Team Rally Cycling celebrates racing season opener in Calabasas
We talk with two of their riders who’ve moved out to SoCal for the season.
When we received the invite from Rally Cycling to attend their season opener, we jumped at the opportunity to head back up to the Santa Monica Mountains. The team spent a week in the area around Calabasas training for the upcoming racing season.

We sat down with Jesse Anthony and Tom Soladay, two of the riders permanently residing in SoCal to talk about life on the bike in Southern California. The morning group ride with the team took us from Pedalers Fork out along Mulholland Highway, a notable section of road in many events that we’ll be talking about in the near future. You can watch the Rally Cycling team at the Redlands Classic, April 6-10 in Redlands, CA.

Check out Episode 24 of the BICYCLIST.fm Podcast to listen to the interviews.

CicLAvia: Open Streets Event In Downtown Los Angeles

Los Angeles holds the honor of hosting the largest community open-streets event in the United States, and this past month’s 5th anniversary of the event was no different. CicLAvia, a play on the South American tradition of closing streets to cars and only allowing human-powered traffic, brought out bicycles of all shapes and stripes. We saw the standard two wheel, the trusty three wheel, and of course the rare instance of one wheel. No human-powered mode of transportation was denied access, and we saw many paws on the road too. CicLAvia is THE example of how this type of event can be run successfully in a metropolis.

The “Bad Ass Ale”, create specifically for the event, was generously served to all participants that completed the route.

The One Way Ride to Mexico

The One Way Ride Program officially began in 2012, but these men have been carrying on this tradition for over a decade. It all started after the 2001 Rosarito to Ensenada ride when local resident Raymond “Randy” Kiefer and his riding partner, Hank Williamson, generously gave away their bicycles to two local teenage boys who were hanging around the finish line watching the riders come in.
