Shop Local...



If you're ever in Amsterdam, I would reccomend you stop in at Kaptein Tweewielers. It is on the Overtoom and what impressed me about this shop the most was their product to floor space ratio. They had a solid collection of bikes— road, mountain, townie, touring, singlespeed/fixie, cyclocross, and a few time trial bikes as well. The majority of their stock bikes were Trek, Kona, Scott and Ridley with a few Santos, and Rocky Mountain too. They also had a great selection on clothing and parts as well. How many shops will have the SRAM XX full gruppo in stock as part of the window display?

We scored a set of Crank Brothers Smarty pedals for 30€ ($43 USD) and a pair of Wellgo flat/clipless combo pedals for E.

The Elite Women's race strung out quickly in the first lap. The first clip in this video is at the end of lap one. American Katie Compton is the fourth rider across the line and would end up in second place by the end of the day, 22 seconds behind reigning World Champion Marianne Vos of the Netherlands.
