Hi,
I just wanted to add a likely last bump to this post. My Climate Ride fundraising deadline is about three weeks away, and I have $780 to go. I was also laid off in June (I've got a continued UI...
I think I forgot to check the box on my original post to tell me when replies were posted (or else they all went to my spam folder?), so i sort of forgot about this thread! anyway, thanks for the...
Forgot to mention that I'll be fundraising through August 31, 2012. (Also, I've added two more bike advocacy beneficiaries.) Thanks!
ha, yes, i'm looking forward to that :-) (not that i have a huge amount of difficulty as it is, just that i plan on using it for shorter distances)
Thanks all for your feedback.
BodhiTree, that's interesting, re: the BV feeling "faster" than the DC. I guess I would have assumed the opposite.
Muirenn, I'm actually not compact at all. :-) ...
I'm thinking of getting a soma buena vista as an around-town bike. I already have a soma saga which seems to be working out fine, and the buena vista geometry looks very similar, so I think it would...
Hi,
I'm in the process of fixing up an old hybrid for around town/commuting purposes. Originally the plan was to use the bike only for short rides (say, 20 min. or less at a time), but I eventually...
thanks for the info. My speed estimate is fairly ballpark--I'm not taking my overall average either. (Strava link didn't work--looks like I need login info) I think 12-14 is just a typical speed...
The subject line is what i'm looking for. i think i'm about 12-14mph "on the flats," pretty darn slow going up hills, but particularly come spring and summer (nice weather, and also training for a...
Hi all,
In October 2011, I participated for the first time in the California Climate Ride, which is a 320-mile bicycle ride down the CA coast to benefit 25 environmental and bicycle advocacy...
One thing I've found is that it seems like some businesses would like the request in writing. One or two of the places I called re: donations of gift cards or coupons for a raffle asked that I email...
holy moly! definitely hadn't heard of that one...
Thanks for all your suggestions. I have a couple more ideas I might pull out close to the end if I find I still need to raise more. For now, I'm still just contacting family, friends and coworkers....
Hi everyone,
I signed up for my first charity ride ever, Climate Ride California, taking place this fall. I've started fund raising and have been doing relatively well for this early in the game, I...
Hello!
This October I will be participating in my first charity bike ride ever, and I picked a doozy: Climate Ride California, which is a 5-day, 320-mile ride from Eureka, CA to San Francisco, CA...
KathiCville, sorry about the delay in my response--got buried in work stuff. that is in fact the jacket i'm looking for, thank you for the lead!
thanks for letting me know! however, no, that doesn't look to be the same jacket. this is the jacket i'm looking for:...
This is a long shot, but just wondering if anyone had one of these they wanted to sell. Seeking the convertible kind, i.e. sleeves that can zip off. I'm interested in acquiring one but hopefully not...
ok, i will try that sitting on hands/having someone else measure when i stand up thing. that "add 2 cm" (to your outside sit bone measurement) guideline is very helpful.
and i agree, that is a...
sundial: this saddle will be for a commuter/touring-type bike.
knot: so, the outer-to-outer measurement of the laughably huge, 2.5" circles that i created on the tinfoil was about 203mm. based...
thanks malkin.
judging by the tinfoil measurement i did earlier, my sit bones seem to be around 5.5"-6" (140mm-152.4mm) apart, from their center areas. if i got a more standard 175mm wide saddle,...
Knotted: thanks for the info. Now that you mention it, i'm not really sure what my bf meant about the width getting in the way as one bends forward either. but i have a feeling he has a general grasp...
I had yet another question about brooks saddles. i realize there are a lot of threads on here about them, but a lot of them have been dormant for a while, plus in my searches i hadn't yet found the...
actually, i was wading through lots of old forum posts and trying to decide whether to post a new question about reach and drop. i do know that i am pretty unhappy braking in either position (e.g. on...
thanks becky-- i have just been realizing that about the biomax bars (my boyfriend and i were under the mistaken impression that they only came in 31.8). and thanks for the info re: silver bars (i...
