Rewind the Cassette - January 23, 2011

Rewind the Cassette is a short weekly feature covering some of the more interesting bits of news from the cycling world. It is not meant to be a definitive feed of all thats happened in the prior week... just some of the bits that caught my eye.

• Sport Illustrated has written an article to be published in the January 24th issue reporting new findings about allegations that Lance Armstrong may have used performance enhancing drugs during his reign as seven-time winner of the Tour de France. Will this ever end?
• Floyd Landis has "retired" from cycling. Good riddance.
• The 2011 cycling season has started! The Tour Down Under kicked off earlier this week and quickly made news on stage 2 when both Tyler Farrar and Mark Cavendish went down hard in a crash. The race was dominated by many of the Australian cyclists, ultimately being won by Cameron Meyer of the Garmin-Cervelo team. As a side note, I think Ben Swift of Team Sky might have the coolest name amongst the young cyclists. Good thing he's fast....
• Nick Legan of Velonews wrote an interesting piece about the World Bicycle Relief's Buffalo Bike. Very cool. Remember, I'm riding for them!
