The Circle City Bicycles blog contains info on bicycles, cycling events, pro racing, bicycle touring, and just about anything else cycling related. Since our bike shop is located in Indianapolis, we focus on biking in the Midwest, but cycling fans anywhere in the world should find this blog interesting. We try to post daily Monday through Friday, but we occasionally miss a day. Each Friday we try to have an interesting bicycle related photo.
This week's video features the 5 best saves in professional cycling. Sometimes it isn't a charge up a major climb that is the most critical move in a race, but a split second reaction to avoid a major crash. This video features:
Sagan and Cancellara avoiding a crash. Watch how Cancellara throws his back wheel to the side.
In track cycling, Laurine Van Riessen rides on the wall of the velodrome to avoid crashing.
Sagan and Cancellara again - This time Cancellara goes down and Sagan bunny hops over him.
Sam Bennet makes a great save while weaving his way through the support cars.
Danny Van Popell narrowly avoids disaster at the end of a race. They show video from a couple different angles and it doesn't look that impressive, until they show a still photo.
