Ruby Washington/The New York Times

NO GREASE IN SIGHT At Signature Cycles in Manhattan, above, Grant Salter, a bike fitter, at right in photo, assists Michael Mann. Clients can sip espresso as they shop.

a couple of quotes:
"You have these corporate guys now.

I like to say that bicycling is the new golf.

"
"... and the most expensive, $23,000 (a carbon time-trial bike sold at Signature Cycles that comes with handmade German wheels at $5,500 a set)."
"Our clients are Wall Street guys, and they don’t want to go back to the office after a visit here and close a $5 million deal all sweaty and smelly."

2. CNN Money ： Silicon Valley's cult ride

Spinmeister: Steelman, near his Redwood City, Calif., workshop, makes only about 50 bikes a year.

Hot rod: Steelman welds a bike in his Redwood City workshop.

a quote: Steelman is somewhat of a cult hero to clients like Kohlberg Kravitz Roberts co-founder George Roberts, Trinity Ventures partner Noel Fenton, and Accel Partners VC and Facebook board member Jim Breyer, who raves that the bikes are "perfectly proportioned."

3. 2009 Ride With Lance raises more than $1.5M towards cancer care, research 每年7届环法自行车赛冠军 Lance Armstrong 都会来多伦多地区搞一次为癌症研究捐款的慈善骑行活动，benefiting Sunnybrook Odette & Grand River 地区癌症中心。RIM 的头，billionaire Jim Balsillie 是每年都去报到的。ticket price ： $20,000 each rider (limited to 60 riders only)

你这玩艺咋普及啊？过了50还是得加入我的golf club。 -pipibug(我真的是个歌剧爱好者); 2010-2-9 (#5872941@0)

哈哈哈。。。老当益壮！我骑车的朋友里，年过半百的有一大把，好几个比我骑得还猛。就这大冷天的还每天骑30KM去downtown上班，下了班还得再起30KM回家。一60岁左右的老头，说我是girly-man，因为我一入冬就开始冬眠了。惭愧呀！ -iron(iron man); 2010-2-9 (#5872986@0)

估计, 北美20%的人口锻炼的程度和剩下80%的人锻炼份额相当 -buma(。。。。); 2010-2-9 (#5873424@0)

Armstrong非常人也，据说他的心脏比常人大很多，肺活量也惊人，他不训练都比正常人top level强。 -walkthrough(inspire); 2010-2-9 (#5873411@0)
