How much do average mountain bikes weigh?

When comparing weights of the same type of bike, a mountain bike will weigh more than a road bike. This is because the frames are made out of heavier materials and have stiffer suspension systems with components that can add up to extra weight. The rider’s weight also plays a role in determining how much a mountain bike weighs: heavier riders will weigh more than lighter ones.

Another example for SheWon

Two trans-identified males dominated a women’s category at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships yesterday, leading many women’s rights advocates to condemn the tournament for allowing men to self-identify into the women’s divisions.

The Illinois State Cyclocross Championships was held at Montrose Beach on December 3, representing the final challenge in the eight-race Chicago CycloCross Cup. As with other events in the Cup, the event comprised of over one dozen different competitions for men, women, and junior athletes.

But two trans-identified males topped the podium in the Women’s Singlespeed category, taking home medals set aside for female racers. Tessa Johnson and Evelyn Williamson placed first and second, respectively, in the competition, leaving space for only one biological woman – Kristin Chalmers – on the podium.

Johnson also participated in the Women’s Category 1/2 race, placing third and winning $100 in prize money.

According to the Chicago CrossCup’s website, the competition prides itself on “first and foremost fostering a positive & supportive community built around competitive cyclocross racing,” continuing: “That means welcoming and challenging everyone who wants to contribute to the series and make it better in that regard.”

In its official FAQ on the topic of transgender cyclists, the Cup notes that “discrimination or harassment of any kind on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, national origin, or any other stupid idea someone comes up with to belittle another racer will not be tolerated at [our] events and may result in disqualification.”

On X (formerly Twitter), news of Johnson and Williamson’s victories was shared by user @i_heart_bikes, an anonymous female cyclist who frequently calls out males self-identifying as “women” in the sport. In response, many women’s rights advocates and sports enthusiasts condemned the competition for allowing the men to participate.

“Well done @usacycling you’ve proved you don’t care about women & you’re happy to put men in female categories. What a joke,” one user replied.

“Cycling has been my refuge since I was a little girl. This makes me sick to my stomach and full of rage,” another said in response to the news.

One woman’s rights advocate even went so far as to edit Johnson and Williamson out of the podium photo, placing female racer Kristin Chalmers onto the top spot.

This is not the first time that Johnson and Williamson dominated the podium at the  Chicago CycloCross Cup. In October, the two also took gold and silver in the Women’s Singlespeed, similarly leaving the only female on the podium with bronze. Johnson also took first place in the Women’s Category 1/2 race, earning him $150 in prize money.

Both Johnson and Williamson have been racing in women’s cycling for years, with Williamson collecting 18 first place titles in races across the country since 2017. 

In September, Reduxx reported that Johnson and Williamson competed as a team in two separate women’s races in Illinois, taking first place in both of them. During one of the competitions, Williamson and Johnson competed under the team name “TS-ESTRODOLLS,” a reference to cross-sex hormones.

Johnson and Williamson celebrated their initial first place win on August 27 after their victory at the xXx Racing-Athletic Relay Cross in Chicago. The two men surpassed nine pairs of women for first place.

Just days later on August 31, Johnson and Williamson beat out two teams of women at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome during the State Championship in Madison. 

Williamson is reportedly in a polyamorous relationship with Austin Killips, another trans-identified male cyclist who has become notorious for his frequent participation in women’s competitions. Killips has similarly taken several first place wins in women’s categories and has forced at least one woman out of the sport after targeting her with physical aggression during a race.

Last year, a bunch of people I like gathered to cheer on a bunch of other people that I like and it was an amazing day. Doesn’t hurt that @clarahonsinger walked away with a National Championship! I often wish I could go back to that day and watch all the races again from all the different spots with all of those great people who made the trek up to Ft. Steilacoom to race or cheer on our local folks. There just wasn’t enough time. It’s especially bittersweet as that was the last time I saw so many friends in the flesh. Ah, such is life in COVID times. Looking forward to getting muddy again with y’all. #obraracing #cxracing #usacyclingnationalchampionships #usacycling (at Fort Steilacoom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI193pQFuOP/?igshid=um6obd7cawqt

Gran Fondo National Series and USAC Team Up in 2020

The Gran Fondo National Series (GFNS), a longtime BikeFlights.com partner, was established in 2012 to challenge cyclists of various abilities to compete on some of North America’s best country roads. An exciting new element has been announced for the 2020 series: In partnership with USA Cycling, gran fondo competitors will have a chance to vie for a stars-and-stripes national championship jersey at the Gran Fondo Asheville on July 19.

“I’ve produced the Gran Fondo National Championship Series and Gran Fondo National Championship since 2012,” says series founder Reuben Kline. “I strive to improve and elevate events every year, and have been working on a qualifier system for the Gran Fondo National Championship for some time.”

The series, which consists of eight gran fondos from Florida to California, offers distances from about 30 miles to about 100 miles, including timed sections. This format is ideal for riders ranging from road-curious to highly competitive road racing veterans.

“To move cycling forward in the United States, events need to simultaneously meet the needs of competitors, non-competitive riders seeking new challenges, and cyclists seeking camaraderie, safety, and community,” says Kline. “No matter what you’re riding for, you can do it at a GFNS event.”

BikeFlights.com Support Team member Elliot Barring took on the Florida Gran Fondo in 2019, saying, "It was my first fondo style event and I had so much fun! I really enjoyed the competitive aspect of the timed sections combined with the laid back, conversational pace in-between. The support of the event was on-par with any other national or international level event I have been to and I look forward to adding another GNFS event or two to the calendar for 2020."

"I've been lucky enough to get to ride the Asheville and Boone rounds of the Gran Fondo National Series," says Sue George, BikeFlights.com's Vice President. "Both routes were on beautiful, winding, rural roads throughout the mountains of western North Carolina, and both events were impeccably organized. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good day out on the bike whether you'll be riding with your favorite riding buddies or looking to meet some new cycling friends."

The 2020 partnership with USA Cycling enhances the mission of the governing body to include a wider variety of cyclists in organized events.

“USA Cycling is excited to partner with the Gran Fondo National Series to further our commitment to make good rides great and great riders champions,” said Rob DeMartini, CEO of USA Cycling. “Adding the Gran Fondo National Championship to our calendar is an important step forward in USA Cycling’s new vision of supporting different entry points and opportunities for people to participate in the cycling lifestyle.”

With eight events spread across the country from April through September, there’s ample opportunity to choose a Gran Fondo National Series event in a location you’ve always wanted to ride at a time that’s convenient for you. Just pick one out from our Ride page and book your bike’s shipment straight to the event using our Shipping Guides. Maybe you’ll see one of us out there!
