Quoted: A bike remains upright when it is steered so that the ground reaction forces exactly balance all the other forces it experiences, such as gravitational, inertial or centrifugal if in a turn, and aerodynamic if in a crosswind.[4] Steering may be supplied by a rider or, under certain circumstances, by the bike itself. This self-stability is generated by a combination of several effects that depend on the geometry, mass distribution, and forward speed of the bike.

Quoted: To maximize comfort and performance on a bicycle, fit is essential. To insure accuracy work with a partner, take all measurements 3 times and then take the average. The WS Fit System is very precise and requires exact measurements to fit you correctly. Our recommendations will only be as good as your measurements. This will enable WS.com to recommend the correct size frame and stem length for your body type ensuring proper ergonomic fit.
Suggests a frame size, saddle height, handlebar width and reach.

Quoted:... two months ago pushed and broke Armstrong, the man who seemingly could never be broken in his seven consecutive Tour de France victories. Their competition, in the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race, set in motion Armstrong’s decision to make a professional comeback.

Many of these bikes seem to use the same frame across a series... might be a good idea to get the cheapest bike using a certain frame and upgrade components as needed. Reviews are generally very favourable especially from the Roubaix upwards.
Fujis are often on sale at Performance Bike priced well below msrp. Most carbon models are available as framesets.

Quoted: In the Single Speed World Championship bicycle race, riders are encouraged to wear costumes and not take the race too seriously. Some racers wore Boy Scout uniforms. Others wore pajamas, a full-body neon skinsuit, bunny ears or fishnet tights. Men willing to do the entire race in briefs received special prizes. Hecklers along the course route threw beer cans and shouted insults.

My custom Google Map of about 30miles of connecting bike trails from Seattle(Fremont) to Bothell to Marymoore Park in Redmond to Sammamish.
I'll finish the East Lake Sammamish trail(which stretches south to Issaquah) on the map as I complete it on my bike. See my last "cycling" fave for pdf maps of the larger King County trail system.

Quoted: Vande Velde, 31, who spent last winter training near Chicago, is enjoying the best season of his career. He spent a day last month as the leader of the prestigious Giro d’Italia... He and his coaches have developed innovative training techniques, nutritional plans and strategies. Here are a few cues from Mr. Vande Velde’s training regimen that road cyclists can use to ride faster, longer and smarter.
Tips on the bike, power output, food, training for hills in flat country and heading downhill.

Bike company that sells through their website and Costco. Good prices for the components used. Some of the frames are probably ADK frames(also available from Pedal Force). Prompt replies from customer support.
