We have some fantastic news coming out of the National Bike Summit in Washington, DC this morning. The League of American Bicyclists is reporting that Google Maps has finally added a "bike there" option to the choices of directions between two locations.

According to the press release from the League of American Bicyclists:

"On July 25, in celebration of drivers' rights, many cars will use the Left Hand Canyon Road, drive slowly, and many may break down unexpectedly, blocking areas to the cyclists on the return leg of the Sunrise Century. Many cars and safe drivers all working together can send a message to the statehouse to restrict cycling on our roads, which are our only alternatives during family emergencies, commuting and required duties."

The Bicycle Times & Dirt Rag World Tour is storming Richmond, VA this weekend and roaming the halls of the the North American Handmade Bicycle Show sponsored by Shimano. Our road crew is getting the lowdown out the latest in custom bicycles from builders from all over the world—as well as the freshest produce from component and apparel designers. Shutterbug Justin has been busy at the show snapping pics.

Hot, hot, hot! But so damn cool. The navy colored Bicycle Times cycling cap is simply our best-looking cap yet.

The Bicycle Times and Dirt Rag World Tour is headed to the North American Handmade Bicycle Show sponsored by Shimano in Richmond, Virginia on February 26-28th. This is the first year that NAHBS will be on the east coast and the Richmond show is shaping up to be larger than the 2009 Indianapolis show, which had 115 exhibitors and over 6,400 attendees.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that a new study by University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate students says that bicycling generates more than a $1.5 billion economic impact in Wisconsin, exceeding the impact of even the deer hunting industry.
