Public Service Announcement - Hold on to Your Bottles

Every race season, countless crashes are caused by bouncing bidons.

ONLY YOU

CAN PREVENT STRAY BOTTLES

With the Poolesville Road race this weekend, it's time to take off those fancy carbon cages, and install some cheap aluminum ones. Bend em a bit to make 'em extra snug.

Dropped bottles are bad enough, but somehow the idea of tossing your bottle at the end of the race persists as an acceptable practice in some minds. IT IS NOT. You'd have to be as skinny as "the next great American Climber" for 2oz. of plastic to hold you back.

Don't believe that it's dangerous? Check it:

Together, we can make a difference.

PSA - Lititz Cat 3 and Cat 4 Crashes - Don't Overcook Corners

First off..hope everybody involved in this crash is ok. From our sources, we heard the initial crashee got taken away to the hospital but can walk and function. We hope this is the case. 

Secondly, HOLY CRAP! This is even making the rounds on non-cycling related websites by NBA features writers. Oh, do non-cyclists love to see us smash ourselves up good. 

Thirdly, don't overcook corners. It's bad for your health. 

Fourthly, the guy screaming to 'go go go go!' after the crash...What up with that? Discuss. 

*Update...The above is the Cat 4 crash. Below is the Cat 3 crash. Damn! You were gonna win bro!
