The Radavist

Watch this. Have a chuckle and maybe even learn something. This is too entertaining.

Imagery like this never gets old and cyclists from every background can appreciate the beauty of Keirin racing. I suggest you look through this entire set on Flickr.

Sure, you can be fast and you can be compared to Eddy Merckx but can you do this? Sagan keeps it rad. Thanks to Mike for sending this over last night. I would have put it up earlier, but I was having quite the rad day myself.

With the Tour right around the corner, the cycling posters come out of the woodwork. I’ve seen a lot of work over the years but Bruce Doscher’s are very unique. See his work from last year’s Tour at his portfolio site.

Everyone has their pick for the Red Hook Crit Brooklyn Navy Yard tonight but Dan Chabanov is always my go-to guy. Why? Because he’s humble, yet confident, motivated and driven. He’s also living the dream of racing bikes in NYC. Check out the latest from Manual For Speed, a profile on Dan Chabanov right here!

Here’s some rather interesting footage of the 2013 Cyclocross World Championship in Louisville, Kentucky that was compiled by followers of CX Hairs using media of their choice. Pretty rad concept.

Each year, tour designs come and go but I can say with certainty that this piece by Dave Foster is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Pick up this design on a number of different products here.

Well, hardly “all” but he talks about his career and his retirement. It’s a good listen, even in the background.

Thanks for the heads up Tracko!

I’ve seen a lot of Merckx photos, but this one is still one of my favorites. The photographer (whoever they are) really captured that Merckx moment. Happy Monday.

I have no idea who the photographer is, if you do, please share.

While I compile all of my photos, check out Paved Magazine‘s coverage from the 2013 ATOC:

Proof | 2013 Tour of California Stages 7 & 8
Proof | 2013 Tour of California Stages 5 & 6
Proof | 2013 Tour of California: Stages 3 & 4
Proof | 2013 Tour of California: Stages 1 & 2

It’s been a long couple of days on the road for the ATOC this year. Mostly filled with the riding to blogging ratio tipped towards saddle time. The trip has been very productive, while veering a little to the left of the norm. I didn’t find myself in a neutral support car, or scouring the crowds at the start of the race. Instead, we soaked up the riding that the various host cities had to offer.

Tomorrow morning (read: in 7 hours), I’ll be at the start of the 2013 ATOC in SF and then at the Rapha Cycle Club for my photo show all day. Swing by both to catch up!

This weekend kicks off the 2013 Amgen Tour of California and to get everyone in spirits for the event, I’m having a photo show at the Rapha Cycle Club SF. The show is being hung tomorrow (Saturday, May 11th) and will be up all week. Then, come Sunday, May 19th, we’re throwing an all-day “opening party” event.

So if you’re in SF next weekend, come down Sunday and say hi.

I’ll be covering the 2013 ATOC again this year, but a little differently, so stay tuned!

Here are the latest from Milliman! Watch as he profiles Team Blanco as they take on the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, as well as the ladies of Rabobank-Liv/Giant.

The guys at Manual for Speed have you covered (well, Cannondale covered) for ‘cross in 2013. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds. Check out more at MFS 2.0.

Emily has a new gallery up on her site entitled “Cobbled Classics“. The photos should get you into the mood for some Flemish fun, especially with road season in full swing and the exhilarating finish of the 2013 Paris Roubaix.

Also, that looks like Chris Milliman‘s hands in the last photo. He’s shooting film? I’d like to see that Chris.

Speaking of the UCI track cycling worlds, British Cycling‘s Flickr has a bunch of great photos from the last day of training in Minsk. See the full set here.

This weekend is NAHBS over here at PiNP but you can also watch the 2013 UCI Track Worlds on UCI’s Youtube channel, beginning February 20th – 24th.

CNN ran a piece online about Manual for Speed, the brainchild of Emiliano Granado and Daniel Wakefield Pasley. It’s not only great to see mainstream media covering cycling in a positive light, but this is great exposure for the dynamic duo of cycling photography. Check the piece out on CNN.
