1947 Giro d'Italia: Gino Bartali wearing the maglia rosa. He will lose it in stage 16 when Fausto Coppi soared away from the field on the Pordoi. Coppi came into Trento alone, 4min 24sec ahead of a hard-chasing group with Bartali, Fiorenzo Magni, Sylvère Maes, Giulio Bresci, Ezio Cecchi and Giovanni Corrieri. Coppi won the 1947 Giro, 1min 43sec ahead of Bartali. Note the lack of an idler wheel hanging behind Bartali's crankset. I believe he was using the Campagnolo Corsa gear changing system here, a incredibly efficient yet stupefyingly difficult system to use. |

What you'll find in our site:
The Tour de France. Lots of information, including results for every single stage of every Tour.
Other important bike races: the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España, along with the classics, stage races, national championships, world records, and olympics.
We keep a running record of the races going on in the current year, with results, photos, maps, etc. We've been doing this since 2001, so the results for yearly bicycle races are also available here.
We are fascinated by the history of cycling, and all of its characters and events. We've been interviewing anyone who will sit down and talk to us, then writing up the interviews, and collecting other stories about cycling. We have rider histories—the stories of individual riders, many by the great cycling writer Owen Mulholland. We have our oral history project—the results of our interviews. And we've colleced lots of photos over the years, of racers, racing, manufacturing, etc., which we have arranged into photo galleries for your enjoyment.
Being in the bike business for many years, we had to opportunity to travel a lot in Europe, riding bikes, attending trade shows, etc. We've written up many of our travels, and had some contributions from others whose travels differed from ours.
What would the day be without the funnies? Our friend Francesca Paoletti has drawn a series of comics about bike related stuff, poking fun at us along the way.
If you are interested in bikes, sooner or later you will want to know some technical information about bikes. We have articles here about bike weight, how bike frames are prepped and assembled, selected bike parts, and others.
And then there's food! The bicycle runs on the human engine, and the human engine runs on food, so of course we're interested in that.
Along the way we've been privileged to meet many people in and around the bike business who do things we like. The folks whose ads are up there on the right are friends of ours who we believe conduct their business knowledgably and honorably; here are a few others who do stuff we like.
