This deserves it's own thread. The article was emailed to me.

The slightly longer version of video.
 
The "bad" words are uncensored.  The last piece shows the rider picking up the camera, not his helmet or limp body. Meaning the driver knocked the camera off trying to break it. It also shows a somewhat big box on a rack, on a road with no shoulder.

Normally would put this on the Out-of-Bounds calendar but this usually fills up so quickly that it's not possible to buy last-minute normal-price registrations a month before the event. So if you know you want to do it, head over there... http://www.bike.nyc/

We're planning a self-guided tour of the Loire Valley in July and looking for a good (& reasonable) tour company for our accomodations, bike rentals, route maps, etc. Anyone have experience with "Detours of France" or have a recommendation?

Winter bike boots. Anyone use 45NRTH Wolvhammer?

I'm using Lake boots, but noticed this solution has its limits in the mid 20's. I hear the Wolfhammer can take it own to zero Farenheit. Any users?  Had to add Toe Warmers on Saturday.

Loire Valley: seeking advice for possible July tour

We're planning a bike trip from Angers to Blois next summer. Interested in limited use of a touring company (bike rental, self-guided itinerary, hotel reservations, luggage transport) and considering "Detours in France" for this. Anyone had experience with this company or have suggestions of others?
