DERAILEDUK IS BACK!











Thank jaysus! I missed reading it, so I hope it's back for good, even if it only comes out once every six months. If you like your pro cycling coverage on the iconoclastic side, check out DerailedUK here.

First Day in the Mountains
















From Barcelona to Andorra, today is the first mountain stage in this year's Tour. Who's going to attack first? And how will my fantasy TdF team, made up exclusively of sprinters, fare? Poorly, I'm guessing. If you're trying to find live feeds of the action, CyclingFans is your best bet.

Feiyue Bike















Feiyue, a Sino-French (that means Chinese-French, you peons) sneaker brand have put together a few nice fixed-gear bikes to showcase their brand. Why? Because they love bikes! Hey, who doesn't? Did you hear you can buy fixed-gear bikes at Urban Outfitters now? It's the scandal of the century. Anyway, maybe I'm being cynical, but I think the people at Feiyue just wanted to get their brand some cheap attention. It worked, I suppose. I mean, I'd certainly never heard of them before, but now they've put their sticker on a few top tubes, damn, I'm all over their stuff!
