PROJECTRINITY is a unique, one-off bike based on the GIANT TRINITY time trial/triathlon bike, specially built to generate resources and raise awareness for the Christian charity, World Vison Canada.

It's for the kids! For God! For you to feel good about giving to a real necessary need:
www.worldvision.ca

The bicycle frame [the heart of the bicycle] is hand-made, state-of-the-art, and designed by Simon Smart a former Formula 1 racing engineer and the current brains behind the elite, uber high performance bicycle parts company ENVE Composites. The bike itself has the title of the Fastest Bike in the World.

*It Is Ridden:


It’s a ground-breaking, wind-cheating design that’s been proven by world championship-winning results, wind tunnel testing and competition at the highest levels of the sport, with a host of proprietary technologies and features that make this the sleekest clock-beater ever: 
• AeroDrive aerodynamically honed stem-and-fork control center that locks the stem, steerer and fork crown into a single structural unit for ultimate handling 
• MegaDrive aero downtube and top tube for unprecedented front-end steering precision 
• SpeedControl proprietary braking system that’s virtually invisible to the air 
• PowerCore oversize bottom bracket and chainstays, for superior pedaling efficiency and clock-crushing power delivery 
• Vector SLR aero seatpost with integrated internal seatclamp for aero, efficiency and maximum fore-aft stiffness and pedaling stability - See more at: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/news/article/giant.trinity.advanced.sl.professional.grade.for.everyone/13717/#sthash.fDmnAeW8.dpuf

The State of Pro Cycling - Post-USADA Dope Scandal

2 words for you: UNITED KINGDOM.

Or Great Britain, British Isles, heck even England.
THIS is where the BEST action in protour ROAD CYCLING is at.

Another 2 for you:  Bradley Wiggins & Chris Froome!

And finally, 1 bomb to drop on ya:  They have already slated the 2014 Tour de France is not starting in France. It will begin in...you guessed it, the UK!

But, alas, this upcoming Tour will be in boring old France :P...!...Corsica to be exact but fear not!
This 2013 Tour de France is....the 100th one!  Sweet!  This centennial cycling sweetness will get a record number of people all over this sick globe watchin', cheerin', bettin' and...travelling? To France to actually see n feel n smell the sweat o these sick, sexy(?) super cyclists of the world??  Oh yeah, I'll go, Lord and finances - willing!  Sigh....we shall see....we shall see indeed...at least on the tele on ch98 or at least on steephill.tv ;)

Ride On!

Thanks Yuri H. for the steephill.tv tip!

Bicycling / Cycling Efficiency / Performance ! :O Thank GOD

Hmmm what else shall I write about as an adult Christian-Chinese-Canadian-Torontonian 4-season cyclist... How God has given me this opp! Yes! He rocks! Therefore we rock! "Because I (Jesus) live, you will also live" John 14.19 :O Woah.  That's BIG.  Only God can say that and back it up, eh? ;)  Love Him.

Thank you Loooord for bikes.  Bikes being by FAR the most efficient means of transportation. Period. I am talking worlds more than ANY other vehicle incl. cars, jets. even any animals.

This was proven and documented by Richard Weber at some university (I recall Duke or somewhere on the East coast of U.S.).  Google it.  Absolutely awesome. No wonder there is that special something that happens when you bike...yeah, it's called YOU workin in perfect harmony with a MACHINE to acheive the most efficient thing in existence!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance :

"bicycle's performance, in both biological and mechanical terms, is extraordinarily efficient. In terms of the amount of energy a person must expend to travel a given distance, investigators have calculated it to be the most efficient self-powered means of transportation.[1] From a mechanical viewpoint, up to 99% of the energy delivered by the rider into the pedals is transmitted to the wheels"

BOOYAH

RIDE ON.

Le Tour de France 2010!

IDEA: Names on all riders' jerseys pleeeeaase! Just like almost every other sport! Currently, it is too difficult to identify riders - even for the pro-commentators! I believe the SKY cycling team has lead the way by putting riders' names on jerseys for the 2010 Tour de France. This will catch on...
