After a long day back to work, I'm still down from the excitement of another great American Pro race weekend here in Greenville. It was great to see of 20-year-old Taylor Phinney towing LIVESTRONG U23 development team pull out the time trial victory on Saturday, but of the King of his 21-year-old teammate am victory in the road race on Sunday was even more exciting to witness ... truly one of the most impressive solo breakaway WINS I have ever seen.
Many Greenville locals were out in support of defending champion and resident pro George Hincapie, but Am King won over the crowd as he fought hard for the youngest winner in the 25-year history of the United States cycling Professional Road Race Championship.
Enough talk all about the race. in keeping with the theme of Saturday post, I want to share a few of my photos of the winning bike, King's SRAM Red-equipped Trek Madone.
I have a lot more pictures from the weekend to post, both of the racing action as of pro cycling of the different teams.Look for all of those on my Flickr page as I continue to sort through and get them uploaded.
Update:My race photos are now uploaded to Flickr. you can also see on my pictures of much more of the pros cycling in a separate photo set.

A long Friday link post
Boys Bikes
Well, it's Friday ... the end of a busy week. I'm pressed for time, but I want to quickly pass along a couple of links that I've noticed in the past week or so. So in the fashion of the Salvo, here goes.
I called jruiter + simplicity of the studios of Roadster in a recent post.Now they have a new version of the bike with large 36 "wheels. find out more at Inner City Bikes.
Mohsen Saleh has worked on a bicycle with a prostrate posture. Read more about his "Pro-straight" design on his blog and let him know what you think.
Paul Goodman changed my life is a documentary about the man who in 1961 with his brother, Percival, the essay Banning Cars of Manhattan in Dissent magazine published.The people behind the film are sponsoring a contest to get people to reduce global warming and improving the transportation options in their own communities to stimulate. winners in the u.s. and Europe will receive new bikes Breezer and Biomega, respectively. The contest is co-sponsored by the Alliance for cycling & hiking, the World Carfree Network, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine and Dissent Magazine.Find out more about the film and the contest on the website of Paul Goodman changed my life.
Treehugger recently posted 407 bicycle Solutions: the very versatile velocipede. it's a pretty thorough collection, organized by category, of some of their bicycle related posts from the past. Definitely worth a look.
This concept of the cardboard helmet student designed has spread around the Web as it was presented at the London Cycle Show a few days ago.I think that the clear acrylic shell rain from ruining the ridged cardboard structure might like, but I wonder if the cardboard sweat of the wearer's head would pit.
Speaking of Cycle Show, is the B.O.N. D (deterrent built of known resources) bike, which an ejector seat and flamethrower features, see there now. I'm pretty sure bicycle Pee-wee these functions, years ago, but this one step further with the Caterpillar track and front ski blade. Check out this Cyclelicious post for the real story on this bike, which actually made was to sell insurance.
Although not a bicycle, these very cool chandeliers by Carolina Fontoura Alzaga made from recycled bicycle parts.Via Treehugger.
T-shirts, notebooks, canvas prints, and ... bikes? the 2011 hot milk bicycle collection from Italy
Jeranimo Cycles is a small company based in Tenerife, Canary Islands.One of their most recent cycling, the Slütter is a drive Shimano Alfine model based on a unique titanium frame.The bike is designed as an "all in one" solution.According to the designer can select "this bike in the morning on the road, and in the evening the best attack on your favorite mountain gravel. Just change the wheels and handles and you're ready for a new adventure!"
The cock's brink all-terrain electric bike is definitely an interesting vehicle. see a video of it in action on green overdrive.
This copper-plated Brompton by Tom Dixon was recently featured at the London Design Festival.
Finally the new pedal assist e-bike that smart car unveiled at the Paris Auto Salon. the most interesting feature is the integrated iPhone/mobile phone dock. The paired phone can display for speed, distance, heart rate, etc..It also serves as the control centre for the motor and battery features.
Overall, it sounds pretty interesting ...Read more about it on Cyclelicious.
