Our new Interbike gallery is online now (courtesy of our good pals at Singletrack). Marvel at how Independent Fabrications can make carbon look like wood (check the carbon/flex world bike from Schwinn for more fake wood action), be even more marvellous if it actually was wood… if not very rideable. For a fat-tyred view of the Interbike action head over to Singletrack. 
Check Look’s new ultra-lightweight Zed crankset, just 360g and claimed to have a stiffness to weight ratio that’s double that of Shimano’s Dura Ace. Their new 596 TT bike is a bit of a looker (didn’t mean that honest) too. 
If you like ‘cross bikes we’ve got plenty including: a the new Ibis carbon ‘crosser – with just the cutest little Handjob cable holder; a Speedvagen with a cool Evel Knieval paint job, that Independent Fabrication Ti/Carbon beaut, and a very pretty number from Raleigh USA. 
There’s also Bradley Wiggins’ Dolan track bike in World Champ colours – at first we got our wires crossed and thought Bradley himself was in Vegas too (which doesn’t sound awfully wise). He wasn’t, so of course no-one had seen him. Still, follow our reasoning: party animal + Vegas – minus sighting in show hall = yeah, he was probably there. But he wasn’t. More Interbike pics here 
Oh, and we’ve got more pics of the Cervelo P4 behind what Chipps reckons was the most reflective bit of perspex in the world. They only deal in superlatives at Cervelo. That integrated bottle on the P4 looks nifty, but is it dishwasher safe? Wouldn’t like to think of the world’s top testers and Ironmen all going down with food poisoning in a few months time… 
More Interbike craziness (plus some touches of beauty too)

@mdavidford Well there's evidence of it not being a link. Visma were riding hard to set up Vinny for an attack and the riders interviewed after the stage all said Jonas was on a good day and ready to go for it.
@jackcycles I don't see any evidence in your comment that you're not a paid lobbyist posting anti-e-bike comments on behalf of the motor and oil industries. As far as the bike in the article goes, though, there is pretty strong evidence that it was road legal, in that it was hired from a reputable scheme.
Or just buy direct from Waltly & save a few quid!!
We regularly hear of a traffic police officer giving confident opinions in court cases regarding such things as 'speed at the time of collision', and their opinions seem to be taken seriously. We also know of a police officer's opinion, when being told by a dying man that he has been stabbed, saying 'I don't think you have, mate'. Why are people still surprised that stupid, ill-educated but very self-confident police officers are as thick as two short planks, as well as being criminal (think Couzens, Carrick and many of the officers at Charing Cross Police Station) and/ or as bent as a £9 note- this method of assessing whether a bike is a legal EAPC is so stupid as to beyond belief, unless you have personal experience of the UK police, that is. Many of them really are malevolent, cyclist-hostile thick, out-of-control b******s
@Rendel Harris my "lived experience" is of delivery drivers riding around on illegal modified motorbikes. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen anyone riding around with a silly blue delivery bag riding a road-legal bike, let alone having insurance. I don't see any evidence in the article to support the idea that the seized bike was unmodified and road legal. These e-motorbikes are a menace to the road. Just yesterday I went to my local bike shop and the poor owner nearly killed himself when some fat bloke riding what can only be described as a motorbike drove to the door asking for help with his brakes. Bike shop owner went to have a look and inadvertently turned a throttle, causing the machine to roar into life and drag him along the pavement in an undignified manner.
There wouldn't have been a peloton in that era (aside from Christophe Bassons) if they had instigated night-time testing.
The article states that: "The term E-bike refers to an electrically assisted pedal cycle (EAPC)" YES & NO. It can refer to any electrically powered cycle or motorbike. That would include EAPCs. An "E-bike" is not a legally defined thing.
It occurred to me that this could be fitted to an older rim brake bike as well but it would involve for example building a new rear wheel with a disc hub and rim brake rim.
@Paul J Please show me any reliable evidence. EPO tests already detect levels far below the minimum effective dose. With the recent state of the art, microdosing simply does not make any sense.
@tomlew microdosing EPO most definitely does "work" in terms of stimulating RBC production.
