About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped him tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, resulting in the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking and better fitting than traditional designs yet still met the industry’s toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world: young bloods and old-timers; hardcores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too–in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet. Giro is based in Scotts Valley, California.

The Long Season: One Year of Bicycle Road Racing in California

Monday, October 26th, 2009

This beautifully written memoir is sure to appeal to all cyclists. It contains some of the best writing on competitive cycling-from the cyclist’s viewpoint-ever published.

Bruno Schull enters the California amateur racing circuit, and in the course of one long season climbs the rankings to near the top. Along the way he falls in love, and watches a friend die in a terrible cycling accident. Like the film Breaking Away, this is the story of an unknown cyclist striving for greatness. Bruno Schull’s story covers his progress through a dozen local races, paralleled by his intense fixation on the Tour de France on TV. He captures the spirit of cycling at its highest levels, and the more peculiar, unsung glories of amateur racing. Funny, smart, inspiring, elegant-and full of great cycling.
