I've long admired Lupine lights, but thought them a little large. No longer - this Piko looks excellent!

Unsightly chain? A tandem with it's covered in what looks like flexible electrical conduit. Not heard of belt drive?

Pinarello touting their TdF connections. Now, where have I seen that bike before? Hint: http://rainton.com/lCH

A little something I happened to 'pick up' on the Cervelo stand... & other stuff they just left lying around. Wow!

Kona had a Western Saloon as part of their stand. But we're on a mission so no time to hang with the cool kids today!

Skyver... hike up a trail carrying it, then roll down on this? Erm... no thanks!

Remember: Dogs die in hot cars! Hopefully they don't in a plastic clad cage fitted to one's handle bars!

There were lots of fancy bags for the relaxed, fashionable city lady or gent. Couriers need not apply.

Some people were obviously snagging show bargains. We picked up a couple of cheaper goodies & lots of freebies

Crazy rear shock on the Cannondale Jekyll. I'd be worried about sourcing a spare or servicing down the line.

Plenty of crossers here... and a few things pretending to be cyclo-cross bikes too.

In no particular order... just a whole load of pretty road stuff and bling!

Pratiwi with a few interesting fashion items. Not about the helmet, but the other pieces get a thumbs up.

Finally... a bike sized for Pratiwi?

A fashion show at a bike exhibition? More like an entertaining dance show. Have to admit... the guys had some moves!

'lunch' in Todtnau. Well, there was other stuff, but not so pretty. If only we could survive on beer & cake alone!

Passing by St Blasien. Cathedral here has loads of shiny marble under it's huge dome. Little village is pretty too.

Out riding today ran out of water twice & cramped up bottom of final climb: 7km/400m to home with no water & no power... Good times!

Hike to Feldberg (highest peak in the Black Forest) & Feldsee (little lake). Very nice, if a bit chilly to start.

Another café stop. Time to compare & contrast Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte As we walked a small treat for me too

When in the Black Forest... Wonderful lunch in Sankt Peter. Cake so unstable takes two to cut the last slice!

Dropped into the http://www.veloplus.ch/ store in Basel today. Fantastic! Why hasn't Sydney, with 25 times the population, got anything close?

@miketomalaris many TDF champs who came before Lance were probably not substance free, so why stop with him? Get them all? #bloodystupid

These guys must be stalking us, pretty much exactly what we did yesterday, right down to trail walked & restaurant! http://touch.chicagotribune.com/...
