Oh gosh - I lost my father last August, also. I sometimes feel I haven't started grieving yet. I live about 5 hours from my parents' home so it seems like we'll just catch up next time I visit. Then...

I go through this too, sometimes. I have lots of exercise videos and many times it's just easier and faster to just workout at home, rather than get all the gear together (clothes, shoes, helmet,...

Nope, not silly at all, at least to me ;) I've been shopping for a bike and I'm afraid I'm going to make a decision based on appearance, and I know better.
My Trek FX was stolen when it was just a...

Your bike looks beautiful! And going back to your first post, I feel somewhat neurotic right now, trying to choose a color for my new bike. The color I thought I wanted suddenly looked kind of...

velo - does your LBS have the Salsa in stock? They seem to be hard to come by this "late" in the season. I went shopping last week and there were about 5 available (worldwide) in the small size that...

How did it go? Those look like beautiful bikes!

That's great news! Do you know what adjustment made the biggest difference, or was it a little of everything?

This is exactly how my cat sounds! I've described it as a cross between a quack and a bark. Sometimes he just squeaks. He, too, is a talkative cat. He was already about 10 when I got him, and I don't...

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I can compare numbers for a road bike, but I know nothing about mountain bike geometry so I didn't even look at the charts. Those numbers are bigger than my...

Probably a 44 or 46 (if it comes in a 46, I don't remember. I'm getting confused with all the bikes I've researched)



It's not dismissed yet. I keep thinking how nice it would be to have the...

I checked out the Vaya a few days ago (I think that's actually how this search may have started). There are something like five left in the world in my size. The dealer said they're kind of hard to...

I just had my Trek 720 fixed up a bit and there's an 820 on Craigslist in my neighborhood. In blue. Must...resist...

Thanks for the replies. The computers at work weren't working well last night so I couldn't reply sooner.

This is what is so fun about this forum. I got ideas that may not have occurred to me...

Oh my - that plum color is perfect! That's all I needed to see ;) I was thinking of the Pacer (with a straight bar), but this is worth looking into. I've looked at (online) the Trek FX and the...

At the end of last season I bought myself a new road bike. I had ridden a straight bar bike for over 20 years and decided to try something "new". Because of some chronic neck and shoulder problems,...

Congratulations! I'm sure you're glad to finally get to test it out. Happy miles!

Happy Birthday, and enjoy the ride(s)!

Nice - that's just the one I'm looking at! I hope you get to take her home soon!

Thanks TigerMom. I didn't mean to compare the two bikes - I know they're very different, and I would certainly be using them for different things. When I re-read my post I realized it was confusing....

I've seen them a few times here in central New York. One night, they were visible at work, so driving home I took a detour to a spot that I knew was flat and open to the north (basically farmland),...

In my never-ending search for a bike when I'm not sure just what I'm looking for, I came across this:

Just a quick comment because I've got to go to work.
About 22 years ago I bought a Trek hybrid. It was one of the first, I think, steel frame, no suspension. It was my everything bike. About 10...

And handlebars - I think I'd want a mouthguard.

I might be interested. What size do you normally wear? I usually wear a medium in fitted shorts, but a small in baggy styles.

I'm looking for some capris or knickers (in the American sense, not British ;)) to wear cycling. I don't necessarily want cycling-specific capris. I'd like something loose enough to wear over biking...
