Welcome to Pista Bike! Here you will find writings and ramblings about fixies, single speed bicycles, pista bikes and more, including road bikes, cycling equipment, cycling clothing, jerseys and more. If it has to do with cycling, I'll probably talk about it. I'm a lover of cycling and I'm pretty bad-ass on a bike. Catch me if you can. On your left!
So you think you can ride a fixie?
Well, I've been gone for a while, but now I'm back to give you my two
cents. I personally think the best thing about single speed bicycles is
their speed and weight. Track bikes are easily becoming the next BMX.
The BMX-ers have finally finally figured out that fixies REALLY ARE
faster on the streets!
Tammy Thomas or Tommy Tamus? Bearded Lady or Cycling Super Star?
The staff here at pista-bike would like to thank Tammy Thomas (or Tommy Tamus) for finally getting cycling on the front page news on ESPN. Of course, all of you know that Mr. Tamus was found guilty for perjury in the BALCO trial. This is bad for cycling, as it's another stick of wood on the woodpile that is professional cycling.But on a positive note, Hey! We made ESPN! We haven't done that since Lance Armstrong won the tour...and you have to appreciate the dedication of a woman turning herself into a man all for the competitive edge of winning. There's not a lot of athletes out there with that amount of dedication. I commend him (er...her? uh...it?)
Granted, she may do some jail time, but I'm almost positive she won't be anybody's bitch.
