Sure would be nice if it'd at least be up in the 50s in the mornings! I'm only *just* getting back into commuting for this year in the last few weeks, mostly because I'm a wimp and therefore kept...

I'm not even sure how to phrase this as a ...you... kind of thing, but it amuses me, nonetheless.

My dog mostly hangs out in the yard when I'm not at home, and has taken to sleeping under my van...

Ah, OK! That makes sense. A little fiddly for me - I think I'd just stick the strap inside, like you do.

My one complaint so far is that the instruction sheet that comes with 'em is one of those...

I *just* got some Ortlieb Back Rollers (as in they arrived yesterday afternoon), so I can't officially promote 'em yet. ;-) But they do seem to be the most common model here in the Pacific...

Aww...

I know the feeling, though. My bike was in the shop yesterday for fenders and for some chain issues. I had to drop her off Monday night, and it was really strange having that empty spot. ...

Thanks! That's very helpful!

Any chance you have some pictures of the way the mud flaps are mounted? I'm still kind of afraid of drilling holes in my pretty new fenders, but I know I should eventually. Having an idea of where...

WSD bikes don't work for me at all. As Torrilin said, they are made with the assumption that women are proportionately longer in the legs and short in the torso, which is true for a lot of women. ...

Gilles Berthoud are what I just had put on my Volpe. Mine were only $55, though...guess I lucked out! Or maybe got a different style? They look very nice, in my biased opinion.

From the sound...

Nice, Sandra! All that black and silver is very classy! Man...all of you B-67 folks are makin' me wonder if I shoulda gone all the way and gotten springs!

And SGTiger, BOY that Brooks bar tape...

Unfortunately, I'm flying clear across country, and there's no simple way that I can find to transport my bike without a lot of extra cost and hassle. *snif* I'll probably borrow / rent a bike...

...on days you don't ride, you go through withdrawal symptoms - irritability, inability to concentrate, difficulty in thinking of anything except your next trip...

...you go through almost as much...

Thanks, Xrayted! That's good to know. I'm still doing research and trying to grasp the differences between LEDs and halogen and figuring out just how much I'm willing to spend...so any first-hand...

For those who have the MiNewts...would they be enough lighting for poorly lit areas (not completely without lighting, but close!), or are they more of a "see me!" kind of light?

I just picked up...

Heh...when I drove last weekend, I ended up taking a turn at near full speed, and leaned wayy over in my seat. It works to lean into curves on the bike...but you can't exactly lean a big ol' honkin'...

What the others have said, skyhand - you really have a knack for taking gorgeous photos!

I'm going to try again with my bike next week, I think - get some shots of her with her pretty fenders. :D ...

Very cool, divingbiker!

I'd be interested in a review once you have a chance to try it out a bit! I'm starting to research for lighting, too...

That is sure 'nough *gorgeous*, Mimi! Really nice colors - and I love the fenders!

Miss Edwina's getting fenders of the ordinary metal sort next week. I'm a little nervous...it's going to change...

Oh, I have *so* done these!



I was gonna come back and post that one, but ya beat me to it!

...you have to drive to work one day for some reason, and find you have nothing much to wear - all...

You go on a trail ride on the weekend which involves driving the car to the trail head, and when you get home at the end of the way and pull into your driveway, for a split second you think...

Yay for you! Congratulations!

Bumping the thread with a new picture! :D

My new B-68 on my Bianchi Volpe:

First ride report: I rode in to work today on the new saddle - it's about 12.5 miles, as I've mentioned, so not *really* long, but enough to put it through its paces. My impressions are mostly...

OK, as requested, some pictures! Keep in mind that I'm nowhere near the photographer that skyhand is, and also didn't have anywhere tidy to take shots. :D I ended up kicking the dog off the bed and...

Hi, Lynn!

I just went through this same thing a few months back, in May. I had a lower end mountain bike, but wanted something I could take on long rides on our paved trails here, with maybe just...
