    you know you love cycling when you've spent more on bike clothing this year than you have regular clothing for the last 3 (at least) years!

    you know you love cycling when you find yourself at a party and you start talking about bikes to everyone you meet.

    and finally
    you know you love cycling when someone sends you an email of cute nude guys (backsides) and you are disappointed because their legs look soft and flabby.

    for six tanks of gas you could have bought a bike.

    I saw someone on the road the other day that made me giggle.

    He was driving a Mazda Miata with a road bike on the back. The bike was longer than the car was wide!

    It just made me wonder, when he got to where he was going to ride his bike, did he just strap the Miata on to the back of it??

    So, for those who have fork mounts, etc., for use in the back of the car, would you mind posting pics or giving me an idea of where to look for these? I need something like that, and a bike stand that can be used to keep in the car and garage.

    It turns out I have a great car to put my bike in... a Honda Odyssey. It fits perfectly.

    I just need something to stabilize the bike while driving!

    Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
    It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
    But you don't listen. You just push harder.
    And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
    And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

    crud! i was going to post my pics but i can't get to the mdx site to get them!

    i can post them tonight (unless the site comes up first! lol)

    anyways... we use the saris traps... you can use just the fork mount bolted to the floor... but we got the track... and added 2 fork mounts and 2 wheel holders! the track is bolted to the floor (actually the door of the little gin in the floor) and then the 4 pieced slide along the track to get positioned!

    nice looking and neat!

    plus the 4 pieces are removeble and you just have a practically flat "track" there... (we take the wheel ones out whenever brie is in the back!)

    Then you buy the fork mounts separately?

    that's it!!!!!!!!!! yep... you buy all the pieces separately!

    (we have ours reversed of the pic... tires on the outside bikes in) but that's one of the nice things... they are moveable! unlike the fork mount only in the floor... THAT's the spot! with this... if you need to.. you can reposition the bikes... remove the thingy's! etc!)

    i'll still post the pics if you want, after i get home.... so you can see how it looks in the vehicle!
