More From Eurobike

Cycling News focuses on nifty CNC machined bits in their Part 4 Report: Disc and sidepull brakes, hubs, headsets, bottom brackets, air valve adapters, etc. 

Part 5 of their report shows across the board updates to BMC's already fine line of bikes, new environmentally friendly cleaning materials and fabrics from Pedro's, updated tires from Schwalbe, and a super bright light from Niterider. 

To paraphrase Robin Williams from WAY back.. "But wait, there's more!"

Bicycling.com's Day 1 reports shows a new carbon fiber Dura-Ace crank weighing just 709 grams, as well as some new kit from Assos, a superlight new Speedplay pedal, and a Selle Italia saddle with an integrated water bottle holder. Day 2 shows a new lower priced Tri bike from Pinarello, revamped clothing from Campy and a new bike from Litespeed. 

The exhibition is over now, but I'll post more reports as I find them. Interbike is coming up at the end of the month.

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

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.
