Interbike 2007 Report 2

By
Yesterday was Day 2 of the Outdoor Demo.

The weather was said to be very non-Las Vegas like and agreeable, though some, like Matt Pacocha at VeloNews mentioned that getting out to Bootleg Canyon took an unusually long time.

This report from CyclingNews focuses on cyclocross gear:
  • A new titanium cyclocross machine from Litespeed that comes in at under 17 pounds
  • The revised Jamis Supernova, now 50 grams lighter
  • The Xpedo Twin pedal featuring dual hinged step-in engagement 
That's not all they saw, however:
  • Cannondale has 4 new 29er models for 2008
  • Foes was showing off some prototype machines, as well as a really cool work stand
  • Lezyne: This all new company has some very cool multitools and pumps, with more in the pipeline
  • Fizik had new saddles as well as gelato. 
Interbike's New Product Showcase has a boatload of new products:
  • Rotor's super light new S1 stem
  • New road tires from Kenda
  • A bike-park/slopestyle bike from Jamis
  • Duratec a bicycle manufacturer based in the Czech Republic, looking for U.S. dealers

Reasons to Ride #2 - Ice Cream

Ice cream may be one of the best post-ride recovery foods that you can find.  A typical half cup serving of ice cream 3 grams of protein, vitamin A and 9 percent of your daily value of calcium. If your body doesn't get around 1000 mg of clacium a day, your fat cells begin storing fat. Calcium also helps build and strengthen bones, lowers the risk of colon cancer and helps to reduce PMS symptoms. In addition, calcium increases your metabolism to help you burn fat. Two to three servings of dairy a day can help you lose 11 to 15 pounds over a year.  When Greg LeMond was asked what he thought about while racing, he replied "Ice cream. God, I dream about ice cream." Since I'm using their picture, I'll throw out a little love to Graeter's - Cincinnati's best ice cream. By the way, they ship nationally. Just ask Oprah.

Lance Breaks His Silence On The Landis Decision

By
When first asked a couple of weeks ago about the decision in the Floyd Landis case, Lance Armstrong basically implied that he didn't keep up with cycling anymore and that he didn't have time to look at it. Now, in a new interview released yesterday, Armstrong blasts the decision of the arbitration panel and states that he feels that Landis would have been exonerated by a jury. It's about time he spoke up. He may be focused on finding a cure for cancer, but he needs to recognize that for most Americans, he is the person that comes to mind when they think about professional cycling.
