Johanna Jørgensen - “die dänische Zweiradfahrerin”, so die Radfahr-Chronik 1891, “erregt durch ihre ausserordentlichen Leistungen die Bewunderung der ganzen Sportswelt”. Im August 1890 legte sie “unter strengster Kontrolle” 252 Kilometer in 11 Stunden 49 Minuten zurück. Auf dem Tandem startete sie bei mehreren Rennen mit dem bekannten dänischen Radrennfahrer Christian Ingemann-Petersen.

So happy to see Steve Tilford be inducted by U.S. BICYCLING HALL OF FAME! Sad he is no longer with us to be recognized. He was an icon to many of us.

Older newspapers had such style! For those cyclists in the crowd, take note of the Bobby Walthour headline...

What more could you want? Don't worry if you can't ride, they will teach you for free. Truly a "full service" shop.

Hello to all my new followers!

For those passionate about bicycles, reply & share your favorite bicycle images (& tell us a bit about them)!

I'll start us off! Here is a picture taken my senior year of high school (30 years ago!). The kit I am wearing was the first racing club I competed under, the jerseys hanging were a collection of first jersey owned, future university's collegiate cycling team, etc.
