great resource to follow along while you watch, or if you can’t watch, you can imagine the scenery and watch the race develop with elevation, pack location, where the jerseys are in the mix and more..
very cool

Cycling “Rules” : http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/
This is a list compiled of the things that grown men with shaved legs use to unify and justify what lots of them feel is the ‘essence of cycling’..
BTB agrees with some of these things. not all of them. our rules remain simple:
If you are getting into cycling though and are curious about some of the bizarre norms or want to slip into the cycling community stealthily this list may be of some assistance.
Full playlist of all Chapters, plus Q+A followed and trailers:

Each Chapter from it’s original source. I thought these were removed from YouTube for some reason:

I don’t know how I’ve never seen this video before. I loves me some electro-music to zone out and do design/artwork. Rumor has it Kraftwerk has been the dudes since back in the day for that genre of music, not to mention their sweet use of international style typography and the whole cycling thing.
I don’t actually know much about them but I plan to listen to them while I work today.
So while Marcus was researching the new Canon DSLR that’s about to be or maybe is on the market… he came across this video that he shared with me. The sport is like, as he put it, “upgraded bike polo”. (For those not familiar with bike polo think horse polo and then substitute bicycles for the horses.)
So then I obviously had to know.. is this a real sport or some sort of hipster/photography exercise in doing ridiculous things to show off both bicycle and camera prowess.
I found, to my glee…
Radball is a legit sport.. and it looks wild. This second video is titled “Cycle-ball / Radball UCI world championships Romania vs Malaysia part 1” it looks pretty official to me… I recommend watching numerous other videos as well, the handling skills are unreal.
I only became aware of bicycle polo recently – – and it’s pretty cool. As spring approaches you will most likely be able to find the Syracuse Bike Polo folks out wheelin’ around Barry Park near the University / Westcott area.
I’m curious if anyone will build up some of these wild looking bikes and start nurturing a local Radball culture.
