There are a lot of rules governing the production of road bicycles, especially those used in races like the Tour de France. Standardized dimensions, materials, and functionality are set by Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), and must be strictly followed. One designer, Robert Egger of Specialized, decided to throw all of that out the window and push the limits of possibility. Behold the fruits of his labor, the FUCI. Yes, the name means what you think it means.

Speaking of rules, did you know that all trees break at essentially the same windspeed? 94/mph. Explore why at the link below.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers out there!

It's amazing how much times have changed. As an example, take a look at the list of rules for women riding bikes, published in 1895. Incredible! Then, see how the legend of Johnny Appleseed has changed over the years. You might be surprised to find out what's fact and what's fiction. Finally, learn about the Sada Bike, which folds up to the size on umbrella. That's a mighty big difference from ye olde penny farthing!
