I ride alone most of the time. I have a cell phone now, but that's new this year, and mostly in case something worse than a flat happens. I'd like to get one of those RoadID thingys - right now I...

If you've got two years, and you're already up to 26.27 miles, I think you'll definitely be able to do a century by the time you're 40. I agree with everyone who said 'just listen to your body', and...

I would start out a little slow, for the first 10-15 miles maybe... allow yourself to get nice and warmed up, then just go at whatever pace feels comfortable. If you already did 47 miles, you should...

I got the silver/gray Avenue (women's version)... it's a little bit funny, because I recently bought a road bike that is also silver... so I have a very small fleet of silver bikes with black accents...

latelatebloomer - much excellent advice above, and sending positive vibes your way ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~

you'll be back to your blooming in no time...

Wendy - I really liked this...

I recently tried to get a used hybrid for a commuter, and found that going used wasn't worth the time and effort involved. Seemingly, no one can ever tell you the frame size in advance, and you end...

Just chiming in to say that body fat scales are indeed not very accurate. The ones you stand on send a current through your lower body only, so if you're like many women and store your extra in your...

Well, I ended up not going for the Cannondale - it was a bit too small of a frame for me to start with, and then there was rust and it was definitely going to need some other work, too.

I got...

I was going to post on the "What kind of MTB do you have?" thread, but I don't have a MTB.

I just had my first off-road experience this weekend, and I was riding a Bianchi Avenue hybrid... ;)

Hi all,

I've been shopping for a used hybrid to use as a commuter, and I've got a lead on a Cannondale H800 from 1996 - apparently not used very much. It's a bit older than I was hoping to find,...

I'll put in a good word for the Volpe. It seems like a great bike for a reasonable price, and I found it a comfortable and friendly ride.

(I got seduced into buying a much more expensive and less...

Feeling the collective pain...

:(

And hoping that '10 more days of rain' forecast is just... wrong.

Maybe I should finally invest in a trainer...

:( :( :( :( :(

I am bumming, the forecast is just so horrible. It looks as though, if we're very lucky, it might stop raining on *Wednesday* for a while!

Weather gods - it's APRIL...

Dear rain clouds,

Can I ask that you stop weeping over the greater Providence area for at least a couple hours on Sunday? Perhaps starting around noon? It's been a very dull week, and I want to...

O my!

So very sorry about your beautiful bicycle... and so very glad your head didn't get the same treatment!

Heal fast and be well...

O boy, I was worried that I was going to be out of luck since I was so late getting my registration in... but I got my confirmation today.

I'm rider #1775, so it looks like I just squeaked in!
...

I am definitely still in the honeymoon stage - I absolutely love my 2006 Sequoia Elite! (She is sitting in my office right now giving me puppy-dog eyes and asking when we can leave work, actually.)...

O boy, I hope you JUST got that email, because I just managed to remember my registration form *yesterday*!

Ack!

*crosses fingers*

I'm planning on doing TFCE as well this year - I almost did it last year, but ended up at a wedding 200 miles away the evening before, which kinda got in the way! ;)

I've biked around where they...

If it's going to nag you, why not call/email Cateye and ask them what the setting would be? Or if it's possible, enter the tire size manually?

(Otherwise, I agree, little variations can add up...

I think strength-training for women is a really great idea - whether to improve cycling performance, guard against bone loss, boost metabolism, or bring in the groceries.

I was just researching...

I really enjoy having a computer. I love watching my average speed increase every year, post-winter, and knowing how far I've gone. I also like to ride routes I find in books, which are usually...

Thanks for the input, everyone!

I decided to take the plunge, after trying a couple more bikes. I kept remembering how great the Sequoia elite felt, and nothing else seemed nearly as good a fit....

I did actually search before I posted.

I didn't see too much of an in-depth review, just a couple of positive comments, and one not so positive, but thought I might've missed something.
...

I tried this bike today and really liked it... but I only rode for a few minutes.

If anyone has one of these, could you let me know how it feels after the test ride? (Or point me at a previous...
