Would I be better off with a USB rechargeable light? Or one with regular AA or AAA batteries? Or a small flashlight on a mount? Are there any USB lights with replaceable batteries?

Right now at least $250 is out of my budget. I'm in the middle of taking a pay cut at work, so I think for a while at least I'll just be putting the bike inside the car. Maybe things will get...

The cardiac arrests are something I'd keep an eye on. Do you have a cardiologist? Or at least get regular physicals?

We don't have showers at work, so I'd be very offensive even if it was just riding to work. I've worked my way up to 8 miles, 4 in the morning and at night. Takes about 25 minutes. Just in the...

I'm 51, had bypass surgery in Dec 2011, and am incredibly out of shape. Just started riding about a month ago. So far I am seeing a difference in my weight- down about 10 pounds so far. No changes...

I think I'm going to skip the Camry rack. There is a quick release, but I don't think she'd appreciate having the back taken up with the bike. I can get it in my car even with the wheel on.

I'd checked the Saris website a few days ago, and from what they said, they don't have one that'll fit the CRV. Hmm.

Yeah, I talked to my better half, and she doesn't want a trailer hitch on her car.

I thought U-Haul might rent bike racks, but they don't, and neither do the bike shops around town- liability.

Not sure I'm saying this right, but it seems like going up hill is more extra work than going down hill is less work.

Got 2.7 miles in in about 20 minutes. I'll go again here in a few hours.

Bike rack for a Honda CRV

I drive a 2000 Honda CRV. Any suggestions for a bike rack that'd fit in a trailer hitch? And are there any that would also fit my wife's 2011 Camry, without a hitch? Probably expecting too much...

Thoughts on putting tail lights on the seat stays? I'd thought about a headlight mounted on the fork, but I think that'd end up shining up too much.

Any experience with any of these?
