Throwing Down

 httpv://youtu.be/tOjKfqeiQvo

We’ve all been there.  A mechanical problem on a bike can ruin and ride and you just want to throw it. When you’re a pro – as in professional cyclist – you should know to contain yourself, but then again if you’re a pro you’re not paying for your bike! Marcel Kittel (above), who suffered a crash in this week’s Tirreno-Adriatico, might have the best thrown down yet! More throwdowns after the jump

Shimano Feeling Blue

Shimano-BlueWhile every rider in the Tour de France may want to be in yellow, the Shimano limited edition R320 cycling shoe may have some feeling the need to be in blue. In fact, a group of selected Tour de France riders, including Edvald Boasson Hagen, Simon Gerrans and Marcel Kittel have been spinning through France in these special blue shoes. These offer the same features and technologies as the high end racing shoe R320, including Custom-Fit and Dynalast but has a special blue design.

These limited edition shoes are not only made for professional riders, but are also available for consumers. Shimano produced a limited number of shoes which are exclusively available in United States, Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, Slovakia, Poland and Israel. Race to the shop to pick up a pair.
