I live in Portland, and I am a member of the Chinese Garden. I can take you there as a guest. It closes at 5 PM. It is located at NW 3rd and NW Everett. All of the buses in Portland are free in...

During June, I injured my knee while WORKING on my bike. I was squatting while replacing the brake pads, and didn't realize my knee was getting sore. After three weeksof easting my knee, my knee...

Is she in the medical profession:eek:

I agree with the original statement. First because if nothing else, my helmet makes me feel more confident somehow, and I feel this makes me ride better, because I feel less skittish. Second, I...

Thanks for your support. I love this community. I am an alumna of Portland State University, and they have opened a bicycle co-op on campus. It is a small place, with only two bike stands, and one...

Sadly, I not sure that it is really all that true.
(You are thinking about us, your biking sorority.)

The first picture really creeped me out too, and I didn't even see the phallic imagery...

That crow had very good karma, having someone who went through all that phone nonsense for her. Glad you got to see her perk up!:cool:

I can't help thinking that if this were the 50's or 60's we would all be talking about a new dress, and not a bike:D
but I wonder how much different our conversation would be:confused:

I will...

I am so glad that you were not seriously hurt.

I had a similar accident (luckily I was in a car). I was out of work for two weeks, due to torn muscles in my shoulder, thanks to my shoulder...

Thanks for your input,

I'll drag it down to them, but they were pretty non-committal when I asked them to try to put a street value on my Schwinn. Actually, I didn't want a street value, I wanted...

Thanks, I am a member of a bike coop, and they have mechanics to help me, so I am not to worried about the actual mechanical stuff right now.

So is the bike a low enough value that I am just as...

Reasoning that I have used (with a BF, who had no say over my money, but I am a wimp, and he was a control freak:o ):

Now that I am riding regularly, I don't want to get out of the habit if my...

I am a very timid rider. But I would consider eye contact with a driver a necessity, if I thought he and I might be in the same place at the same time. I don't CARE who I right, I KNOW who will...

... giving me a hankerings for Tim Tams, when I don't even know what they are:D .

Don't do this to yourself. It reminds me of my mother.:mad:

I was the outcast in my Catholic school, and avoid the daily taunts, jeers and pushes of 150 classmates. I wanted to go to the...

I would recommend a book titled, "Listen to your Pain." The thing I liked about it is that it gave very specific diagnostic tests that a lay person could perform at home.to differentiate between...

Don't feel bad, so was I! I remember when my dad would take us on vacation, and he refused to pay more than 32.9, but he would always stop for a fill at 29.9. What scares me is that I can't...

Thanks!

To Ridebikeme,

What I meant was that I want to take parts off the Diamondback to put on a old Schwinn (if possible) Specifically, I want to swap out the old 'ten speed' bars for the...

:confused:

This is a statement that I don't really agree with. Yes, gas prices are involved in the cost of nearly everything. However, in the long run, we will need to find alternatives. ...

But your accident is an expense of their owning a dog. Leaving a dog to run free is irresponsible. Luckily (for the dog) it ran in front of you, and not a semi-truck. If these people are...

Are you riding your 70's vintage bike right now? I am riding an early 80's bike. For my current needs, it is probably the best thing for me, except for the low handlebars. I am not very flexible,...

I wrote to a couple of bike shops to learn more about a bike I own and received no response.

Now I am thinking that I want to use the handlebars on my 1980's Schwinn, so I thought I would ask...

Gee, that title makes me sound like a bike snob, but once I bought a department store bike, and just couldn't ride it without feeling winded, even a ride of less than a mile was a struggle. :( Years...

I wish to commute in the evening on Marine Drive in Portland, and I wish to know when is the best time to leave my meeting, when I can still be visible without lights. I went to look up sunset...

Hi,

it has been a long time since I've visited this forum. However today, I finally gave some serious thought to my bikes. (Not that I actually DID anything mind you! LOL! (Well I did turn...
