Hey Ladies,
I thought some of you might enjoy this...
I wrote in to CNN about my bike commute in response to a question on gas prices:...
I love MyChelle Dermaceuticals ... fantastic products, no artificial fragrances, colors, parabens, etc. & my skin has never been happier. Her sampler pack has a little bit of everything:...
Hi Nancy,
Just got back and had a phenomenal (if too-short) trip. You are right on with the chicken soup idea...I had so many difficulties, but at the end of each day I could never say that it...
Hi Nancy,
Awesome! I am cycling between San Martín de los Andes (arg) and Ushuaia, in Coyhaique, Chile at the moment... you will have a blast on the trip, I have met quite a lot of cyclists doing...
Hi ladies,
I'm off on vacation today, I am going to be riding my bicycle through Patagonia, from the Lake District in the north to Tierra del Fuego at the southernmost tip of South America, down...
I hear you. I put Contis on my MTB, figured it would be easy since my road tires are a breeze... it took me two hours and caused me a lot of pain. I honestly think that half of my problem was...
Hey C,
I think I can help you out...a little, though with the caveat that I've not ever been to Australia (yet!), so I can't say exactly what you have, though I've heard that your standard...
Hey Sarah,
I didn't see that you were from the Ft. earlier... I live in Boulder. I know what you mean about luggage out of Denver, I am way more afraid of the handlers at DIA than I am the...
I have bad knees and accordingly have great love for the bike fit guy at my LBS. He positioned my cleats for me based on my knee position/rotation and adjusted my saddle just a tiny bit...made a...
I have the instinct down pat, and still fell off the other day. No fun, but you have the right attitude. I think the first fall is important. You no longer have to wait for it to happen...

Hi Aly,
I trained for my first century this past summer and followed the Diablo cyclists training plan...can't find it online now, but essentially it amounted to increasing your weekly mileage...
Hey Grog,
I found your post really useful...a hard case won't work for me but cardboard makes me nervous...I was wondering what type of bag you got?
Thanks,
Anne
A 15 MPH average on a 50 mile ride is a serious goal, *especially* on a mountain bike/hybrid. I did a 65 mile ride that averaged 16.1 MPH (3,000 ft of elevation gain) this fall and it was really hard...
I'm not in Colo Springs, and not into shooting, but if you are bringing your bike (or planning to rent one) while you are in CO, give me a shout! My parents live north of the Springs and there are...
Totally agreed on longish hair, no bangs. I shower when I get to work, put a little bit of product in it and it looks great, 5 minutes. I have some natural curl, so shorter lengths get out of...
It is snowing here, snowed several inches overnight. I rode in to work and had a surprisingly good ride; The paths and roads were mucky but not bad, everything else was absolutely beautiful and...
I saw my HS boyfriend several years after college; we'd kept in touch (barely) through college, then had coffee one night several years later. He had changed a lot & not for the better...I got a...
Doesn't that look like a *cool* bike? If I had room for another bike, that would be it. Maybe I'll sell my car. :) I'd bet it's actually pretty easy to haul 30 lbs on... maybe you can test ride one,...
Beautiful new bike & a hearty congrats on quitting smoking & improving your life so. You look wonderful & very happy.
Xtracycles are very cool:

Amen to that. The only woman-specific thing I buy is clothes. My favorite LBS had a maintenance clinic and they really encourage women and men alike to take it. They have a stand where customers...
Agree that there are some great threads here with a lot of suggestions.
But I really actually dislike it when there is a 'corner' for women... there is one store here that does that and I find...
To update this... I ended up putting a new chain on the bike for my mom (the purple bike) & gave it a new cassette, then my sis & I brought the bike down to her yesterday. The hardest part of the...
Hmmm, yea, I know what you mean. I have a bit of a reputation for pointy shoes and dressing up, but since I started commuting to work by bike I've started moving toward things that fold up easily...
Isn't that what the 'wiping surface' is for on cycling gloves? :)
