On Strava, or The Things You Love Should Love You Back
[there is a much more concise version of this on Medium’s OneZero publication] Strava, the since-forever social fitness service, announced yesterday that a number of features previously available for free to any user were being transferred instead into the company’s paid offering. The Internet responded as you might expect, everyone seems to have a hot…
On The Passing of Cycling.TV
Last week, numerous cycling outlets reported that Cycling.TV, long-time online broadcaster of Euro cycling events, would be shutting down forever in a little less than a month. The company’s message to subscribers ran thusly: Cycling.TV regrets to inform you that as of November 3, 2017 we will cease operations. As set forth in Clause 4…
A Twitter Thread on Eurosport, NBCSN, and Cycling TV Coverage
This calls for a [THREAD] /1 https://t.co/C4kI3mva5v — Cyclocosm.com (@Cyclocosm) September 27, 2017 Eurosport is the best cycling broadcaster in any language I speak, in part because they’ve been doing it forever: https://t.co/qB963kpMib /2 — Cyclocosm.com (@Cyclocosm) September 27, 2017 While it may *feel* like NBCSN’s been around forever, it’s only existed since 2012.

How The How The Race Was Won Was Made
For as long as I’ve been making these, people have been asking how long it takes. Now you can see for yourself (sort of).

In Case No One Told You, It Was Good Weekend For Cycling
I mean, don’t get me wrong—Omloop Het Nieuwsblad is always pretty upbeat because people are amped—dare I say stoked?—for actual racing to begin. But this year’s event played out in a particularly satisfying fashion. Relative newcomer Luke Rowe of Sky initiated the winning move still 60k from the line, not by slipping away in crash…
Deconstructing Self-Destruction
I got into a little Twitter dust-up this weekend with VeloNews’ John Bradley. It wasn’t on purpose—yes, I did tweet a rebuke at him, but it was based largely on my misinterpreting something he’d written. @johnwbradley @velonews shop your feelings away.
