are you crazy? i would kill for a DD in madison. our closest one is a good 45 mins away. having come from RI (most donut shops per capita in the world and a DD every 2 miles or so) it's really tough. everyone i talk to around here who has ever lived in new england totally feels the lack of DD pain.

OMG, I would kill for a DD!!! I grew up in New England and the last 3.5 years of living in the birthplace of Krispy Kreme was pure torture (NC)!! I had NO DD's around and a KK on every corner. Then I move to the Portland area and the closest DD is 43 miles away!

Starbucks sucks. At least I've got a Peet's within biking distance.


hipersons - can you get a very small wedge to put under the seat in front of the rack? That's how I have a wedge on my classic and it works to hold emergency stuff that you don't need easy access to all the time (spare tube, tire levers, etc).

Edited to add: you can see it in the photo of my commuter on page one of this thread...

I'm 5'2" and I've been told I have a well proportioned body structure i.e. my legs don't look long but don't look short on me. My inseam is about 29".

The only reason why I got a wedge in the first place was because I thought it would be a good solution to hold my tools and tubes, and I can barely fit what I want in there now, so I don't think a smaller one would work out too well. Thanks for the tip, though.

That said, I have thought about attaching the one that I have to the upward part of my rack right below my seat. I'll have to try that when I get home tonight.

Will your wedge fit inbetween the seat post and the rack supports if you velcro the front end to the seatpost and the rear end to the rack itself? Maybe a bungee to hold the back end into that nice space?
