Chris King’s Gourmet Century brings it all together

Chris King, the man who founded one of the world’s leading bike companies back in 1976, has always been a gourmet. I can recall, as an employee of Chris King Precision Components back in the late 1990s, prepping food for one of King’s “Trail Daze” events in Santa Barbara. On the menu for the mountain bike trail volunteers that day were roasted red pepper sandwiches. As King blackened the peppers in his personal, professional-grade range, myself and several other volunteers were tasked with peeling away the blackened parts and artfully laying the peppers onto artisan rolls as King peered over our shoulders doing quality control.

All the prep was done with an attention to detail and eye for quality that seemed over-the-top for some trailside grub. But to Chris King, food is deserving of the same respect and exacting treatment he gives his eponymous bicycle components.

Packed with bikes, Amtrak Cascades adds more hooks to its trains

Bikes on Amtrak

Now with more room.

Bikes have become a big part of train travel here in the Pacific Northwest, and train travel has become a big part of bike tourism. The latest sign: Amtrak Cascades just boosted its bike hauling capacity by 67 percent.

Every run on the state-subsidized regional train line that connects Eugene, Vancouver BC and various cities in between now offers 10 bike hooks per train, up from 6. Adding your bike to an Amtrak Cascades trip, an easy step during online checkout, costs $5 for each direction hauled.

The most popular city pair on Amtrak Cascades, between Portland and Seattle, is also one of the most crowded with bikes, Cascades Operations Supervisor Kirk Fredrickson said Wednesday. Seattle-Vancouver and Portland-Vancouver regularly fill up, too.

The Monday Roundup: Safer kids, Critical Mass, vibrating seats and more

SF Weekly cover story goes in-depth on Critical Mass.

Here’s the bike news that caught our eyes this week…

Cities are safest: “Want to keep your family safe? Then raise your kids in the city.” Rural areas are statistically more dangerous, and we’ll give you one guess as to the type of injury to blame.

History of jay walking: Before auto companies could successfully appropriate rural technology for urban transportation, we had to “socially reconstruct” the city street as a place where only country rubes (“jays”) would cross without looking both ways … and maybe get sued for it.

Vibrating bike seat: Hey, whatever gets more people in the saddle.
