The Site of the Day: Casey Gibson, Photographer
Hey, we're not above promoting our own friends and one of our favorites has to be our old buddy Casey Gibson, a photographer who probably spends more time on the road than most pro riders. It's always a pleasure to hook up with Casey at races, both here in the U.S. and an increasing number of international events as well. Sure, he's a grumpy old coot, but then again, so are we. Go ahead, click on Casey B. Gibson Photography, look around for a bit and you'll see why he's been a fixture at VN for as long as any of us can remember.

Legally Speaking – with Bob Mionske: Riders’ responsibilities
Dear Readers,
A few weeks back, we had a letter from E.W. concerning a group ride that consistently gets caught in the intersection on a short-cycle traffic light (See "One single (group) ride or a collection of individuals?" ). The letters poured in, and they keep on coming, so this week, we’re going to run some more reader responses on the subject of group rides and red lights.
Bob

Behind the wheel again – Pettyjohn looks ahead to ’08
It’s been nearly 14 years since Len Pettyjohn sat behind the wheel of a car loaded with bikes, orchestrating the strategy of a team of cyclists over a radio and, frankly, he hasn't really missed it all that much. After a long break – and perhaps against his better judgment – Pettyjohn is poised to jump behind the wheel of a Toyota-United team car and spend about 40 percent of the coming year on the road again.
