    How do I get into Downhill when fate is against me?

    As far as managing funds goes, get quicken or a similar money program on your computer. Take the time to enter all your transactions. It won't take long at all for you to see where you're spending the money you shouldn't. Then buckle down and make the changes. On the bike: bmx and dj are...

    I saw it last night at the Portland premiere. It wasn't just boring, it was actively aggravating to watch the endless zoomy jerky interviews, the repetitive night sky time lapses, and the multitude of shots of a rider standing with hunched shoulders and hands in pockets trying to look serious...

    Utilizing heart rate and cadence for training?

    I'm in physical therapy right now for a cycling related injury. My advice is to find a good off the bike training regimen that will help you avoid strains, pulls, imbalances and things like that. For a long time I thought riding was only heart, lungs, and legs. It's really not.
