i use chalk paint all the time so may I let you in on a big secret? You can make your own for dirt cheap with a little bit of calcium carbonate and any paint you choose. I get my calcium carbonate at...

I have the 1Up USA. I can mount it with no difficulty. I have the single rack with an add-on so I can carry one bike if it's just me or mount the add-on and carry two if I'm with someone else. You...

Bummer! Too late to the party. I was going to encourage you to look at the 1Up USA. I have it and I love it.

Well it might not be an enthusiast's ride but you have to admit it's kind of cute.

I have a rain jacket purchased from a different store with the same policy. It's at least 10 years old. The waterproofing is peeling at the seams and the darn thing leaks like a sieve. I called the...

2001 Herniated C3-4, herniated C 4-5, herniated and ruptured C 5-6, bulging C 6-7. Severe foraminal stenosis with spinal cord compression. Neural root compression. Severe radiculopathy. Complete...

Another thought is what pedals do you have? Although my knee hasn't been replaced...yet, I do have significant problems and have had three surgeries. I was using SPDs but switched to Speedplay...

I had the Saris Bones 3 bike rack for my Subaru Forester. It was nicely built but frankly I hated it. Took forever to get it secured properly on because it had to be opened very wide to accommodate...

Light blue scrubs, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and CPR are not a good mix. The thing is, I was doing compressions so it's not like I could stop and take care of the problem and not only that every...

Check out http://www.etrailers.com They have a good selection of hitch racks. I have the Sportrack 3 bike version. It's heavy but I really like it.

I'm a nurse. I draw blood all day. Guess what I dress as!!! Actually, I go for the subtle look. I have theatrical fangs that attach to my eye teeth. They aren't very big. I can talk and even smile...

Oakleaf,

That totally cracked me up! :)

Thank You Sarah!!!! I did not know this and it makes all the difference!!!!!

Her LBS is part of the problem. When she bought the bike they assumed "soccer mom on the bike path only" and never asked her what kind of riding she would be doing. She, being new, didn't know what...

She's still on the learning curve for shifting but is picking it up really quickly. I think she's intimidated by the hills and that makes it hard for her to think about what she needs to do so she...

I do too sometimes but she's bottoming out on hills that aren't even the hardest around. It's getting discouraging for her. Perhaps new gearing isn't the answer but I thought it was worth asking. I...

All of those as well as the rollers in eastern Franklin, Union and Delaware. The 20%'ers are out of the question for now but that is the goal. I just don't want her to give up entirely because the...

Can anybody tell me what they think is the best ring/cassette combo to best approximate the range of a triple on a bike with a compact double? A friend of mine is struggling on the hills we have...

I have had a Pandora account for awhile and one of the things I love about it is that I have been introduced to some really awesome indie artists. So I thought it might be fun for us to list our top...

You guys are not going to believe what I did to solve my cold feet issue. Newspaper! I traced the insoles of my shoes onto several sheets of newspaper and secured them with painters tape. Then I made...

Oh, agreed! But I do think that having my knee, given its anatomical wonkiness, appreciates being aligned properly in relation to my ankle. It takes the stress off of it. However, I do so love that...

Actually that isn't all. About 3 months ago I switched to the entry level Specialized road shoes from mountain bike shoes. The shoes combined with Speedplay X pedals have virtually eliminated my knee...

I just received the Cold Killer pants I spoke about in an earlier post. Although I haven't ridden in them I think they will be awesome. I will be trialing them on Saturday but already think they are...

OT trivia. The "foot measuring thing" is called a Brannock Device. Go forth and educate.

That is all. :D

No I do not! I almost lost 4 toes from frostbite back in the late 70's and I don't care to repeat that.
