If you will be cycling at night, then you must tell the road of your presence with Pedalite lights. Most accidents encountered by cyclists are 75% caused by the side close to an intersection. Most think that it would bring too much of a hassle if you would carry some generator right in your pedals due to its possible additional weight.

This is just one of the usual troubles that Pedalite secures to steer their customers away from. They never ever have any weight issue. For all you need to do is to clip it in along with the extra toe cages. They also offer metal stubs to keep the feet secure and safe during the entire ride.

They also offer the Anklelite which comes with a band that you can wear around your wrist, boots, arm and ankle. You can prove its level of comfort that even a dog…

The triathlon took a 15-year hiatus and it’s now back with an Olympic-distance race. Leon Wolek, race organizer, assures the spectators that the race will be very fast but will provide them a good view from the park. “I think people are just going to be amazed at how much they’ll be able to see from the park,” said Wolek.

There’s a $20 discount for the online registration which you can avail until April 10. A lottery of a Trek bike and other prizes are also at stake. The 2010 edition will feature a portion of the course on a six-lane highway. Media coverage is expected.

The New York City Triathlon will move to have a lottery-based entry system for 2011. This was decided to eliminate the online race to be counted in the triathlon. Last year’s triathlon slots were taken only in a matter of minutes by roughly around 19, 700 triathletes who wanted to join the event. The online registration then was a first-come first-served policy.

The Cherry Blossom Ten Mile run in Washington used the lottery system for this year’s race. Phil Stewart, director, shared that the lottery helped do away with frantic online registration, site freezes and the feedback if the applicants got in or not.

Using the lottery system is not entirely new to the triathlon. The Ironman Championships in 1983 used it to fill 205 slots out of the 1,800 spots in the race. In 2004, the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon followed suit for its 2,000 spots. In Burley, Idaho, the…

One of the greatest challenges in cycling would be to train under extreme cold weather conditions. The best solution to this would be to wear the right cycling apparel that can render enough warmth without appearing too bulky or heavy to wear. If you would have to wear too many layers, then this would just defeat the purpose of having to wear fabrics that are not just weatherproof but also has breathable features. It is Sugoi Men’s RS Zero Jacket that can help you meet this immense cycling challenge.

The Sugoi Men’s RS Zero Jacket would surely be liked by any guy cyclist since it remains consistent with what it shows in its sizing chart and it renders a perfect race fit.

The Barry-Roubaix race was created by Rick Plite in 2009. The event is a spring gravel road race which has grown in proportion ever since it started. From 262 riders, participants increased to a number of 654 for 2010. Plite shares how he came up with the idea of the race, “Many people enjoy gravel road rides to mix it up a bit from the grind of road or mountain biking. Most of us would rather ride our bike on a snow packed dirt road than slushy paved roads with traffic. The increasing popularity of cyclocross bikes also makes for a perfect match.”

This year’s race which covered 80% gravel roads began with morning lows in the 20s. By the time the race was underway, the temperature only rose to 34 degrees accompanied by a 15 mph wind from the southeast. Soon sunny skies were upon the riders but the temperature…
