Late fall through winter is when the used market fills up. Here’s the research to do before you leave the house, the 20-minute inspection to run when you get there, and the checks that keep you from buying someone else’s stolen bike. The used market is where the value in cycling lives. A bike in…
Forty-five minutes, a course you can see all of, and a bike you probably already own. If you’ve ever thought about racing and never done it, this is the discipline designed for you. Cyclocross is a cool-weather race on a short, multi-terrain circuit — grass, mud, gravel, pavement, sand — with obstacles like barriers and…
ASO presents the full route on Thursday, October 22. The first three days are already public — and they’re the most ambitious opening the Tour has staged in Britain.

Daylight saving time ends at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1. On Monday, an evening commute that was in daylight is in the dark — and the federal crash data says that’s the most dangerous three-hour window of the year for cyclists.

For the entire history of the industry, e-bike battery safety standards have been voluntary. A rule proposed in June would make them mandatory — and it goes further than the standards it’s built on. If you own an e-bike, are thinking about buying one, or just live in a building where somebody charges one in…
In May, a Brussels court told cycling’s governing body it couldn’t justify its own safety rule. The ruling reaches a long way past bike racing — and it explains why the 2026 rulebook looks the way it does. If you follow pro cycling casually, you know that a lot of equipment rules changed this year:…
Zwift’s fall 2026 update dropped on 9 September, and for once the headline features target the two things people have complained about for years. Here’s what’s new, what’s still missing, and whether the alternatives have caught up. The clocks are about to change. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, the next six months of your…
Fifty-two years ago, Eddy Merckx won a world title on this mountain in 30-degree heat, on a steel bike, in front of 150,000 people. Only 18 of the 70 starters finished. Here’s what’s different when the peloton comes back on 27 September — and what isn’t. On 25 August 1974, the Road World Championships were…
Camillien-Houde is 1.6 kilometres of winding park road that most Montrealers know as a shortcut. On 27 September, the world’s best riders will go up it twelve times, and the last one will settle who wears the rainbow jersey. Nothing about the Montreal course looks frightening on paper. There is no Alpine pass, no wall…
