Cycling books for summer reading

posted by Neil Browne

Summer is the time to slow down and crack open a book. And the way this heat is smothering the Southeast, reading a book about cycling might be the best option. Recently four books made have occupied the bed stand at Carolina Cycling News: The Happiness of Pursuit by Davis Phinney, The Belgian Hammer by Daniel Lee, Not Dead Yet by Phil Southerland and John Hanc, and Life in the Slipstream by Andrew Homan. The Happiness of Pursuit: A Father’s Courage, a Son’s Love and Life’s Steepest Climb The Happiness of Pursuit is the story of Davis Phinney’s battle with Parkinson’s. It’s a good read that gives a deeper insight into...

So how does a wind surfing company decide to start designing and creating frames? There are some similarities, design-wise, between both of these sports. The biggest obstacle is resistance: water for windboards and air for frames. The ability to slice through both efficiently and quickly are important features for success. The material of choice in wind boarding is carbon fiber as it is for bike frames. With the design and construction methods being something they know well, it...

My move to an area that actually has real seasons forced me to get serious about my training alternatives. Recently when I bundled up with enough layers so I could ride outdoors, I could have been mistaken for the Michelin Man. Unfortunately, there have been times when it has reached Jens...

Review: Hutchinson P...

posted by Neil Browne

I’ll be the first to admit it but I’ve always loved tubeless tires for the road. While slightly heavier the ride quality was smooth, pinch flats were eliminated and the tires felt faster. So when Hutchinson introduced the Bulldog (an aggressive knobby pattern) and Piranha (side...
