Momentum Magazine post a new link: Sept/ Oct Issue 53 is now available 8 months, 3 weeks ago · View

Julie Hirschfeld was that woman. She hadn’t ridden a bike since she was a kid, but now she trucks her four-year-old twins around in a Dutch bakfiets. She also opened the bike shop Adeline Adeline in Tribecca, New York City, back in March 2010. “It wasn’t like I was a passionate road biker for years,” Hirschfeld [...] -

As a mom, Armstrong’s cycling needs are different from those of many other riders, which can be a challenge. “We were a one-car family and didn’t want to buy another (car), and school was only two miles away – silly to drive, yet too far for my just-six-year-olds to walk.” Wondering what to do, Armstrong joked that [...] -

Seeing as I don’t really like beer, usually am in bed by 11 p.m., and don’t much like slow group rides, these rides hold no appeal. [...] -
