    Flying uphill in Oklahoma on my Silvio

    ^ Charles... For the life of me, I don't know why Ken had me remove Domo Kun from his original photo. ;-) Trust me, if I am feeling cheeky, I'll mess with your photos too. You know, at 40 years old, you'd really think I'd grow up some day.

    Flying uphill in Oklahoma on my Silvio

    looking Good! Ken, That is a really good photo. I am envious of your bike, your roads and your weather. It is a wet and dreary day here in SC. I like your mirror, but I do not have much experience with bar-mounted ones; I have grown to love my Cycle Aware HeadsUp! eyeglass mounted one. Do you...

    Dealing with Motorists

    just a bit sore today I woke to some aches and pains, the worst of which ia a bruised palm; it definitely makes it hard to hold the handlebar. At least nothing was broken. John, I look forward to causing a bit of mayhem. I like being different and getting noticed isn't all for selfish...

    A pain, but not expensive Websites, that is. They can be built and maintained for not much cost, but you are right about it being a pain. Luckily John, Maria, jim and Doug are here to help with their expertise to make certain the customer is satisfied.

    Dealing with Motorists

    Thanks Steve I was able to dust myself off and ride the rest of the way with a smile. A few scrapes on me, but nothing major to be upset about. Thanks for the positive words to live and ride by.

    Dealing with Motorists

    I have lived in many different places and have seen many things, but there are some of the worst drivers here in Columbia, SC I have ever seen. I commute to work by bike and rarely have an issue (except for the pack of feral dogs yesterday) but today I had to take a detour for a medical...

    ^ Above and Beyond Customer Service It's rare that you receive customer service like that. It's not the first time that I have heard about the people behind Cruzbike going all-out to ensure that the customer is satisfied. As for trimming the boom, this is no different than having to cut an...

    Not a Cruzbike, but still FWD - and fast!

    Suited only for closed Suited only for closed circuit courses, the Hachi certainly has its limits. I'd like to take it for a ride, but I imagine the structural member over my right shoulder would probably be an annoyance. Still, it's a fine-looking machine for anyone interested in speed as...

    Potential Conversion - Shogun TRX Mens Mountain bike

    Rename? I used reflective lettering to write Allons-y on the downtube of my Cannondale commuter (used to be a TT) bike. I have children and any kind of questionable reference wouldn't be acceptable at home and since I park my bike in my office, I figured I'd best keep it workplace-friendly...

    ^ That still makes my head spin I have enough trouble reviewing my 11 year-old's algebra homework. I'll leave the higher maths up to people like you. ;-)

    Sweaty back?

    Zotefoams too I've heard good results come from using the Zotefoams product. This product takes a bit of creativity, but some really cool designs are out there on the interwebs.

    Did you ride today?

    Sustainable power output? John, your mathematical comprehesion has far surpassed mine. I don't know about all the figures, but I think reducing the drag is my next big step. I read an article recently about riding in the drops saves 20% of the effort, but I personally have never been...

    Did you ride today?

    4/22 Commute Not as picturesque as a ride through the Scotland countryside, but I got my first 13.5 miles of the week just by showing up for work. alt="Map of My Morning Commute" When I returned to commuting by bike in January, this trip took me about an hour. I can now do it in about...

    My Vendettas

    You know what I'd love? I'd love to have one of these in the unpainted state. I have been wanting to do another one of these finishes and starting with a bare frame rather than having to strip paint would be a real time-saver. alt="Haro Extreme Comp - Painted by Andrew Baloga" I bought...

    Ride to End Brain Cancer.

    What I am saying is... Psychling, You ought to set up a pledge page to try to solicit donations directly to 3000 Miles. I'd like to see the impact that might have.
