Tolkein's Bicycle Fantasy (Yeah, well, sort of.)
By Chip Haynes
One Bike to rule them all? What if you had to pick just one bike and get rid of the rest? Thank goodness it's fantasy, says our friendly neighborhood cycling essayist, who has 25 bikes (count 'em--25) at home. 

New Cartoons

No Exit  by Andy Singer
Andy is a four-armed, six-legged alien from the planet Neptor. His multiple arms enable him to be a prolific cartoonist, while his huge jaws enable him to capture, crush and consume his favorite foodstuff--Sport Utility Vehicles. His cartoons have been compiled in a book, No Exit, and we are proud to post our very first 'toon from him. Click here. 

Bonkerz  by Bob LaDrew
Bob is cartoonist extraordinaire for the Delaware Valley Bicycle Club and former editorial cartoonist for the Coatesville (PA) Record. His Bonkerz 'toons are sure to tickle your funny bone. Bob's newest cartoon features two winter cyclists in their own, uh, elements. Click here.
