I've been grumbling about this problem with Bicycling for two years, and just recently went through back issues to collect examples to use in a letter to the editor. Found several "good" ads - girls...
NOTHING could be as crowded as the 5 boro bike tour! A woman at work is riding it - should be fun! Good luck!
I wear dog tags with name, emergency contact info, blood type, drug allergies (NKDA - no known drug allergies).
I have friends who also keep info in bike pouch and I just don't think that's...
Hey - no chips, no dip, no ice cubes. Oh well serves me right
My first road bike was a 1983 powder blue Panasonic (! - yeah, they got into everything at one time or 'nother) who got named...
Wow gorgeous Zebra-bike! That looks like a really smooth ride - congrats!
In response it Irulan,
When I read the quote you chose from my note, it sounded very boostful to me, so I appologize if that's how it came across to anyone else, it wasn't meant to be so. I meant...
kpc, MY deepest sympathies to you and your family on your loss.
I wanted to chime in with my story - about 5 years ago I was unable to function - period stopped, was falling asleep at work,...
A man decided that he was going to ride a 10-speed bike from Phoenix to Flagstaff. He got as far as Black Canyon City before the mountains just became too much and he could go no farther. He stuck...
Another idea, if you can find one and/or afford one, a massage might work wonders, even just a few minutes (10-15, if localized on that problem) can really help.
good luck!
Great! Which bike did you buy? details, details please!
ACG - happy birthday, just a little late!

I like this a lot! But better,...
Wow, thanks Jobob! I was just beginning to think "Olympics" and maybe I should look for cycling events dates and times - you did my research for me!
I used to be a real Olypmic-adict, but have...
Hi!
I ride a MTB on paved roads pr paths and while it is more work at first, you do get stronger and then it 's no big deal. It might wear the tires faster, which means buying new tires = more $,...
Oh, by the way, e-bay has tons of them up for auction.
Hi! I wore one, but it broke! got pulled to hard and snapped apart on the "s" - I guess it's the weakest letter.
I have seen several "civilians" wearing them around the city, so I guess the...
Wooo - I agree, about those Riv pics - hubba hubba!!! And very good visual examples too. Classy!
Hi Cali!
Thanks for your post! RE: The gear shifters, on my oldest bike 20+ years, one reached down to the top tube of the frame, or on some bikes the front tube of the frame to move the levers...
Hi Caligirl,
Welcome to the forum - I would love to hear more details about your new Dulce! I want to buy the Sport, it would be my first wormen's design road bike, but they are all sold out in...
Raising hand! I'm 461/2.
Started riding at 23 and stopped when I moved into NYC at 28. Relized that I was going mad in city partly becuase I couldn't ride (or so I thought), so a year and a...
I can relate! I remember riding one day (long, long ago in a college far away...) on a woody path and a squirrel trying to cross the path ran parrell to me for several feet before giving up and...
Greetings and welcome hannes,
If you've not been riding at all, 25 miles may be too much, it depends on your general fitness level starting out.
But, last year, after a 15 year lag, I started...

Hi! I'm glad you've seemed to fix that seat problem! 20 miles is a good distance for a fairly new rider.
Congrats on your weight loss and new cycling habit!!! You should be...
