Man, this sucks. Last Friday a motorist plowed through a group of Critical Mass cyclists in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The motorist accelerated his vehicle directly through the group of riders, injuring about 20 riders and sending eight victims to the hospital ER with at least one victim still remaining hospitalised in serious condition.

‘It’s as if you are breathing out hot splinters of glass,’ says former racing cyclist Peter Winnen about cycling in Senegal. For five years, Dutch photographer Chris Keulen photographed the African bike-racing routes in Senegal, Cameroon, Eritrea and twice in Burkina Faso. For his photo feature taken in Burkina Faso he received the World Press Photo Award.

This picture has quite a funny backstory.

“Colin and I busted ass the other day riding all over south side San Jose. Our ride lead us along the coyote Creek trail to Hellyer Velodrome. When we rolled up to the Velo we received nothing but mean mugs, and confused glances from all of the track guys. After about a minute of awkward silence we came to the conclusion that they were scared of our bikes, and didn’t want anything to do with us. So we decided to go ride the parking lot dumpster instead.”
