I'm a lefty unclippy kinda girl, all the way

(insert wolf whistle here)!!! love it! especially the kickstand :)

saddle that came with my bike didn't work well for me. bought a brooks B-17 and it was comfortable right outta the box. had to adjust the tilt some, but now it's perfect. finally breaking in too! :)

Man that's terrible! Seems no matter how careful we all are (using a crosswalk, no less), danger always lurks and sometimes nails us. I'm glad to hear you're alive and recovering, Invisiblewmn! I...

looks like a padded shoehorn. ouch...

yup to what sgtiger said. tremendously comfy now. i can ride 15-20 miles without chamois and not feel an ounce of owies. more miles than that, i've not dared. ;)

i love when friends see my Brooks...

:) i'm a slave to a cockatiel, black-capped conure, spice finch, black hooded nun finch, and three canaries. might be adding a society finch this weekend. my friend has one available for adoption —...

hey elk — the nose is only tilted up a hair and i've gotta really look at it to notice — i sit farther back on the saddle, so contact with the nose anyway is minimal. with the nose level, the sit...

fwiw, i leveled the nose at the start and it was not comfy for my riding position. kept sliding forward and putting too much pressure on my wrists/hands, among other problems. so i tweaked my brooks...

i love my brooks B17. comfortable right out of the box, and getting more so as the miles roll by. i tilted the nose slightly up to accommodate my riding position and it's been perfect since. never...

oh but it's much more fun to roll onto my back with my legs up and arms wrapped around to my butt while handling measuring tape and squishing my tush to find my sitbones while negotiating the...

i've gotta do the "few seconds" thing for last year's MiNewt to enter flashing mode too.

i dig how small and lightweight this light is!

the MiNewt X2 at REI was $189 while the MiNewt (regular) was only $86-ish after discount + sale, so it was worth the brightness hit for me. i don't do hardcore / long rides at night and mainly the...

i just picked up the last MiNewt at seattle's REI. $106 - 20% = a steal... :)

If the sun's beating down, I can easily suck down between 2-3 liters of water on a 40-mile ride. I *have* to make sure I replenish electrolytes or I get royally funked up. :)

there's a bike lane most all the way (just a handful of blocks without it near leary), and traffic's light.

in phinney ridge, we go along greenwood to 77th and head west down the hill (it's less steep around 77th than the other roads near us) to 8th ave. we cruise down the bike lane all the way to BG. we...

we headed out the door for a burke gilman ride today — about 38 miles roundtrip beneath what turned out to be beautiful weather. not a drop of rain from phinney ridge all the way out to bothell!
...

ohhhh i've gotta get fenders for my bike soon. let the rain come!! (just not 'til i have the fenders, mkay?) :D

way cool, a free light! i'm curious to learn how you like it — i'm on the hunt for one. had a niterider digital night owl, and while really bright, i hated all the bulky parts...

thanks, mimi! yeah seattle REALLY represents on this board! :cool:

Thanks! Can't call myself a professional photographer. I'll shoot photos for clients maybe once a year, 'cause it's more of a hobby for me. :)

Here's my B17 Champion Ti baby! Still breaking 'er in. So far, so good!

If all goes well, I'll get one of...

so a person buying a mildly-to-moderately used brooks couldn't just adjust the tension to tighten the leather, and thus gradually reform it to their own tushy?

broccoli bands? holy MacGyver, Batman! that's resourceful! nice, i'll remember that. they're pretty strong too.
