bamboo bikes

My dad sent me a link to this article. These bikes are pretty damn awesome and if I could afford one, I might consider getting one. But the best part of the article is how Calfee, the main subject of the article, is taking his bamboo bikes to Africa and teaching people how to make them.

francis mourey: french national cyclocross champion (again)

1 Francis Mourey (Francaise Des Jeux) 1:00:40
2 Steve Chainel (Bbox Bouygues Telecom)
3 Nicolas Bazin (CC Villeneuve St Germain) 0:00:22
4 David Derepas (U.V.C. Aube Troyes) 0:00:34
5 Arnaud Labbe (GSC Blagnac) 0:00:38

Much to my delight, Francis Mourey won his fifth French cyclocross tittle. I know other people might care that it was Francis again, but as a huge fan of his, I don’t care. I’m extremely pleased and proud of him. It seems, from what I can tell, that he had to overcome some sort of mechanical problem, a puncture it seems (haven’t found an English report of the race yet). And then he had to outsprint Steve Chainel for the win. But seriously, I’m so happy for him. Five wins! I love seeing him race cyclocross in the France team kit. It makes me really happy and it’s easy to spot him.

There an interview with Francis in French here and final results listed here.
