Cycling videos brought to you by the bike lane, a selection of road racing, mountain biking, stunts and training videos from around the cycling world
On a windy day in Southern Utah, twenty five daring mountain bikers blew the doors off what is possible on two wheels, unleashing some of the biggest moments the sport has ever seen. While mother nature only allowed for one full run before the conditions made it impossible to ride, that was all that was needed for event veteran Kyle Strait, who won the event for the second time — eight years after his first Red Bull Rampage title.
Omega-Pharma Quick-Step rider Niki Terpstra won the biggest race of his career, the 2014 Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, April 13th. He won Paris-Roubaix solo after a fantastic race, including a great effort by team mate Tom Boonen earlier in the race. Watch this video as we take you through all the emotions of that amazing day!
In a rare camera appearance since admitting to doping Oprah last year Lance has appeared in a video by Outside magazine instructing viewers how to change a flat tyre. Wearing a classic Coors bike hat Lance changes a flat tyre on an old Peugeot down tube shifter bike (not a PX-10).
In what is a bizarrely straightforward but tongue in cheek video Lance changes a tyre exactly how it should be done, even down to the not cool valve cap.
See this little black thing …. don’t put that back on – Lance Armstrong
In what is an obvious publicity coup by Outside magazine based on twitter chat it makes you wonder how they got Lance to agree to doing the video. “It was really quite simple,” said Outside editor Christopher Keyes. “We asked, he said yes — much to our surprise.” (via USA Today)

As part of the build up to this weekends Paris-Roubaix The Bike Lane brings you the iconic Danish documentary A Sunday in Hell (original title: En Forårsdag i Helvede). The documentary is a cronology of the Paris-Roubaix held on April 11, 1976 from the perspective of the riders, event staff and spectators. With an army of photographers, Jorgen Leth followed the riders and race and edited the footage into this spectacular documentary.
Paris-Roubaix is one of the most grueling and famous races in the world of pro-cycling, held on roads, rough terrain and cobblestones. First held in 1896 it’s a race for the hard men and winners include a who’s who of cycling. Roger De Vlaeminck and Tom Boonen, both from Belgium have the most number of wins at four each, Eddy Mercckx won three times, Francesco won four times in a row from 1978 through 1980, other winners include the likes of Sean Kelly, Johan Museeuw, Tour de France hero Bernard Hinault and of course Fabian Cancellara.
I can’t wait for Sunday, In the meantime enjoy this legendary Paris-Roubaix footage.
Can’t wait for tonights 2014 Tour of Flanders? Here’s a video to get you by until the race starts.
It’s filmed on the Paterberg, used twice in this year’s Tour of Flanders including the final cobbled climb at 246km into the race with only 13km to go. It’s in French and Dutch but I’m sure even if you can’t translate it will get you in the mood.
The Belgians love a party, and what better than a party while watching the biggest bike race there is.
Grammont, Koppenberg, Vieux Quaremont… Le Tour des Flandres a construit sa légende sur de mythiques monts pavés. Parmi eux, le Paterberg, emprunté cette année à 3 reprises, où La Bordure a passé son dimanche 1er avril. Plongée au coeur d’un « Ronde » plus vrai que nature
Translated – Grammont, Koppenberg, Old Quaremont … Tour of Flanders has built its legend on mythical bergs and pave. Among them, the Paterberg, taken 3 times this year, where The Edge spent his Sunday 1st April. Plunge into the heart of a “Ronde” larger than life.
The film is by French pair Nico Loth and Fred Adam.
Just months after suffering a severe spinal injury, Martyn Ashton has backed up the original Road Bike Party on YouTube video with the new Road Bike Party 2. Martin Ashton descends an amusement park slide, climbs trees and rocks all while riding the superb Colnago C59 Disc.
The video also features Danny Macaskill and Chris Akrigg who helped out finishing the project when Martyn injured himself during a trials exhibition at Silverstone. Following the success of the first film, Ashton had secretly been working on the sequel, however his accident at Silverstone cast doubt on whether it would be finished. “It’s very different to what I planned but I’m really starting to love it and care for it,” Martyn says of the finished film.
It’s a brilliant collection – you can lose the fact that we’re on a road bike as it just looks like a great piece of riding. The first Road Bike Party was all about it being a road bike but this one, the road bike doesn’t get a chance – the stuff that we do collectively is beyond what would be ‘normal’ for a trials bike. It’s exceptional.
The video is brought courtesy of Global Cycling Network. Enjoy.
The Colnago C59 Disc featured in Road Bike Party 2 features a frame similar to that raced by Thomas Voeckler in the Tour de France.
