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

Nah, I think it's great. My LBS carries Rapha, but they're really selective with what they're carrying in-store... and I don't fancy much of what they've selected. Looks like REI only has the Merino warmers (I'm kind of more interested in the non-merino options, I just assume they'd be better in terms of wind blocking...), but that's better than what my LBS is carrying... which is none of their warmers.

There is actually a guy around here that rides with his dog in a basket. The guy is real erratic and a menace.

I've seen someone hauling a dog in the back, but not on the road.

Sometimes see dogs being hauled in trailers.

People do weird things.

I was behind a cyclist towing a trailer with a bigger small dog and her purse on Friday. Bad pass in rush hour traffic.

Proper arms and legs are essential. I don't do knickers.

Yikes, a 2 hour nap would ruin my night sleep. I prefer to fall into a coma soon as my head hits the pillow.

Did I miss something? Did you retire or just on vacation? Usually I'm on top of things.

Mrs John suggested I take my cat on a bike ride. I told her he weighs as much as the bike.

My friend took her bike to the LBS and they said they can send it out for repair, $300-$500, or see about a crash replacement discount from BMC.

I don't have any experience with this but I told her to send some pics to Calfee and see what they say. I would trust them and I don't know of another frame repair service I could trust.
