Madone Theft at The Bicycle Co.

If you happen to see a 2009 Madone 5.2 with Project One red and white paint job rolling around. It's STOLEN. I have a picture coming soon to help with the search for our bike and the thief. The suspect is a white male, about 5'9" 200lbs. If you have any information that could assist us in our search call me at 915-544-2453.

Thanks,

It could happen to any of us...

It's one thing when an amateur takes a serious spill, but something terrifies me when it happens to one of the best bike riders in the world. I remember watching the novice class racers at Desert Downs several years ago. You could compare those races to watching someone wheelie with a loose front wheel. It's not a question of "if" they are going to wreck, but rather a question of "how bad". As a new rider, you are expected to crash. It is part of earning your stripes.

Sadly, every now and then it happens to someone at the top of their game. It's disturbing to know that if it happened to them there is an exponentially better chance it could happen to you.

Wear your helmets kids.

The Savior of BMX: Van Homan

Depending on who you ask, Bicycle Motocross peaked during the mid-eighties. Movies like Rad and Pee Wee's Big Adventure played a huge role in the sport's popularity. But just like everything else, BMX has it's ups and downs. After the novelty of 80's "freestyle" trend wore off, the sport went into hiding. I've only been riding since the mid 90's but at that time, BMX was just coming back out of the underground. This could be attributed to the popularity of the X-Games. TV helped put BMX back in the spotlight, and sparked the interest of a whole new generation of riders. Despite these last 14 glorious years, according to some 20 inch publications, BMX is heading into another recession. In an effort to keep the market share of the aging BMX'er, many "hardcore" BMX manufacturers have begun making fixed gear and mountain bikes. While some may think this is a great idea, others are calling it the demise of BMX.

Here is a clever video someone put together to illustrate what is going on.
Enjoy!
