Hard to find cycle news that isn’t TDF related but here goes. The Moscow News writes about the difficulties of cycling in Moscow, whilst the NY Times reports on a new way to measure the power output of a bike. Meanwhile Paris has launched the worlds biggest city bike rental scheme making over 10,000 bikes available from 750 stations around the capital.
In Maine a new law is passed to protect cyclists whilst also tightening helmet laws – and strangely providing equal rights for cyclists at drive through windows!
Finally a few different papers seem to have picked up a story about bikes made from bamboo (also here). If you want to buy one check out the website here. Apparently bamboo is as strong as steel, flexible, and an ideal material for bike frames.
