    No but I got a Mace canister. Haven't needed to use it (yet), though.

    bikist dog

    I'm sure most readers on this thread have noticed dogs stare at them when they are riding their Cruzbike. I even had a golden retriever do a double-take as I went past him while I was riding off the back of a pace line. But how about anti-recumbent dogs? One of my common commute routes takes...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    What's a good starting point for QXL rings on a S40? Do the settings that apply to a V20 also apply to a S40? Is factory position 4 on the bolt that leads the crank arm a good starting point?

    Recumbent-DF transformer

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Yes, my power output on the climbs earlier in the ride was above my aerobic threshold. But power output during flats and descents was below. For the hill where I ran out of gas I really couldn't put out more than my aerobic threshold; too much discomfort. 5600 feet over the 71 miles. So a...
