Fog I run away from fog, I'm frightened by fog. One day, riding in the Central Valley of California, I rode into a fog bank. It looked pretty diffuse, from the sunny side, but inside? It was solid, dense, quiet fog: "tule fog". I stopped. Looking, I saw nothing but six to ten...

Seat Recline and Your Back As you may or may not know, I've built two custom seats for my bike. No, wait, that's untrue: I've built two custom seats to fit my back. The first seat -33 degree recline- I built was modified to fit my back, evolving over a few years of constant use. It...
