My husband and I will be coming to the Phoenix area (from Canada) in mid-April for a week of road riding. Is there a particular area of Phoenix, or surrounding Mesa, Scottsdale etc, that would be a...
I have the Joe Blow Pro and it's the best floor pump I've ever had. Easy to pump to 110 psi and durable valve head / easy to latch on. It has the "smart" head (one valve fits both presta & schrader)....
At 4'10 and about 95 pounds soaking wet when I was in high school, I had HUGE boobs. And I mean huge. I have no idea the size (I don't think I ever wanted to know) but think Dolly Parton. I spent...
Hi, My husband and I, and our road bikes, will be spending a week in the Myrtle Beach area in late October. Any suggestions on where to road bike? Or links where we can find route information?...
Hi,
I have a compact double on my road bike. I've noticed a bit of chain rub when I am in the big ring and the largest cog (easiest gear) at the back. The chain rub disappears when I drop it down to...
This past winter, I was introduced to the term "geezered" while skate skiing - getting passed by older men. I had first passed this group of men who commented to me, while laughing, "hey we just got...
Dear Sophie,
Thank you for positioning yourself beside the Scrabble board. I was getting my butt kicked and had six vowels on my rack. Your tail swoop across the board was timed perfectly, thus...
I spent 2 1/2 weeks bike touring around Cape Breton and from Lunenberg to Halifax (self-supported) a few years back. An absolutely spectacular ride! Cape Breton is gorgeous, the climbs are...
I commute year-round, in the dark, in the rain, and have really liked Blackburn lights - really bright and they won't break the bank.

Thank you, Sarah!
My boyfriend and I are planning a 2-week trip to San Francisco (and Yosemite and Napa) in late July. We'll be bringing our road bikes and want to do some fantastic day rides. We're not sure where to...
For the second time in 4 days, it was another "red horizontal box" day. In other words, a heavy rainfall warning was posted by Environment Canada for our area. And apparently there's another warning...
Yup. No better (in fact worse) than Greyhound.
I have found car rental companies that do one-ways to Portland. I just have to now get from Portland to Astoria (which is doable on Amtrak).
This...
Hi,
I'm planning on cycling the Oregon coast in early July, beginning in Astoria, Oregon (where my car will be) and ending either in Arcata or Eureka, California.
I'm trying to figure out how to...
Thank you! I'd love to get some ideas on routes.
Hi,
I'm toying with the idea of doing a multi-day road bike trip in California in mid-April.
I'm just not sure what's the best area to head to at that time of year.
I'm looking at about 4 or 5...

To work by bike: 35 minutes (depending on weather, lights, whether i"m chased by rabid dogs, wind, fog, slippery leaves, the desire to actually get to work etc)
Home by bike: a...

[QUOTE=firenze11;371562] I can't find nuun here and they told me to order it from a wholesaler. . .
Mountain Equipment Coop sells Nuun. (at least the one in Vancouver does)
Glad to hear you lived to tell the tale.
I had a similar incident with a Translink driver (on the North Shore), did what you did (repeated the bus number over and over in my head) and sent an email...
