    Oh, okay. I wondered what that was all about. Boo on the close passer! That's why we may get a 3-foot law here in California.

    We have a 3 foot law, but you can see what good that does when the drivers don't know or don't care.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    True, what's yet another law in this state. You shouldn't have to legislate common sense.

    OK, here's a tiny taste of MTB on my rigid Rockhopper with 26x1.95 Specialized Hemisphere tires pumped up to 65 psi for the road ride I took before discovering this bit of singletrack alongside the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAI4NIRDE3A

    With my son, I held out 3' and, don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still not comfortable having 3000+ lbs whizzing by me that close. Wish they would have made it more like 5' at least.

    Okay...actually of ME cycling...as opposed to my riding, and filming outwards.

    I recently had a bike fitting of my TT bike (bought used), and DH got me new wheels/tires/cassette for my b'day. I have a race coming up on Sunday, so I'll try getting a few miles on the new wheels before then.

    Bike is a 2008-ish Cervelo P2C. Wheels are 2011 Bontrager Aura 5's. Tires are Michelin ProRace3. Vocals by DH. An aero helmet is on the Christmas wish list!

    Your position on the bike looks great! Nice vertical arms, nice flat back

    Here's one of me climbing Donner Pass Road, recorded by my friend who I went up there with. He made several passes with the camera mounted on the window of his truck. Other times he stood on the side of the road and recorded me riding by.
