Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bike Radar advertised in a bunch of cycling magazines and in ProCycling's Tour de France special mag, trying to drive traffic there. they made claims that they were the first place for cycling news, had the biggest routes library and the "liveliest" cycling forums (and that they'd have the best TDF coverage). Vists the site and what do you see?

Coming soon...

LOL. I was actually hoping they'd have great pro interviews, videos, etc.

^^ No. You build up hype by putting it in advertisements, etc. You KILL hype by leaving a "Coming Soon..." website up.
