Watch the Giro d’Italia Online for Free

My new favorite website (beside LMS and CWR of course) is UniversalSports.com. I’d never heard of it until I tried to find some live video streaming of the Giro d’Italia, usually on Cycling.tv (for a $$). But, on there it was stated that they had lost the rights to broadcast the race. It seems that [...]

Does This Deserve a Life-Time Ban?

Check out this video of the final sprint from Stage 8 of the “Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey“! Specifically, look at the yellow jersey (Daryl Impey from South Africa) at 3:45 into the video (the bottom, left of the screen).  This is either the worst display of sportsmanship you’ve ever seen or a very unfortunate [...]

2nd Annual LMS “March Madness” Bracket Challenge – FINAL UPDATE March 30th

Final scores: Cliff 690, Chris: 720! It’s that time of year again!

You Be The Judge…

Are these men the same person? The cyclist is Alberto Contador famous for winning the 2007 Tour de France while the bottom is Ryan from “The Office“.

Could BJ Novak (Ryan) really be Alberto Contador with contacts?

Exercise: Fitness Ads May Raise the Appetite

By NICHOLAS BAKALAR

Published: March 5, 2009

New research suggests that campaigns to promote exercise may have an unintended consequence: they make people eat more.

In a study in the March issue of the journal Obesity, 53 college students were asked to judge a series of posters from an exercise campaign and, on [...]

I Tried….

About 3 months ago I planned on making some inventions. One such was a pair of heated handlebars for a bike. They were to be powered by batteries but re-charged by the front wheel.

The outcome you may have guessed wasn’t great. I wasn’t able to find a battery with enough juice to power the [...]

Hard Sun…

DZNutz

Some of you may know of Dave Zabriske.  Well, he is a kooky guy who has now invented a new chamois cream: dznuts.  Checkout his website for some vids.

Where to Next?
