We went on a bike and sail vacation in the Netherlands this summer, and I knew it was the bike mecca, but I still wasn't really actually prepared for how awesomely easy and fun it is to bike there. ...

@ GLC, It wasn't raining nearly that hard on my commute home yesterday, but I was also soaked enough to wish I could have done what you did when you got home. Alas, we have a detached garage ;)

I had a superfun commute this morning on my new tricross. My daughter and her best friend just started middle school this year, and I convinced the other mom to let them bike commute to the school...

Zoom,

and I thought it was only me ;) I sweat like that even when I'm underdressed and other parts of me are going numb from the cold.

Congrats on the new bike! have fun :)

thanks for the advice. I have decided to also get refit on my commuter since that is where the problem developed.

As for names, she just feels like a "Blue" to me. I've always thought girls...

After doing two (sprint distance) triathlons on my commuter bike (a flat bar hybrid) I am now the owner of a new-to-me carbon fiber road bike which I am super excited about for longer recreational...

I am selling a pair of womens US9 Nike free TR fit running shoes. They are black with fluorescent green lining, and have been used for 2 days at work, one 3 mile trail run, one 3mile track run and...

For me, it is a combination of two things. One, the fact that my bars are 600 mm (compared to 380 or 400 mm on a comparable road bike) means that my arms are splayed out at a very wide angle, which...

Hey Caddy,

Please do give us a report on the crux, I'm dying to know how it feels on Ann Arbor's "Paved roads". I tried out a TCX W last week and it felt just as rough on a test ride as my hybrid...

try some a+d ointment before the chamois butter. A+D is one thing that usally works for me post yeast infection to let my skin heal properly.

Congrats on the new bike. I just switched from a Trek Navigator (nicknamed Almira Gulch (the wicked witch of the west from Oz)) to a raleigh alysa last October. I rode the navigator for 8 years,...

I haven't been to Kiawah for 8 years, but last time we were there we rented beach cruisers and pedaled all over the island. I just google kiawah Island bike rental and several rental places came up,...

I fell in love with the sirrus, and so I went in to have them order a vita in my size with the idea that I would purchase one of the two. While I was there, i rode the sirrus and a Raleigh alysa...

The ann arbor bicycle touring society (aabts.org) seems to have a large contingent of riders from the Livonia/plymouth/northville area, and I think a number of their organized weekly rides leave from...

hope things start to turn around for you.

I've been off the thread for a while, but have been( mostly) maintaining the commute everyday. I had one week of bus riding during the big snow dump because I was taking my daughter to camp two...

5 for 5 two weeks running.

Today was my tenth commute of the year. It was snowing and the back streets were rutted and bumpy, making this the first day I wished I had sprung for studded tires. The sun is shining and the...

Not usually warmer, but definitely less overcast and slushy. SD has been warmer than I was expecting though. This is my first visit here, we went to mount rushmore today.

Stayed home to write for work twice last week, so had a 3/3 commuting week. Snowstorms on sunday, and my chain froze, but once I got it thawed out and relubed, the rides were fine. I stuck to the...

Oh and I forgot to update, today the temps were betwee 15-30 degrees, and it seems like its been about the same all week. After the 2 day work week due to the holiday, I'm back to 5 a week...

I second the recommendation for smartwool snowboarding socks. They are incredibly comfortable, and the extra layer of padding on the shin which is meant to prrotect against boot chafing has the...

I'm glad to hear that she is ok and recovering. This really serves as a wakeup call to not let my daughter rely on me to scan the traffic.
