Autumn Cycling | Barton Haynes

Happy autumn to all of my fellow cyclists out there! Today’s article inspiration comes from the change in the season. In many places in the Northern Hemisphere, fall colors are gracing the trees and making for a gorgeous cycling commute.

Though the yellows, oranges, and browns are vibrant, this means that the temperatures are dropping. This isn’t true for me here in San Diego, but for many cyclists who only enjoy warm-weather cycling, this time of year can be a literal roadblock for many who own bicycles. Unfortunately, the cooler temperatures mean that many are now returning to driving instead of cycling to work.

On this photograph-based blog, I’d like to share with you some inspiration to keep you on the road and out of your cars as the season changes to fall. Along with the photos will be motivational quotes that will hopefully inspire you all to keep cycling.

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Arthur Conan Doyle

Exercises for Cyclists | Barton Haynes

To piggyback on my latest post over at barthaynes.com (Bart the Bike Guy), I wanted to discuss a little bit about good exercises to do if you’re a cyclist.

My most recent post at Bart the Bike Guy is titled “Ask Bart Haynes: Common Cycling Injuries.” In the article, I mention that several problem and at-risk areas can be helped with proper exercises. Building up certain areas of your body will help protect you against bicycle-inspired afflictions and help you improve your cycling performance.

This post will provide you with resources to help you build cycling-friendly exercises into your workout routine. Thank you as always for following along!

Eddy Merckx | Barton Haynes

Greetings to my fellow cyclists! Today, I’m sharing some vintage photographs of one of the best cyclists to have graced the face of the planet. For those of you who don’t know about Eddie Merckx, here’s a brief description from biographyonline.net:

Eddy Merckx was a Belgian professional cyclists, who is widely regarded as the greatest cyclist of all time. In an illustrious career spanning both amateur and professional ranks, he won the Tour de France five times, Giro d’Italia five times, the Vuelta a Espana once – and all the major classics at least twice (finishing with 19 classic victories in total). He was world champion three times, broke the world hour record and dominated the sport like no one else has.

To honor this giant in the world of cycling, here are some images featuring some of his greatest achievements. Enjoy!

“Cyclists live with pain. If you can’t handle it, you will win nothing.” -Eddy Merckx

“Don’t buy upgrades. Ride upgrades.” -Eddy Merckx

Cycling in Style | Barton Haynes

Hello, fellow cyclists!

Last week, I was riding my usual stretch in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe in a new cycling jersey from Cycology. After wearing my new uniform, I started paying attention to what cyclists were wearing on the road. Many cyclists, I realized, pay a surprising amount of attention to what they’re wearing on the road. Their jerseys are fashionable, they match strategically, and they have an overall clean and finished look.

In honor of all of the stylist cyclists out there, today I bring you a post with photo inspiration all about cycling in style.
