    I think Momentum biking magazine sort of fills that slot- the allover biking lifestyle...biking for fun, for health, for commuting and shopping (working bikes), kids and family biking, touring, students, mental sanity, etc.

    I personally am the total weirdo who casually mountain and road bikes but enjoys reading about any discipline. I have no desire to do any cyclocross but will read about it. Loaded touring sounds like the pits but I can be very interested in an article on it and even the gear for it. I don't road race but I know the ins and outs of crits. So broad sweeping is just fine for me.

    The gal w/her drawers down is Rachel Lloyd. That is a tattoo that she's showing. It was the prize for winning the Singlespeed CX Championships.

    She's a really, really awesome rider for the Proman team and podiums regularly in national level MTB, CX, and Road races.

    3rd place @ the Tour of Cali Crit:


    She's 2008 Super D Champ and placed 2nd at the US CX nationals

    Is it too nitpicky to ask why, on their blog, they spelled calendar "calander"? Any copy editors out there...? Or is this some cycling in joke I don't know?
