Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

Want to Understand a Pro Bike Race?

Go to Cyclocosm.  The proprietor, Cosmo, has started a series of short (< 5 minute) video recaps that illustrate and analyze what happened in a given race.   He does such a great job that I don’t think you really need to know much more than the basics (i.e., cycling is a team sport, a team usually has a leader that it supports in order to ensure he crosses the line first, and it’s always easier to move faster in a group than when you’re alone.).  Here’s the video Cosmo put together for yesterday’s Paris-Roubaix race:
