One of the best online videos I've seen in awhile, this one talks about fixing "The Great Mistake" which they are referring to the autocentric development of the past 60-ish years. Even though this vid highlights the issues in NYC pretty much 90% of the towns across America, even Boulder, can relate to the submission citizens granted to the roads. Maybe now is the time for "Reclamation of the streets".

Make CycloCross a Winter Olympic Sport

Cycling lost a cycling event in the summer Olympics so why not pick one up in the winter? Besides, if we have to be subjected to brother/sister ice dancing again then I might boycott it. If you are interested in making Cyclocross a winter sport

If you have any "Friday Fun" items you've run across throughout the week, send to us at 303cycling.com. If funny and clean-ish (this isn't sesame street) then we'll post it and credit you.

First Friday Fun item is great, its MTB Cribs at Boulders' own Heather Irmiger and Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski's house. Enjoy

Being a bike courier is one of the jobs I day dream on from time to time especially on those beautiful spring days... Maybe in my next life...

Look forward to the day when there are some roller races in the Denver/Boulder area. Last year the Handlebar Grill had a few.

Today's Friday fun is a feel good story about a local cycling organization Bicycles for Humanity Colorado. This group collects old bikes that are donated to them, fixes them up to be ridable, packs them into a shipping container with bike stands and tools and ships them off to Africa where the bikes are unloaded and given out and the container itself acts as a make shift bike shop. They are a 501(c)(3) with 100% of their donations going to their goal which is to address a fundamental barrier to African development– mobility. Poor transport systems mean poor access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. To learn more watch the video below, check out b4hcolorado.org or check out their very informative brochure on Bicycles for Humanity Colorado. Their next shipment of bikes to Africa leaves at the end of January

How it works

Heather you crack me up... or maybe Willow does, not sure which is funnier in the first clip.

303Cycling wishes everyone a Merry Christmas! Santa, all I want for Christmas is to live the High Life (tm) with a brand new Raleigh Rainier.

For those who missed yesterday's Fearless QA show on bycle and how they will change the cycling culture in Denver and across the country then watch it below. I think it is an 1hr long show but worth the watch

Now on to the less serious Friday videos. Did your cyclocross season suck? Did you attend some of the many cyclocross camps and #wednesdayworlds session and yet you still suck and lack skills needed to be a cyclocross super star? Well Chris Horner has your solution, watch his video and gain his sick cross skills he has while smiling the entire time.

It was hard to wait until Friday but the recent release of Team Radio Shack's race kits are getting a lot of bad press. Joe Lindsey recently ran a humorous story listing Team Radio Shack's jersey up with other great bad team kits... now Lance needs to get a Mullet like Brochard did. Local teams have had some pretty bad kits, my favorite is a local team that has a white and grey kit that under some circumstances is very sheer in the bib... not hot. Also the seasame street jersey... really, who buys those? And my favorite was my 1995 University of Missouri jersey we wore at MTB Nats, a sister of the team made them by hand in the car on the way to Colorado, but we weren't the worst, some school in NM had T-shirts that were hand painted, probably intoxicated too. What past team jerseys have you seen are just plain bad?

Before we enter into today's Friday Fun let's get down to business and it is important to announce that all racers be aware of the different start times for Saturday's Colorado State CX Championships race.
Also don't forget that tonight there will be a Happy Hour with Katie Compton and her husband from 5-7pm at Boulder Cycle Sport in Boulder.

On with the fun...
