If you like watching people jump stuff on BMX bikes, street riding, California or cool music, you should check this video just put out by Mutiny Bikes and Etnies. There's a crash or two thrown in as well, just to show that even the pros wipe out from time to time.  It's the best 8:30 you'll spend all day.

Watch it here: A Trip from San Francisco to San Diego, a BMX video from Etnies and Mutiny Bikes.

Fred Zahradnik, the About.com guide to GPS has a road-tested review of the Edge 800, and gives you the skinny on this newest Garmin device aimed specifically at cyclists.  Among other things, he says

So far, I'm impressed with the unit's bright touchscreen display and its very wide range of functions and capabilities. The Edge 800 includes features not seen on previous Garmins, or any other brand of bike computer.

Saxo Bank, main title sponsor of the cycling team with the same name owned and managed by Bjarne Riis, will become a co-title sponsor of the team with by American software and technologies company SunGard, beginning in 2011. The team will be called "Saxo Bank-SunGard Professional Cycling Team."

This year, the team features some of the top stars in professional cycling, including brothers Andy and Frank Schleck, Fabian Cancellara, and fan favorite Jens Voigt.  Though Voigt and the Schlecks will be departing for 2011, Saxo Bank-SunGard has added current Tour de France champion Alberto Contador who recently inked a contract to ride with the team next year, which means that Saxo Bank-SunGard is still strongly positioned for success in 2011.

In a joint statement, Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen, the co-founders of Saxo Bank, said: "Bjarne Riis has delivered excellent results over the past couple of years and has an impressive plan for 2011. . . While our past collaboration with Bjarne Riis has been fantastic, we also know and trust the new co-title sponsor, SunGard, and that has made this strategic decision an even easier one to make."

Discussion: is there anyone who can beat Saxo Bank-SunGard next year?  Comment below.

Dan Maes, candidate for governor of Colorado, is warning voters that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's policies, particularly his efforts to boost bike riding, are "converting Denver into a United Nations community."

Maes, in comments to supporters at a rally and in follow-up interviews, also said that Hickenlooper's efforts to promote bike-riding and public transit "could threaten our personal freedoms." Hickenlooper is Maes' primary opponent in the November election.

Maes added, "These aren't just warm, fuzzy ideas from the mayor. These are very specific strategies that are dictated to us by this United Nations program that mayors have signed on to."

O.K., O.K., guess I'll have to start revealing the secret U.N. handshake known to all bike riders, and produce my blue membership card when asked.  This would be funny if it weren't actually true.

Read article in Denver Post with more information about Maes and his views on cycling.
