    Working back into it

    I agree with the above. Why couldn't ratz have all his injuries at once and get them out of the way?

    Hurricane Florence passing through

    I have seen blown over trees looking very healthy. DavidCH is right. Stand it up again.

    You can get a light that fits on the forks. A great way to see the holes and a great way to avoid seeing the overhanging branch, which, if you are really lucky, will give you a face full of thorns as well as knocking you off the bike.

    If you ride in the dark and there are no street lights it can seem like floating in space. If you get a car behind you the road is illuminated from behind and the smallest bumps look huge.

    Today. Just thought I'd mention it. Already happened in Australia.

    Tales of a recumbent newb

    Bull-headed? Can you get a helmet over your horns? Cones for what? For a slalom, or to cordon off a car-free zone?

    Disc brake options / using mountain bike disc brakes

    Suz must have made a mistake setting them up. When I first got disk brakes I was shocked by how well they worked. If that bike had been a DF I would have put myself over the bars. The first disk brakes I had on the Silvio were no good at all. That was because of a mess-up by me. The ones I...

    Bent rim (Velocity Aileron) - ignore, repair or replace?

    I agree with BikeGary. It will have an invisible crack or something. It will just snap, at a time of its choosing.

    My Bicycle Journey - from upright to bent -Part 1

    My Claud Butler had a Brooks suede saddle. When I was 30 miles from home the bolt holding it on the seat post broke. I rode all the way home standing up.

    Road bike vs. recumbent comparison

    I meant a furry fairing. The airflow along the sides of the fairing becomes turbulent. If you put fur on it the airflow remains laminar. And fur is one thing that is easy to obtain in Russia. Just shoot a bear.

    40mph already! The investment bankers on their Madones on the Sunday ride are in for a shock.

    Cycling is the most reliable transport after Typhoon Mangkhut.

    Great video. I like the feathers on your mirrors. What bars are they?

    Are FLO wheels really this slow...??

    Maybe if the horses had rocked from side to side they would have got more power. Can you put a power meter on a horse? Sorry, that is for the other forum.

    Worse than rolling coal.

    Well, hello there!

    Welcome to the tribe. The first brakes I had on my Silvio did not work. People say it is scary riding these bikes downhill. Well it really was for me, especially when the lights changed to red.

    Road bike vs. recumbent comparison

    Why? Is the air thicker there? I read somewhere about a furry surface reducing skin friction. And it will be nice and warm in the Russian winter.

    No ground wave from a horse and cart.

    Are FLO wheels really this slow...??

    I have never ridden in those places where they go on the wrong side of the road. Must be scary. If I go on a biking holiday it will be to Australia.

    Tales of a recumbent newb

    Welcome to the tribe. No turning back - until you learn to do a U-turn in the street. You will be constantly tweaking. When you think the tweaking is coming to an end you will read something on this forum about short cranks which will start off a new round of tweaking. And what about Thor...
