When it comes to biking, sometimes the long way is the best way.

A ski resort in the Swiss Alps just sold for 90 cents.Global warming? What global warming?Effectively giving the ski operation away was an act of desperation on the part of Ernen, which, like hundreds of other small Alpine ski stations at medium altitudes, faces dire times.Because . . . they hate freedom? I'm gonna go with freedom-hating. It's a Swiss resort, so they're probably "neutral" on

What a silly question. Of course it involves doping.ROME - Tour de France champion Alberto Contador could be barred from defending his title and Alejandro Valverde might also be banned from the year’s top cycling races if the Italian Olympic Committee has its way.The Italians have some extra leverage because next year's Tour de France will include a small stretch of Italian roads. And Italy's

I like bicycles, and I like smart people. So I'm loving this new invention, courtesy of the "Innovate or Die" campaign.It addresses a huge problem in developing countries: access to safe drinking water. It relies solely on pedal power. And it combines the task of transporting water with the chore of purifying it.Okay, I guess it's technically a tricycle. But still, it's a great idea that

. . . the Web gets another funny video.Safety fans, I give you "Small Child on a Rocket Skateboard." I'm not sure, but it looks like dad is running the show.I'm sure in dad's mind, he's being EXTRA safe, because the kid's wearing a helmet. Fortunately, the kid also has the good sense to keep stepping off the board, in case the rocket actually works. He must get it from his mother.

There are a lot of good posts today about the legacy of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first climber to summit Mt. Everest. Hillary died this morning in New Zealand.The Adventure Blog, in particular, has a nice write-up:Sir Ed's passing also marks the passing of another era. Hillary climbed Everest at a time when mountaineers were seen as heroes doing great things for their countries. They made front

There's gonna be a semi-pro hockey game at Yosemite National Park next week. And some people are freaking out.Is this an attempt to compete with Disneyland?I'm gonna go ahead and make this call myself: no. No, it is not.

Aw, geez -- I don't think I'll EVER understand violent Islamic fundamentalists. I thought they hated freedom. But it turns out they hate auto racing.

I like Lance Armstrong, but some of his fans can be a little . . . intense. So it's good to see that Lance actually has a sense of humor:Kinda reminds me of when Peyton Manning started making ads. I had no idea he could be funny. Then he was pretty funny. And now he's on so many ads, it's just not funny anymore.(Clip via The Adventure Blog.)

This guy went skiing out-of-bounds with his son, and things got a bit sticky. He called 911, and the cavalry came to the rescue.Now the cavalry has sent him a bill.Mountain spokesman Chris Dagenais said it's the first time a skier or snowboarder at any of the North Shore's three ski operations has been billed for a rescue."We are hoping to set a precedent here," Dagenais said.Ouch."The invoice we

Tanner Hall is one tough mofo. He takes on this Utah ski jump backwards. It's a 130-foot gap, and he jumps about 128 of 'em.For a guy who broke both of his ankles, he seems pretty matter-of-fact about it.

A U.S. senator from Idaho -- not the men's restroom partyhound, the other one -- wants to lift the ban on concealed weapons in our National Parks. Right now you're not allowed to bring guns into the Parks at all, which has been rough on certain Americans, like Yosemite Sam:As you can imagine, this topic has generated a healthy debate online -- and by "healthy," I mean "wild-eyed apocalyptic den

I think Shaun White's recent brush with the law is kinda cute. In a world where pro athletes get arrested for shooting up strip clubs and/or strangling dogs, a snowboarder getting busted for horseplay is a disarmingly retro incident. Even . . . soothing.Shaun must've known he was doomed, because how are you gonna say, "Officer, you must have me confused with someone else" when you look like this?

I'm not exactly an expert fisherman, but I don't think this is how fish stories are supposed to work:Ranger Dave Rapp noticed the brag on a popular Internet discussion board used by anglers who visit the national seashore.

Taos Ski Valley has dropped its ban on snowboarders. Hell officially freezes over on March 19, 2008.When I was growing up in New Mexico, I saw plenty of "TAOS SUCKS" stickers in the liftlines. Snowboarders love to play the sulky victim, but it looks like they're gonna have to find somewhere else to whine about.I wonder how this affects Burton's $5,000 "Poaching Video" contest.
