Floyd Landis finished today's stage 15: Gap to L'Alpe d'Huez of the Tour de France and today wears the tour leader’s yellow jersey.

But it isn’t just the jersey that is yellow but also his Pro Machine SLC01.

BMC surprised Landis today with a cutomised bike to reflect his accomplishments over this season, and to fully celebrate should Floyd wins. (He is my pick)

Tour De France Fever

Well it is that time again, and I have fallen of the edge of the earth.

Tour de France is here again, and NO LANCE!!!!

Hoping Phonak's Floyd Landis will win... If for no other reason than he rode in last years "El Tour de Tucson"

Go Floyd!!

People all over the country are finding out the bicycle is a better way to go. Calculate the savings you'll see riding your bike!

"Okies" are not as backward as some might think...

Oklahoma Passes Strong New Bike Law

Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry signed a powerful new bicycle law on Friday, May 19, 2005.

The law:
1. Re-defines 'bicycle' for the purposes of the state's vehicle code, eliminating restricting wheel sizes and configurations
2. Eliminates confusing language as to where bicyclists should ride on the road
3. Eliminates the state mandate to ride on sidepaths/sidewalks
4. Eliminates the mandatory side light requirement for bicycles (not reflection)
5. Establishes a minimum safe-passing distance of three feet and sets up fines (in addition to other citations and penalties for manslaughter, improper use of a motor vehicle, etc.) for a motorist who injures or kills a cyclist.

Oklahoma is now the third state to have a safe-passing law and the second to back it up with specific fines. Arizona and Utah are the other states with safe-passing laws, with Arizona having specific fines. Advocates in other states can now use Oklahoma's law for legal precedence to aid them in their work.

The law was passed with the help of a strong push from the Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition.
