Cycletrack is moving

And we're moving to Tumblr. It's easier that way. Trust me.

See you there.

An electric bike that I spotted in Brussels.

The Stumpf

Time passes but all is not forgotten

LeMond

Before Armstrong there was LeMond, and he still inspires in a way that Lance can not. And I have no idea why, maybe he's a nicer person, or maybe it's because he won close races and didn't so outclass his rivals as to leave them like amateurs. LeMond make lovely looking bikes and this one is fixed too. A proper fixed with track fork ends, I had no idea LeMond made these.

Diplomat

Belying my lack of recent posting I have actually been collecting quite a few bike photos. This handsome road bike is a Diplomat, a manufacturer I've never heard of though I have some suspicions that it may be a Schwinn.

World Track Cycling Championships

Photos of the top secret bikes used by the all conquering British track team are hard to come by. This photo I've had to cull from the BBC. It's been a truly amazing few days in Manchester for the British team, more victorious than I could ever have imagined, but I am reluctant to pick out any individual efforts for praise because there are just too many to write about. Instead I'll pick my 'best of the rest' and that honour goes to the brave and strong Belorussian, Aliaksandr Lisouski for his phenomenally exciting win in the Men's Scratch Race.
