Regular readers of my Substack know my schtick: Cycling as life. Pedaling and — especially — racing a bike yields grand lessons and reflections. But sometimes…a race report is just a race report.

Look around any city at rush hour and the picture is clear: bicycles are everywhere. Riders in bright helmets glide past lines of idle cars, kids roll to school, and delivery workers zoom toward hungry customers.

When Greg LeMond told Ulrich Schoberer, “I wish you had invented SRM when I won the jersey in 1983 in Switzerland—I would have won many more,” it wasn’t just flattery. It was a powerful endorsement of the system that would redefine scientific training in pro cycling. Founded in 1986 in Jülich, Germany, SRM (Schoberer Rad […]

Bike racing has, historically, found its greatest events and adherents in Western Europe.  One thinks of France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands and Germany as traditional hotbeds of competition.  The sport has become far more international in nature, although the primary stage remains highly traditional and European.  There have been Grand Tour winners from Ecuador […]

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is, simply put, a mismatch between energy intake and energy output.

For North Americans getting into road cycling in the decades past it was quickly apparent that this was one very much niche subculture.  The sport was so Euro-focused there were only breadcrumbs of information to be found across the Atlantic. In 1974 I did a European bike tour with a friend, riding from London to […]

Concussions in cycling are no longer dismissed as just “getting your bell rung.” As helmet technology, medical imaging, and sports science have evolved, so too has our understanding of traumatic brain injury in cycling.
