That sounds like a challenge.

Heard of Stuxnet? Or, closer to home, Loapi? It has caused physical damage to Android phones. (No, I am not saying any "updates" have done this, or that that's the...

That's a possible issue. I don't spend a lot of time on very rough surfaces. I don't think it would damage the phone but can't make any promises.

And I'm not one of those who needs to wear...

*Only* grandson? Oh, right, it would be different if you had spares.

Just kidding, of course. I appreciate the sentiment.

I got the Marin

Picked it up today. I didn't care much about the color, but the one on the sales floor was indeed the dark red people chose from the manufacturer's site. I was able to take it for a test drive on the...

Thanks. I will ask for a test ride before buying. I have no strong preference between brake types.

Time to update - to one of these?

I am recently retired and currently riding my 1969 3-speed Schwinn Racer; which I've had from new and am still pretty happy with it, except that (a) some parts are wearing out that will be hard to...

What a bizarre system

"Counterintuitive" is an understatement. The bike lanes should be adjacent to vehicle traffic, not between parked cars and the curb. This way, people have to exit cars and walk across the lane...

Interesting discussion. I only ever learned the signals given with the left hand, and have been using them ever since; but I learned them over 50 years ago. I now find my state requires that old...

Thanks - I did not fully appreciate the difference. Now that I see, that's something I can check. If the gear cluster is freewheel type, I have found a replacement rear wheel that would make the bike...

New wheels for old bike?

Two ways to *initiate* a turn, but not to follow through

Obviously all turns that do not result in crashes require that you keep your center of gravity in the correct line over the contact point between the tires and the pavement. There is one and only one...

Still riding my first "real" bike

Not the oldest or longest riding, I'm sure, but my first bike (other than child-sized) is the one I'm riding now: 1969 Schwinn Racer, 3-speed, in "campus green." which I got for my 14th birthday. All...
