Love that this is on Hacker News! INRNG has some of the best commentary about professional cycling online, as well as book reviews and travel pieces around famous climbs and races. If you are a fan of professional cycling, it’s a must-read.

I’m building a non profit cycling website, perhaps you are interested: https://cyclohub.cc
It is still in the early stages. i want to gather news from across all channels and make a place for cycling fans, without all the ads.
I like the concept of pooling news together with the rankings. Everything is in dutch so I cannot comment on the content, but I think it is a good idea.
However, what I think is missing in online cycling is something better than pcs for live races. At the moment, there is no central place when you can follow all races (not only WT) understanding what is currently happening. At most you get a feeling of the groups there are and the distances, but even that is many times not accurate (e.g. in PCS they say "peloton" when it is a group of 30 people).
Of course, doing this is not easy and time consuming...

the daily digests on the "HUBS" section are already in English, and you can sign-up for automatic message (per e-mail or push notification). I'm considering translating all news headlines into English using AI. working on that.
And yes, proper live races would be great with content from people along side the road as well. Currently i think sporza.be is best in this (live race report), but it is all in Dutch.
Thank you for your feedback!

hey I am building this! check it out and let me know what you think. Still in the early days and lots to improve on, but we are trying to improve the experience for cycling fans!
We’ve interacted on r/peloton before - your father is a giant and I am glad the biography is out. :)

I'm going to Japan in a few weeks and was contemplating visiting this. I'm an avid cyclist and bicycle activist. However, not a big gearhead. What kinds of cyclists is it aimed for? Is it worth a detour?

The article literally says what's in the museum. What more do you want to know lol.

Sorry for an unprompted response, but if you’re enjoying cycling and willing to do detours, I’d suggest to check out cycling routes themselves. There are some amazing designated roads that are insanely nice and fun to ride when the weather is around 15-25c.

I hope there's an exhibit on the first generation ten-speed dura ace group set, which was a legitimate jump ahead in capability and precision when it was introduced in 2004. Everything since then has been refining some of the same.
