Bikes are pretty neat
That Mark Gardner article is a real treat to read...what a well-written, refreshingly honest take on the ups and downs of the touring experience.
Thanks as always for sharing SpeedofLite!

I'm not sure I've experienced any "squirming" from steel brake calipers (even on a road bike), and even if I did, there are stabilizers that are available that replace the factory tension spring. My perception has been that my steel Phillips gives a more resolute stop than any aluminum calipers.
