Momentum will be presenting an urban cycling fashion show at Interbike.
The "Urban Legend" Art + Fashion show, which is presented by Interbike and Momentum Magazine, will take place at 5pm on Thursday, September 25th in the Venetian Ballroom G of the Sands Convention Center.
This promises to be an interesting event as the fashion component of the show will focus mainly on urban and relaxed cycling clothing. Furthermore, as an urban themed art and fashion show, it is only fitting that the models will be riding bikes: urban bikes, townies, city bikes, commuters, basket bikes, beater bikes, grocery getters, cafe cruisers, etc.
And like any proper Interbike function, there will be beer and other assorted tasty, cold beverages available for consumption.

Vanity Fair: Lance Armstrong Rides Again
So the rumors are true.
From Vanity Fair: "Lance Armstrong Rides Again"
With respect to the rumors that he might run for Governor: “Down the road, something like that might be possible. Probably in 2014.”
His intentions: “I’m going back to professional cycling. I’m going to try and win an eighth Tour de France.”
With respect to his age [38]: “Ultimately, I’m the guy that gets up. I mean, I get up out of bed a little slow. I mean, I’m not going to lie. I mean, my back gets tired quicker than it used to and I get out of bed a little slower than I used to. But when I’m going, when I’m on the bike—I feel just as good as I did before.”
The revenge factor: “There’s this perception in cycling that this generation is now the cleanest generation we’ve had in decades, if not forever. And the generation that I raced with was the dirty generation. And, granted, I’ll be totally honest with you, the year that I won the Tour, many of the guys that got 2nd through 10th, a lot of them are gone. Out. Caught. Positive Tests. Suspended. Whatever.… And so I can understand why people look at that and go, Well, [they] were caught—and you weren’t? So there is a nice element here where I can come with really a completely comprehensive program and there will be no way to cheat.”

Deda Elementi Stem Recall
From Deda Elementi:
Deda Elementi and Bianchi Recalling 2008 High-Gloss Finish Deda Forza Handlebar Stems
As a result of four reports of cracking, none of which resulted in injuries, Deda Elementi, in
cooperation with FIV Edoardo Bianchi, have undertaken a Voluntary Recall of all Bianchi highend
bicycles with 2008 Deda Forza high-gloss finish carbon fiber handlebar stems, and will
replace the stems with Deda Zero 100 forged aluminum stems. The recall is being handled
through Bianchi dealers world-wide.
In addition, about 100 of these Forza stems were sold after-market, primarily in the U.S.A. These are being recalled and replaced through the retailers who sold them. Earlier production, matte-finished Deda Forza stems are not affected by this recall.
Do not ride a bicycle with a handlebar stem that is subject to this recall.
Instead:
If you are an individual who bought the stem either as part of a new bicycle or as an
upgrade for your bicycle, please return the stem to the retailer from whom you bought it. If you are a bicycle retailer and the stem is on a Bianchi bicycle, please get in touch with your Bianchi representative.
If you are a retailer who sold a Deda Forza high gloss finish stem after-market, please get in touch with the Deda distributor from whom you bought the stem.
