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

I don't use mine often, but it's nice to have on hand.

I have a thing about saving turns on the barrel adjusters, but I only use it on derailleurs.

Absolutely do jump back in and inject a little life into the thread, the Dougs can't do it all.

First race of the year. 10 minutes quicker than last year, and I'm pleased. Racing the 40+Pro123 isn't for the faint of heart.

So the other day I saw some old fellow with a really long beard riding a bike in the neighborhood. And that got me thinking - has anyone ever gotten their beard caught in the chain?

I wasn't aware of this contest. Wonder if they can use disc brakes?

This suggested video caught my attention because my saddle is kaput. Some of it was mildly interesting, but it didn't live up to its billing.

For example, how do you figure out the width of your seat bones?

Someone has a thing you sit on and it makes an Impression. Then it can be measured. I think it is Specialized. Not sure.
