The Radavist

Here’s a great video about what cycling is to the women of Los Angeles:

“For the longest time I wanted to do a piece on women’s cycling and got carried away with work, a cycling related accident and just life. The other day I was looking through my feed on Facebook and came across Asia’s post and that gave me the nudge I needed to make the video. I was hoping to get some interviews to feature on the video but Instead I let their riding do all the talking.

Special thanks to Mobbin’ Monday, OC Brakeless and Wolfpack Hustle (Don) for continually supporting
women’s cycling.”

Hey SF, if you’re looking for something to do tomorrow night, August 13th, make sure to check out the Moth Attack CX art auction at the ALITE Outpost. Details are above in the flier. See ya there!

A reader sent this over with the title “the most beautiful Bishop I have ever seen.” Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yet I can’t argue with him. See more of this beautiful Bishop at the Campy Only blog!

If you’ve been considering riding the Women’s 100, now’s your chance. This weekend, thousands upon thousands of female cyclists will take to the streets in cities around the world and ride 100km. In Austin, the ride meets up at Mellow Johnny’s at 7am on Sunday. Be there for a chill pace and over 100 other ladies. To find out what’s happening in your city, head over to Rapha.

Wow. Cinelli collaborates with a lot of affluent or well-known artists but I’m always drawn to their support of up and coming talent. Ana Benaroya‘s work is phenomenal. See more at her Tumblr!

Here’s a video from Los Angeles’ She Wolf Attack Team featuring the scenic climb inside the Angeles National Forest known as Big T.

Seeing videos like this are always inspirational, especially when it’s from a woman’s perspective:

“Megamoon is a film about a journey by bike where love and adventure come together. Hannah’s personal story of how she came to be pulling a heavy trailer across the world’s longest mountain bike trail known as the Great Divide.”

Julie Furtado, Marla Streb, Tara Llanes, Jill Kitner, and Rosara Joseph. All of these women have ridden Yeti in the past when both the brand itself and the industry was younger. As technology changed, the bikes became more advanced and fit became even more of an importance. Enter the Yeti BETI line. Two bikes, a SB5c and an ASRc, both designed with a female fit in mine. Both are derivatives of the existing models, but built with different sized wheels to accommodate smaller riders. It’s great to see options out there for women in mountain biking. Head over to Yeti to see more on the SB5c BETI and ASRc BETI.

The Blackburn Ranger Camp was a total blast this year. Bikepacking, bourbon, bb-guns and more, all of which are captured here in this video showcasing the new Rangers’ aspirations. Best of luck to all of the Rangers and I hope this video inspires you to plan a trip of your own!

Benedict from For the Love of Mud recently was in Austin for an extended period of time with work. While here, he shot video of a few local female BMX rippers and just released a short teaser for the project. I can’t wait to see the full cut!

The ladies of LA Sweat mean business. Their throwback 80’s kit looks rad, their attitudes are rad, results are rad and this photoshoot with Manual for Speed is, you guess it: RAD. Read all about LA Sweat at Manual for Speed and pre-order their kick-ass kit at their web shop!

“LA Sweat was formed by the need to infuse a little more estrogen into the male-dominated, testosterone-soaked sport of cycling without sacrificing speed and style.”

Yes!
