What’s Going On With Pidcock And Ineos? & Pogačar, The Best Season EVER?

Is this the best season we’ve ever witnessed in cycling? Tadej Pogačar has just claimed victory at Il Lombardia, achieving what we didn’t think was possible in the modern era of the sport—his stats are absolutely mind-blowing. Meanwhile, in a shocking exclusion, Tom Pidcock was dropped from Ineos Grenadiers’ lineup for Il Lombardia just 24 hours before the race, without explanation. What’s really happening between Pidcock and Ineos? We’re diving into the speculation, plus recapping the Simac Ladies Tour and all the latest transfer news!

Bike the Vote in the November General Election

From CalBike.org

by

One of the best ways to pass better laws around active transportation is to elect bike champions. Elected leaders who understand the value of safe streets for people biking, walking, and taking transit are critical allies in our work to bring better biking to all Californians. So, each election cycle, CalBike endorses candidates who we hope will become the next generation of bike-friendly leaders in Sacramento.

We only endorse candidates in tough races or running for open seats. If we don’t have an endorsement for your assemblymember or state senator, that doesn’t mean they aren’t a bike champion; it may just mean that theirs is a safe seat. We generally endorse only candidates for state seats, but we occasionally endorse someone running for a local seat, as is the case with one of our endorsements this year.

Here are nine excellent candidates who we expect to be strong allies in the campaign for safer streets. If you are in one of their districts, please vote for them and share this endorsement. If not, we’ve linked to their websites where you can find other ways to support bike-friendly leadership.

Everything you need to know about bike cameras

From Road.cc

by DAN ALEXANDER

More and more people are recording their rides, and most police forces run web portals for you to submit your footage of poor driving and bad behaviour. The head of road safety at Nextbase — the dash cam manufacturer that runs the National Dash Cam Safety Portal used by many police forces — revealed that submissions had increased by 25 per cent since the Highway Code changes of January 2022. If you want to help make the roads safer for everyone by reporting bad driving, here’s our handy guide to the types of cameras you can get, how and where to fit them, and what to do with your footage if you need to report an incident.

Types of cameras

We’re not worried about making cinematic epics here: an on-bike camera’s job is to provide evidence of a close pass or other incident, and to capture the number plates of the vehicles involved. There are many different cameras that can achieve that. We’ve reviewed a stack of them.

Breaking Travel News explores: Is Los Angeles a cycle-friendly city?

From BreakingTravelNews.com

It’s fair to say opinions on visiting Los Angeles are mixed.

For many, the sun-soaked city is an epicentre for creativity and glamour, thriving on diversity and opportunity. Known for its iconic palm tree-lined streets, world-famous entertainment industry and year-round sunny weather, the City of Angels offers a dynamic mix of cultures and lifestyles.

From the glamour of Hollywood to the serene beaches of Santa Monica, there is something for everyone.

On the other side of the scales, Los Angeles can be a challenging place to live. There is a perception the city is covered in a thick haze of pollution year-round, while the notorious traffic and long commutes make gridlock a daily frustration for many.

The sprawling nature of LA can make it feel disconnected, while the high cost of living, especially housing, puts immense pressure on people trying to make ends meet. Not for nothing is Los Angeles home to Skid Row, one of largest stable populations of homeless people in the United States.
