The city is perverting the intent of Sammy's Law, a law named after 12 yr old Sammy Cohen Eckstein who was tragically killed by a driver just outside of Prospect Park, wrote the New York Cycle Club's lawyer Peter Beadle in the complaint. Sammy's Law, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2024, authorized the city Department of Transportation to reduce speed limits to 20 mph across the city or to 15 mph in certain areas like school zones.
The accident occurred at 6 p.m. Saturday by the intersection of Pershing Drive and Manchester Avenue where a white Toyota Camry struck the woman and her 3-year-old child, who was a passenger on her bike, according to Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Charles Miller. The mother and 3-year-old were taken to a hospital. Miller said the child was reported to be in stable condition but the mother had died. He said the driver, an elderly man, remained at the scene.

Last Updated: January 4, 2026 Older cyclists often assume burning feet are "just part of aging," but the real cause is usually nerve irritation from sustained pressure - not temperature and not age. Heat can make it worse, but even in cool or cold weather, hours of pressure on the same spots of your feet can inflame nerves and restrict circulation - creating that fire-on-the-soles feeling.

Since coming to England from Ethiopia eight years ago, I've lost parts of my cultural identity. I was stuck in a monotonous, isolated routine studying for a biochemistry degree at Imperial College London, without the family-centred lifestyle I was used to. Back in Ethiopia, I'd be surrounded by my aunt, grandparents, friends. So this year, I took 12 months out and moved to my uncle's house in Leeds. The change helped me try new things, like cycling:
When I'm not writing about gear or racing, I'm out training or riding with my friends and athletes. I coach for Cycle-Smart, where I work with amateurs, professionals, and everyone in between to find their best cycling selves. Cycling is my life, and my work, and I'm very grateful for it. Besides cycling, my other passions are music and playing the drums.
I didn't set out to be poetic. I set out to ride. But somewhere between mile 30 and mile 70, between sunrise and sunset, I started hearing the road differently. Not just as terrain, but as verse. The hum of my tires was meter. The climbs and descents, line breaks. The miles, stanzas. Sometimes the words come on the ride itself. Sometimes they come when I'm lying in my tent or sipping juice the next morning. But they always come. Because long rides strip the noise away. What's left is what matters.
Somewhere between the third scoop of mashed potatoes and the questionable decision to "just try a tiny slice of every pie," a dangerous thought hits every rider: "It's fine. I'll ride it off tomorrow." A typical Thanksgiving plate-with a gravy lake, a two-story stuffing tower, and the dessert that you swore you didn't have room for-comes out to roughly 4,500 calories ... and that's before you make your way to the fridge for a late-night snack like a raccoon in sweatpants.
San Jose Bike Party is a place to ride bikes, make friends, and have a good time every third Friday of each month at 8 pm. San Jose is the largest city in Northern California, but they are hidden in the suburban sprawl. It's time to enjoy the South Bay, ride the streets, and make this place the active and exciting city you want it to be.
[The list] was originally set up to celebrate women who inspire, encourage and empower people to experience the joy of cycling. By excluding trans and non-binary people, it's not doing what I think it was set up to do. It excludes people [who] have helped create the community that I was nominated for.
I know that feeling. I spent more than a year preparing for a San Diego-to-Las Cruces tour-over 6,000 miles of training rides. Thirty-four miles into day one, a rag blew off the road and straight into my rear derailleur. In seconds it snapped the mech, twisted the chain, and broke multiple spokes. The bike was done-unrideable. I stood on the shoulder staring at a dream that just evaporated because of a gust of wind.
People ask me sometimes, "What do you think about out there?"-usually with a curious look, as if pedaling for hours must feel like watching paint dry. But it's not like that at all. The longer the ride, the more my mind opens up. The road doesn't bore me-it speaks to me. It quiets the noise of everyday life and lets the thoughts that matter most rise to the surface.
Cycling in Windy Conditions: What Years of Riding Taught Me Today's ride was twenty-five miles-my next-to-last before heading to Albuquerque for the Day of the Tread. The weather couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Somewhere between cool and warm, with that strange, swirling kind of Lubbock wind that refuses to pick a direction. North? South? No-just everywhere at once.
For the men, this is a key hit-out in the week leading up to Saturday's all-important Il Lombardia, the final Monument Classic of the 2025 season. Tadej Pogačar, who won this race in 2022, is back for his second appearance since retaining the world champion's rainbow jersey - the first being his stunning solo victory at the European Championships on Sunday. Tom Pidcock and Ben Healy are among the challengers, while the women's field is headlined by the new European champion Demi Vollering.
When I throw a leg over my bicycle, I'm stepping out of a world that never stops shouting. Turn on the TV and the talking heads are screaming. Scroll social media and the divide is even louder. Everyone seems determined to slot people into neat little boxes: Christians on the far right, celebrities on the far left, blue-collar workers here, academics there. It feels like the whole country is playing a bad game of "pick your tribe."
Canada's Magdeleine Vallieres took a surprise gold in the women's road race at the Road World Championships after a decisive attack on the final climb on Saturday in Kigali. Vallieres was in a lead group with New Zealand's Niamh Fisher-Black and Spain's Mavi Garcia near the end of the 164km slog on a hilly circuit in the Rwandan capital when she burst clear.

I turned a corner and spotted a man in his front yard, garden hose in hand as he washed his car. He saw me coming, grinned, and without a word turned that hose on me as I rolled by. What a rush of refreshment. Cold water, right when I needed it most. My spirits lifted instantly, and suddenly the last few miles didn't feel impossible anymore.
