April Fools: Back to the Future!

After Velonews.com updated their website with a new look and feel, they got a lot of positive feedback. I can't find old Grand Tour stories as easily as the old site, but that's a minor gripe compared to the few, but vocal, negative responses. So, Velonews will launch a new beta site this year, using templates from 1996! Well-played, Velonews, well-played. Although, Mr. Internet himself might actually be interested in that concept of an Information SuperBikePath. Hey, if he thinks turning off the lights for an hour is the way to save the future of the planet, surely eschewing any kind of non-human powered vehicle is the best way forward. When asked to comment on the changes to the website, the two senior editors of Velonews, O'Grady and Pelkey, had this to say: “I view this redesign and management shake-up as a victory for the traditions of great journalism. I know this web thingy doesn’t have the impact of ink on paper, but Pelkey and I respect the hard-nosed approach real newspaper men bring to their work. We think we can bring that to the Internet, too. Now, get off of my lawn.”
