Boy, oh, boy...what have I done?!? I'll be 50 at the end of this year; I would love to hit the 2500 mile goal by 12/16! :)

Happy New Year!

I know how painful it is to wait for delivery of a new bike! I would have been frustrated, too. I ordered two BF NWT's on 8/3 with a promise date of 9/14. Both bikes were shipped on 9/12 and...

We bought a Honda Element a couple of months ago and love it! Easily fit 3 bikes in with the seats folded up. Looks wise, it is growing on me, but boy it sure is fun to drive. I don't find a...

Goals for 2006:

1. Ride more than once or twice a week; lately it's been more like once or twice a month! :mad:
2. Stop being afraid of the mountain lions and get back out on the dirt. :eek: ...

Hi Cathy!

I used to live in LA County and couldn't find one Trek dealer that would treat me like a decent human being. It left a sour taste in my mouth and swore I wouldn't consider buying a...

Three weeks ago I upgraded from a Specialized Sirrus to the Trek 1500 WSD and I absolutely love it!!! Started riding a mountain bike last summer, then wanted something to ride on the road, hence the...

This is so sad. Hubby and I did a nice 27 mile ride in Sonoma County a couple of weeks ago. It was a little scary, being a pretty new roadie, riding on these narrow roads. We did find motorists to...

Age (general or specific): Just turned 47!

We use a Hollywood hitch rack for 4 bikes. Most of the time we are only hauling 2 bikes so we have ample space between the bike's and they don't touch each other. When we have all 4 bikes, we cut...

I haven't seen any rattlesnakes yet even though we have an abundance of them. No encounters with squirrls yet, have seen plenty of lizards and bear tracks this past weekend. My biggest fear is...

My husband and I will be 47 later this year and we just started mountain biking a few weeks ago. We are having such a blast!!!It is so cool to have found an activity that I actually enjoy and look...

I slept wrong on my left arm about 3 months ago and suffered terribly! My arm, at one point, swelled, the tendon from the bottom of the bicep was so tight I could hardly straighten my arm. The...

Here is a link I found interesting and helpful: http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1998/03mar/kronpa.htm

On the description page, under size, it lists women's 13, 16 & 19.5. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at all the bikes and missed it!

I was happy that the bike shop allowed me to do an...

Thank you, bounceswoosh, for the links. Yes, very helpful!

JanT ~ For quite a while we will remain on bike paths and fireroads. Someday we'll tackle the gnarly singletracks. I found the bike...

Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm loading the bike up and off to the bike shop we go!

I agree, this is a great forum and am glad I found it!

Thanks again, Ladies!

Hi Monique!

Yes, when seated on the saddle. When I lowered the seat just a bit I am on bent toes which feels safer for me. I keep reading about the saddle height where you can't touch the...

Hi There!

Newbie here! I've been lurking here for a few days and need some advice.

We bought our first MTB Saturday (Trek 3700) and I'm a little concerned that the bike may be a little too big...
