Large parking lot works well. Image 2: Crazy Ivans to practice 180 reversals at speed 15mph+ average. Small...

    Make me sell a bike

    Ok this is something I've debated for several weeks. We are heading into the snow season; which means we'll soon be on the Trainers for months on end. Meanwhile many of you are heading into the prime riding season. We have dedicate Silvios for those so some bikes will get no winter love. Next...

    Just a fun little report for today. Took the kids to the Tour de Tonka in Minneapolis burbs. Since they would be riding Quests at somewhat reduced speeds that's also the bike I took. So I spent most of the day with the B level DF riders passing them doing 20+ up hill while they struggled to do 9...

    It's been far to quiet in our Garage lately.... So the building of Mrs Ratz's Training bike has begun and the Slivickr is about ⅓ done. Clean up the rusty bolts just like in the Quickr thread; paint and vanish; dry with hair dryer to save time. Bang on frame with Mallet (required step); install...

    Don't Snicker at a Vendetta

    I don't normally chase DF riders; not really fair to race someone that doesn't know there is a race happening, and I ride solo and they ride pace lines, apples and oranges. But this guy actually laughed at the bike while I was at the rest stop and since I had 60 miles in my legs already I...
