OK, she might not be quite as outgoing or as well-known as Chrissie Wellington, but when it comes to racing, Caroline Steffen is the real deal. ...read more

from Cyclingnews Features on 2/3/12 11:24 AM

Two 20-year-olds called Luke Armstrong and Charlie Vaughters step out of their team buses, ensure the tiny cameras fitted into their stems are not obscured and then pedal their bikes through the polite fans in the paddock – sorry, village départ . Although French remains the official language of cycling, in India in 2020 this now seems like an affectation. In Delhi, the buses are actually in the exclusive area with the VIPs and paying customers. These people have access to the riders, ... ...read more

White Lightning Wet Ride lubricant review

from BikeRadar.com Road on 2/3/12 8:05 AM

We used this lube through some really punishing conditions on a wet ride through Scotland ? gritty and wet day after day. It survived 60-plus-kilometre days through those conditions, and only needed a top up each morning to make sure that the coverage was maintained.Thick but not too thick, it didn't seem to attract too much dirt to the drivetrain, and we hardly dented a 120ml bottle in a week, so it goes a long way. A great lube that's useful throughout the year.This article was originally published in What Mountain Bike magazine. ...read more
