Oct 13th, 2012 at 8:00AM: When Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de France a few months back, he did it astride a Pinarello Dogma 2 road bike frame, which is made of carbon fiber, weighs just two pounds and comes with a price tag of about $16,000.

Jun 18th, 2009 at 11:30AM: When the Islington city council tried to think of a way to slow down cyclists on their famous canalway, they came up with a creative and (hopefully) effective solution. The way I see it, this piece of "art" may have several unintended consequences:

Great Explorations has put together two trips for the coming year that deliver the latter (to ride it yourself, you have to earn it).
The first itinerary offers great views of at least three stages of the race, including the mountain ...Play chicken in Helsinki traffic
Feb 6th, 2009 at 9:00AM: I was pretty impressed by Helsinki's public transportation, which was more than ample with trolleys, subways and buses. There were few SUVs, and the bike lane was rarely empty. While the Finns got the ingredients right, the mixing was ... well ... suboptimal.
