• Where Is Your Bike Made?
  February 27th, 2010
  

  Written by: Lanolin (Ritte Racing)
  Snobs.
  Back when aluminum and carbon fiber started arriving in bike shops there was a distinct “steel is real” backlash. People described aluminum as “harsh” and “dead” and carbon as just plain “dead.” Frankly, they were right. Cruising around on a well-made steel bike feels wonderful. But when it came to racing [...]

• Ritte’s Very Own Spencer Canon Weighs In On Landis
  February 16th, 2010
  

  We the news of the arrest warrant for Floyd Landis news station KTLA 5 (Los Angeles) knew were to come to get the most respected opinion on the subject. That is right, they came to Ritte Van Vlaaderen founder Spencer Canon. Not only was he captivating in his interview, but probably as handsome a [...]

• This One’s For The Dopers
  February 6th, 2010
  

  Written by: Lanolin
  A few Summers ago I belonged to the email group of a large club. Every July there was a hard and fast rule: no TDF spoilers. … a perfectly reasonable rule. During major races, I avoid all cycling news sources all day so I can watch the action unfold on TiVo. After [...]

• Bosberg Banning Sparks Debate
  December 18th, 2009
  

  We still haven’t heard any official word from the UCI yet regarding the Bosberg “being too good looking” for professional competition. But it seems their unusual move to set a limit not only on how little a bike can weigh, but on how awesome looking it can be has sparked debate among cycling giants and [...]

• Bosberg Banning Sparks Debate
  December 18th, 2009
  

  If you didn’t see the press conference earlier, view it here first. Very upsetting news from the UCI regarding the Bosberg being “aesthetic doping.”

• UCI Bans the Bosberg
  December 16th, 2009
  

  Submitted by: Ritte Racing
  Well this is pretty upsetting. In an unprecedented move, the UCI bans the Bosberg from competition based on the way it looks. They could have discussed their issues with us directly, but instead they just let us hear the lame news through the grapevine. Frankly this isn’t surprising given their unreasonable stance [...]

  So here is another Ritte movie, you know. Sit back, apply some chamois cream, strap on your helmet, and enjoy.

• Ritte Athlete Interview: Aaron Van Wise
  October 24th, 2009
  

  Aaron Wise is another one of Ritte’s star mountain goats. The longer and nastier the climb, the more he seems to get off on it… it’s creepy really. On the surface, Aaron’s a gentile, unassuming fellow, but show him a little wheel on a recovery ride and you’ll have an all-out race on your hands. [...]

• Interbike Day One: Outdoor Demo
  September 22nd, 2009
  

  Hell yes, I made it to Interbike. I get to go to the world’s biggest bike shop and wander around for days… literally days. Frankly the prospect of looking at bike shit until i’m sick is awesome. As far as I’m concerned, Interbike might as well be AdultCon. So bring on the bike titties.

  There’s just [...]

  In 1919, a talented young bike racer from Flanders named Henri “Ritte” Van Lerberghe showed up bikeless to the starting line of the Tour of Flanders. The First World War had just ended, and ready for battle of a different kind, Ritte traveled to the race straight from the frontlines. Within minutes of the start, [...]
