My Last Post was 13 Years Ago
Looks like this site is still doing well. I can't believe you're all still here.
Had a child that consumed all of my time/resources for biking. Got rid of everything except my ~2006 Trek 520 that I used on a Seattle to SF bike tour, pinnacle of my bike life. And a vintage Peugeot PKN 10, inherited from a brother I lost.
A job change with difficult parking forced me to buy a folder (Dahon Uno) and the moment I sat on that thing, I knew I was back.
I live in Davis, CA now, which is as good as it gets for bike community in the US.
On the lookout to get back my first real bike, a 1988 Cannondale Alpine Series.
So, what did I miss?

One guy in a thread suggested that another guy gave bad advice.
In another thread, someone thanked a guy for good advice.
Welcome back, Kotter.

I don’t use email notification, so not sure how that’s supposed to work.

Welcome back. I am a new member. I was on some other forum (or this one?) some time back. I have gone through a few computers and probably a few email addresses since.
It was easier just joining again.
