"Be There In a Jiffy"

It's critical that we are always aware of what we are doing regardless of the vehicle we are using. Bike, board, car..etc. When we are not aware other's people's lives are at risk. Check out this link http://www.dailycamera.com/letters/ci_13403812 No one deserves to get this treatment when they are enjoying themselves cycling. Not only is it important to be aware as a driver, but it is important to be aware as a rider. Sometimes we lose awareness and we can't forget that anything can happen in a jiffy (1/100th of a second).

I hope you have brakes

Now doesn't this look like fun?

Cruising down the hill without a worry in the world is one thing,

but cruising down a hill with these sick chopper bikes is something else.

We have been seeing some wild bikes around, and want to what kind of

bikes you guys ride.Submit your photo on our Facebook page. I Bike CU.

Become a fan and post it. See what other cyclists have up their sleeves as well...

Send me your wacky bikes

OMG! Yeah I said it. Doesn't it remind you of middle school online chatting? I know you guys walk around campus and you just have to smirk at a bike you've seen. So use your awesome technologic phones with video and cameras to send them to me. Send them to our facebook fan page. Visit I Bike CU to submit your funny bike images.

Hey you, guy. Or girl. I'm all for riding with a friend but seriously, get the hell out of the way when someone is behind you. I bet you are one of those cars that causes traffic from Boulder to Downtown Denver. You are that person that is going 35 in a 60 in the left lane aren't you? I'm not mad at you, I just dislike you. I'm sure you are a great person, I'm sure you do have a heart; but for goodness sake have a heart to get the hell out of the way. Remember, you are a good human being. You're just a bad lane sharer.

To Fix or Not to Fix...

Have you ever jumped on a trampoline for 15 minutes then get off to real gravity again? It's a weird feeling isn't it? It feels like you should be jumping and that you weigh 5 times as much as you usually do. Have you ever tried a fixie bike and you aren't sure if you like it or not? I've been getting some questions about riding fixies or not. As soon as you hop on that bike it first feels awkward, stopping is awkward, and you have to continually pedal. I suggest you take a few moments to just try it. Take a couple test rides and see if you can handle the limits and or advantages of riding a fixie.

May my front tire rest in peace.

Perfect example folks. Perfect! I was riding on 27th way minding my own business this weekend when I almost had a life changing moment. No I didn't meet Megan Fox..but I flipped over my bike. You know how? I couldn't find my line lock so I used my roomates U-lock instead. I had it in a plastic grocery bag suspended from the left handle bar grip. It was a great ride like usual until I had to stand up to go up hill. You how your weight sways back and forth when riding right? Well that's when the suspended U-lock got caught in my front spoke. In a split second I was on the pavement in excruciating pain. Face torn, chest bleeding and discombobulated I walked into Subway to wash off my bloody shaky hands. So if it wasn't for me not finding my line lock, to me using a plastic grocery back instead of a backpack, to taking an up hill route, then I wouldn't be here warning you to always take precautions. Trust me...

What's your song?

We all love to sing. Don't deny it, everyone does it. Whether you're in the shower, riding, or just sitting there you sing. Ever notice how you sing better when you're alone than when someone is present? Anyways prepare yourselves for a ride, a ride that you have never taken before. Get a song or a playlist if you like and make sure they pump you up. Pump your burning legs until you cant pump anymore. Do not stop until the song or playlist is over. How far do you get? Now improve that distance the next day. Don't just challenge yourself, dare yourself. Below is my song.

(you'll love it!)

Stop and I mean it

Of course you like speed, who doesn't. You would love to fly down that hill without having to stop at that annoying little red sign on the side of the road. I was riding the other day and had a close one with the golden gates atop those bright clouds. We were racing (to prove our masculinity of course) down the street and I proudly blew past the stop sign. My wise friend stopped however. I car just went by and I if i hadnt lost the race, I could have been road kill. So bless my friend for having a nicer, more expensive and light bike. It it wasn't for his awesomely fast speed I wouldn't have been able to write this thing. Stop, do it, live longer and have babies.
