I chose to self publish my book because I wanted total control over the printing process. It’s made from 100% recycled paper, uses bio based algae inks, and is shipped in upcycled newspaper mailers! No plastic allowed! Get it at or link in header

Attention drivers in Colorado! I’d like to remind everyone that we have a new law called THE SAFETY STOP which makes it legal for bicyclists to treat stop signs like yield signs, and stop lights as stop signs. Please stop honking at me when you see me roll by you 😂

It’s time for the Leadville 100 once again! Last year, I didn’t know Amelia at all (but she offered to pace, and I wasn’t about to turn down that offer). Little did we know that we’d both fall madly in love (months after the race). So grateful to be here again! @ameliaboone

My main goal at this year’s Leadville 100 was to have a strong finish (last year was a sufferfest). I managed to run the final 25 miles 1hr 40min faster than last year, and boy did it feel good! 22hrs49min finish time. Instead of a big buckle I’d like a big burrito, please!

I get flack from some viewers on my YouTube channel whenever I get somewhat “political.” I get comments like “stick to bikes” or “stay in your lane.” Well guess what? My lane is humanity and love. The bicycle has always been a tool to connect with people all over the world.

My first @bolderboulder was in 1985, I was 6 years old and had never run 6 miles in my life. I finished in the stadium alongside the Marines. Their rhythmic chants motivated me. That day sparked a love of running, and for this race. This year will be my 35th Bolder Boulder.

This is the worst idea ever, and I sure hope that this doesn’t spread to the U.S (and beyond). We need encourage cycling, not create barriers

91% of motorists back registration plates plan for cyclists

However, BBC presenter Jeremy Vine, a keen cyclist, pictured, appeared to take aim at the plans by posting a mock-up image of a bike with a number plate.
