A true northerner knows manmade snow when he sees it.

A lot of them are making road bike looking e-bikes now. You can also get a "Copenhagen Wheel" or some such thing and stick it on any bike. We had a guy fly past us on Tuesday and at first glance it seemed to be just an old road bike but I could see the huge diameter hub in the back which is a motor.

She must be on a Caad. Doesn’t look like that. Not a Caad 13 either. I’ll start an investigation and report back.

A friend has a Trek that looks like a cruiser and it has a 500w motor. He carries 3 batteries and the thing weighs 65 pounds but he says he can do a century on it.

I'm not sure there was ever an RS that actually looked good. That was always the ugly cousin of the Rs and Ss and Ps.

I'm sure that there some stronger-than-me women in my metro, but I can't say that I've ever come across one on the road, which is a pity.

Huh. How did you even have an assumption about who it might be? Is there a strong local woman that's whispered about at the bike shops and cafe stops?

Theres a couple actually. One my father in law knows really well. I’ve caught sightings when driving around with my family but this isn’t her.
I rarely see people when I ride during the week, because of the time I ride. So it peaks my interest, also want to see if they have a better route than the current one that I am doing.

Huh, it feels like this was just a couple days ago, but LesterOfPuppets's Cardinals are at it again tonight.
Good luck.

Soloist/ S1. At least the price is more realistic (-ish) but while I've grown OK with exposed cables after getting frustrated with integrated, that routing is awful - it looks like a sailing ship's rigging. And would look better with an entirely different cockpit, really.

short dentist who is no longer flexible enough to ride it? Possibly hasn't ridden in years given that they want a high price for an old bike.

Wondering if we should renege on our Thanksgiving invitation to my brother. He's coming from a lower prevalence area and will travel by POV, but it seems like a bit of a risk for all concerned. Sad!

Lots of talk about jackets. No mention of a certain jacket is puzzling.
In other news, i rode after work in the dark, cold evening. Wearing a certain jacket. I was perfectly comfortable.

1st play of the game indicated continued problems on the Seahawks' Offensive line. Hope they get it together tonight
