1 World 2 Wheels

Trek & Fisher Dealers are working to get people to ride their bikes and make a more bike friendly world, one mile at a time.

We all know the world has some problems; gas is expensive and cars pollute, the roads are congested and humans are getting bigger. And not in a good way.

Luckily, there is a solution to these problems. A solution that burns calories, not gas. It doesn't waste fuel sitting in traffic. Something that could even bring communities closer together.

The solution is the bicycle.

With 40% of non-work related car trips being taken being two miles or less, what would happen if more people took the short trips on their bike? What if more communities had a "Safe Routes to Schools" plan so kids could ride to school safely? What would the world be like with more bicycle friendly communities?

Imagine arriving at work fresh instead of frazzled. Parking within feet of the building! Your kids getting exercise to and from school. Better still, commuting by bike IS exercising! And there are no carbon emissions from burning calories.

We all can ride and we have only one planet. Trek and Trek dealers challenge you to join us in making the world a more bike friendly place. You can start by riding your bike. It's the greenest thing you can do to help the earth.

MADISON, WI --John Burke introduced an ambitious advocacy program last night during Trek World. Trek’s president asked retailers to participate in its program, dubbed One World, Two Wheels.

Burke said Trek will provide leadership and commitment, as well as ads, brochures, T-shirts, billboards and signage. Trek & Fisher will donate $10 for every full-suspension bike sold to IMBA, for a minimum of $600,000 over the next three years. Trek also will donate $1 per helmet to Bicycle Friendly Communities, for a minimum of $1 million over the next three years.

Burke charged all U.S dealers with helping Trek to achieve one “very important” goal: to increase U.S. trips by bike from 1 percent to 5 percent by Trek World 2017.

The Week in Review

Sunday - July 29th

94th Tour de France, July 7-29, 2007

Stage 20 - Sunday, July 29: Marcoussis - Paris Champs-Élysées, 146km
Alberto Contador crowned Tour de France champion

The Tour de France finished things up with Stage 20 and the classic ride on the Champs Elysees with Alberto 'Kid' Contador of Discovery Channel enjoyed the cloudy and damp Parisian day riding in the maillot jaune which he easily kept after ending the final time trial with 23 second edge (on Cadel Evans) and American Levi Leipheimer riding in 3 rd, pedaling toward the podium on the newly designed 2008 Trek Madone road bikes.

While all that was taking place in France, I was in Northern Kentucky (Burlington) at England-Idlewild for the KyMBA / Psycho Series mountain bike race. It has been my first race since before June and moving down to the Cincinnati area. So I have had to reset my season training and start back up mid-season and play catch up with everybody else who has been in top shape for months now. I raced in the Sport Category (19-34 yrs) and ended up 14th out of 28. Our distance was just over 15 miles in 1 hr and 33 min. It was an intense race with fast tight corners and quick switch-back climbs. And a nasty climb to the finish that left you legs thick with lactic acid and your heart rate in it's upper limits.

Tuesday - July 31st
I grabbed the Paragon and headed out to ride East Fork State Park, where the Psycho Series race was going to be at on Sunday- but has since been cancelled due to the Park being double booked with two events.

Distance : 16. 5 mi
Time : 01:37:42
Avg. : 10.1 mph
Mx. : 22.5 mph
Cdc Avg. : 73 rpm

Wednesday - August 1st
CORA group ride at Landen-Deerfield Park. A great single speed trail in the area, to bad the trail is only 2 miles. It was nice to get my Fisher Rig out and give the a spin for a change. The trail does have two really nice creek crossings that are sure to get the feet wet and short but 10% grade climb to finish things up.
Laps: 3
Distance : 5.13 mi
Time : 0:38:37

Mx. : 16.9 mph
