    Not-a-'Mark B.'-Report

    Cold and windy days are easy days to talk yourself out of riding. Once you get out there, it's just a bike ride! Funny how a rabbit can make you go above and beyond the ordinary, eh?

    Donor bike arrives...!

    I'd consider the fact that there will be a mess to clean up after the build, anyway..... Be sure to take lots of pics! Mark

    Jen-Yoo-Wine Mark B Report

    On Saturday, myself and a couple other people were supposed to do a century. I was at the ride start location, fully prepared to ride 100 at the pre-arranged time. While there, a fourth person said he would ride with us. Lou is a grizzled cycling veteran for many, many years and an all around...

    is the Silvio built for ultra distance ?

    You haven't really stated your criteria for what makes the ideal bike, in your mind, so it's really hard to comment. I'll take a stab at it, though. The MBB FWD bike is not one that you'll jump on and do an ultra distance ride. There is a learning curve, so I suspect you would dicount the...

    Commute to work

    That one was tough for me, as well. There is a little market with a grill just a few miles from work that make the best burritos... Problem is, I was also downing a pretty good portion of delicious french fries with them. So... I had to cut that business out. My work has a nice breakroom...

    Commute to work

    There are some things about commuting to work by bicycle that are not attractive. You have to get up earlier than usual, you do not have the creature comforts of the car, you cannot make impromptu trips out for lunch. The weather can be spotty, there are people to contend with, both in and out...

    How Low Can you Go?

    I hear you and will make one small observation and let it go. Film cameras are a PITA because they are film cameras. You have to buy the film, which has limited shelf life, which can affect the outcome of your pictures. Then, you get overly selective of the pictures you take because you don't...

    Commute to work

    I am pleased to announce there were no "incidents" on the way to work today! :D It was a few degrees warmer today, too, which was nice. I still bundled up, but I managed to break a sweat! My fingers didn't get so cold, either. I kind of like riding in cooler climes, but it helps knowing it...

    Commute to work

    So, this morning's bike ride to work was kind of exciting. It was only 38 degrees, which is pretty darned chilly for us, this time of year. Normally, we won't get too many days that are much colder than that. I bundled up about as much as I ever bundle up. Skull cap, arm/leg warmers, jacket...

    Pogies

    Leave it to a fat guy.... I thought a pogie was something to eat. Great craftiness, BTW. I feel like such a wuss. It was 38 this morning and I was bundled up like crazy. We won't see too many days much colder than that. Not normally, anyway. What with global warming.... Oh wait, I...
