No indication other than “looks like spycraft” in this photo, but do think spies could move through a city plying their trade all stealthy like on bikes.

Update

The Associated Press reported over the weekend on MI5 papers that show Britain feared Nazi spyclists.

Newly declassified British intelligence files reveal the ripples of alarm that spread through the country as Hitler Youth cyclists toured Britain in 1937. Reports of sightings poured in from local police amid fears the teenagers might be two-wheeled “spyclists” scouting the country for a future invasion.

That reads like a movie script.

In a year filled with some great Bike Hugger trips and stories, a few photos stand out to me as favorites. One is this unassuming photo of Specialized’s Amber, sitting astride her Globe. When I say her Globe I mean that quite literally, she designed every single weld, angle and custom part on every Globe bike. Here she’s clearly in love with her bike, which is the whole point, isn’t it?

From racing, this is one of my favorite shots of the year. By far it’s not the most technical shot of the year, but it really captures for me what ‘Cross is all about, the mix of seriousness and mockery that’s the heart of the sport.

If you’d like to see more of the BH photos, you can check out our flickr stream, or take a look at my collections of cycling shots.

Click through, view the largest size, and see that the hub is still connected to the fork. I switched carbon bars after one got doored and I saw how thin the material was and how it catastrophically failed. It was just a few mils thick.
