Best of April Fools Cycling Industry Roundup

5. Velo Orange

“A Bike for #GuacOutside?! We've done a lot of duty-specific builds over the years: Piolet for the CDT, a Campeur for Eroica, and even a wireless shifting Neutrino for traveling. But this is the first time we've put together a bike for a specific food recipe. Move aside #CoffeeOutside, introducing a Neutrino for #GuacOutside.”

3. Floyd’s of Leadville

“If you've been waiting all year to put an event on your calendar, make it this one... or 5. Floyd's Gravel Series: 5k miles, over 50k feet of climbing, $5k entry fee and $5 cash purse. Lottery registration opens and closes today- April 1st. Entries fees can be paid by tossing a briefcase full of cash at the specified drop point. No funny business.”

“As kids, we drank a glass of milk every night with dinner. During multi-day self-supported races, milk has gotten me through. I chugged whole liters of it during the Trans Am and the Tour Divide. I ordered it from bars during the French Divide. There’s nothing like milk to bring dead legs back to life and I hope to keep riding til I’m 100. Thrilled with the new @gotmilk partnership.”
