Tour de France: Cycling pro Contador banned for two years. Good that this silly fuss (caused only by the Spanish cycling federation acting in a rather absurd manner) is finally over. Even if the revocation of Tour victories only elicits yawns these days (and Armstrong was unfortunately allowed to keep his wins).

'The Beast' Electric Bike: 50mph, $33,500. Ok, you can't really call this a bicycle anymore, it's more like an electric motorcycle-light or something. But still quite fascinating. Seems to be the week of Electro-Bikes or something: the eRockit is also a hybrid (and much cheaper than the Beast, but still very expensive)
