Thanks. I thought maybe if you were closer to Chicago, I'd come out and take a look at the bike. I've had bike fitting issues, especially with my upper body and reach to the handlebars, and I...

Kerry, where in Illinois are you?
I've done this ride many times and will be doing it again this year, and it is really a lot of fun. It's one of my favorite weekend rides.
Just an FYI about the dorms - I have a couple of...
Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I've been finding some interesting recipes.
I was just in Sarasota over Christmas, and while we didn't ride Longboat Key this year, we have in the past. It's great riding, unless it's very windy. The only problem is there's a lot of...
Thanks, everyone, for the responses.
Indysteel, I've been riding for years. I had a Trek road bike with a triple for nine years, but two and a half years ago, I got a Cannondale with the compact...
I brought my bike into my LBS today and talked with the mechanic about swapping components to get some lower gearing. I currently have a 34-50 compact crank and 12-26 nine-speed cassette. He said...
Ryda and Loraura, what's the brand name of the bags that you found?
In the meantime, I've put black electrical tape on the Velcro. Hopefully it won't do any more damage.
Thanks for all your...
That story was covered big time in Chicago because the three young women were from here, and one of them was killed.
Here's an update on the driver:
"The 86-year-old driver will appear in court...
Yesterday I noticed really bad pilling on the inside of the left leg of my PI bike shorts, with some pilling on the inside of the right leg. I checked my other shorts and found the same thing,...
I don't know about all of you, but my opinion of Lance Armstrong changed after reading this article:

I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs for you and your husband.
I just wanted to give everyone an update on my travels with my cleated bike shoes.
I took my Sidis in my carry-on bag both ways, and I had absolutely no problems. I don't think the screeners even...
This may be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
Has anyone carried their cleated bike shoes in their carry-on bags? Last year I packed my Sidis in my checked bag, but I worried...
Maybe I'm confused, but wasn't this guy behind you at some point before he turned in to you? If so, he should have known that you were in the bike lane and waited for you to cross the entrance...
I've ordered from Minimus. It's been a few years now, but I had no problem with them.
I didn't post last week, but this week I'm at 133.
I wish I hadn't seen this thread. I just bought another pair of Triple S shorts, knickers, and Smartwool socks! Like I really needed to spend more money. :rolleyes:
134 yesterday. Not good. I'm going in the wrong direction. :(
For all the pet lovers out there, there's a new pet food recall. Check it out here:

132-1/4 this morning.
I really wanted to be under 130 during the last challenge, and I almost made it, but I'm back up again, so this is where I'm starting.
Goal: 128.
Thanks for doing...
Hi, SCurve,
I live in Chicago, and last year I went to Get a Grip - they have two shops, one on Irving Park and one on Fulton - and got fitted on my eight-year-old Trek. They made a bunch of...
Count me in. And thanks, GLC, for doing this!
Oops, back up 1/2 pound, to 131-3/4, so I didn't meet my goal, but I at least lost something.
Thanks for all your hard work, GLC, and, yes, I would be interested in another challenge.
I'm actually a member of the Evanston Bike Club, so I've been doing volunteer work for the ride, but I am planning on riding.
It sounds like we may be almost neighbors. Send me a PM if you want,...
