up as a junior in college. “I raced a lot for about eight years,” says Tyler. “Then I had kids and realized that cycling was more fun when it was just for fun and fitness, not racing.”

“While I enjoy the competitive spirit, my riding is focused around fun rather than keeping in top physical form for a 90 minute race.”

Welcome Tyler to the biking blogosphere. Drop by and say hello.

SSWC08: Singlespeed World Championship photos

Photographer Carson Blume spent the weekend in Napa and shot some nice photos from SSWC08.

Elsewhere on his photo blog he’s posted some nice Tour of Utah photos. His cycling blog is in a way Yet Another Ride Statistics journal, but the elevation profiles and GPS tracks are punctuated with wonderful photography of the scenery and cyclists in and around Santa Barbara, California. His photos encourage me to get out and ride!

Eco Velo

The Bike Hugger gave me a big hug earlier this week — in a list of his Top 10 Bike Blog List, guess who he put at the very top of the list? That makes Yokota Fritz feel so wonderful that it’s worth a big photo of the Bike Hugger Team here; the tall guy in the middle — Rich Kelly of Interbike — is I guess an honorary Bike Hugger. Byron’s the dude in the blue cap.

Team Bike Hugger

The other blogs Byron mentioned are high on my list also, but I wasn’t familiar with #2 on his Top 10 — Eco Velo from Sacramento.

Alan and Michael utilize bicycles as transportation to reduce their impact on the environment. Eco Velo is the public expression of their commitment to reduce their impact on the environment by employing bicycles as their primary mode of transport. They use Eco Velo to share what they learn from this endeavor while celebrating the beauty of the bicycle and the joys of everyday bike riding. Alan an Michael hope to inspire others to make a similar commitment through Eco Velo. So do I!


Remember, this weekend August 23-24 2008 is the Single Speed World Championship in Napa, California. Most of the bikes in this race are singlespeed mountain bikes, but singlespeed and and fixed gear cyclocross, road and “other” bikes also take part. It should be fun stuff.
