We took 100+ hours of footage of Lexington Ave in Manhattan, capturing some 75,000 vehicles before and after congestion pricing started, and found the drop in vehicles appears to be coming entirely from fewer personal cars. Also no change in avg car value. Congestion pricing is working (for now).

A lot of people in bike media and the bike industry (and motocross folks) know Zap Espinoza. His home in Altadena and everything he owns was destroyed in the fires this week and friends have started a fundraising effort to help Zap. www.gofundme.com/f/zapata-zap...

100 Days until Omloop Nieuwsblad (Het Volk for us old folks)

Gastone Nencini leads Jacques Anquetil on the Gavia in the 1960 Giro d'Italia. More info in Alt text which describes images for blind and low-vision users. Cool feature by Bluesky.

This pic of Jobst Brandt on the Gavia has me daydreaming of where to explore next year

Bikepacking is the hot, new, thing.

Louison Bobet, 1954 Tour de France

Did I miss anything?

First rider to the top of the Tourmalet is awarded the Souvenir Jacques Goddet and €5,000.

The break has enough power to light up a small town.
