    how to park the Silvio

    any suggestions on how to lean the silvio up against a wall without it twisting and turning. I've been laying it down on the ground and folks give me the evil eye, but my logic is better to gently lay down than have bike fall down. I have a hard time controlling the front of the bike when it's...

    garmin odometer

    so now I'm moving on to getting a new odometer. I had a new one put on the bike when I bought it and I hate it. I think I'm going to go with a Garmin, been researching the edge 200 and edge 500. Does anyone use either and have any advice? Thanks, Raine

    Mounting Radical Bags to back of seat

    question at the risk of sounding ignorant, there's no way the bag will rub on rear tire? Looks like you can get a lot of items in a bag that size for a long distance trip. I can also hear the pitter patter of fellow riding mates shoes as they make their way over to ask you to haul this or that...
