ORICA GreenEDGE's Video of Their Bus Getting Stuck is Hilarious

We can all probably agree that the first stage of this year's Tour de France was chaotic (the New York Times has a great write-up here.) What with ORICA GreenEDGE's bus getting stuck at the finish line and the crash that took down several riders, it was certainly on the crazy side. But at least the folks at ORICA GreenEDGE aren't so serious they can't laugh at themselves a little. While this first stage recap video may not be intentionally hilarious, it's certainly funny in concept and received at least a few laughs from us.

Recovering a Stolen Bike With Pedal Power

When one of Rock the Bike's best cargo bikes was stolen after a meeting a few weeks ago, team members reached out to friends on social media, friends and a stolen bike recovery network to keep an eye out. So when one of the crewmembers spotted the highly-customized Mundo 500 locked to a sign in his neighborhood. 

They called SFPD to report it, stuck their own lock on it and came back in the morning with an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel and a Rock the Bike Pedal Power Utility Box to collect the energy from two different bike generators to saw off the offending lock. All of which is captured in the video above.

Have you ever had your bike stolen? Did you get it back?

Bicycle Sounds are the Best Sounds

Bikes are awesome. So is music. So how about a song composed entirely of the sounds of a bicycle? Music to our ears.
