... Cruzbikes roasting by an open fire..... or something like that... just don't ask me to actually sing it though. :)

They look like they've been "put in the corner" because they miss-behaved! :)

Hey, I resemble that remark... :)

That is the key to staying alive! Stay on trails, tracks, or indoor trainer, and only hit a public road for an event. I may slide a lot because of flats, but at least I don't have to worry about multilple thousand pound vehicles chasing me down because the driver is too engrossed in sending a...

... of course what they said - but - once you feel like you have a good balance - clip in - and you control will double immediately. Just don't don't put yourself in any dangerous situations until you feel 100% comfortable! That means riding next to or with cars or anything larger.

You're just pedaling too hard Elliot! :) Seriously though - I have no experience with the "new boom" , but from what I can see it uses the same clamp system. My experience has been, if everything else is tightened up nicely, it usually ends up being spokes rubbing on each other.

Does it count if I "watch a video" of myself doing figure 8's, etc, whilst on my KICKR? I can turn the handlebars, but I can lean, like I am turning. Heck, I can even do it no hands! :) (I'll just hold onto my "jungle vine" in case I fall)

Says the guy who built a Silvetta!

Very nice! Rick - looks like you got your winter project now: I'm thinking little servo that you could stop at "any" location so it is "fully" adjustable through the entire range. Let me know when it's ready for a test drive - a "field trip" might be in order. :)

Happy New Year also - Boy it sure looks warmer there than where I am at. Highs today in the mid 30's F. Ride on! Ride safe!

It is a nice BB. You'll probably probably go faster now, plus you'll never have to buy another one! Have fun - snowing here now... Guess I'm on the KICKR for the next couple of months. :)

No problem - happy to help others who fall and scrape their skin off - I wish I wasn't as experienced as I am in this!

I carry a large pail of "silvaderm" - this is used for burn treatment, and helps heal road rash (which is really a burn) about 3x faster - no scab (will need a prescription) Anti-sceptic wipes - buy at Wal-mart Duodurm pads...

All you would have had to do was not flat... and it would have been better! :) ... Sorry you missed the opportunity - but you can always come out with me when I do it! :);):confused::cool::p:D:eek::rolleyes:o_O:)

Latex tubes are supposed to be more puncture resistant, so I just think it was a bad luck - a bad tube. Both Alvin and I looked over the wheel for "anything" that would have caused it. We could not see a thing. Blew out about 1" from the valve on the "inside" side of the tube. It could not have...

Thanks! I bent my FD a little and some scuffs on my Carbon rims. But I think the V is fine to ride again! Probably will not do much here in the mountains of NC anytime soon however - It its not "cold" it's raining! :) Take Care and Happy New Year!

Yes, that was true - thank goodness - or I am sure someone would have played "Another One Bites the Dust" in my honor. I guess you gotta be known for something. :) Like Jon said in another post: I may be know as "George of the Jungle: now... My latest after riding with Kurt (Tarzan) Searvogel...

I'm rolling around on the floor laughing at that one! That is a about right though: Kurt is Tarzan, Larry is George! :) I suppose I have earned it! Here is a short video I took from my phone. Pretty shaky, but you can see Tarzan there!

Maybe that's why I keep crashing? :(

Alvin Maxwell and I made the 12 hour drive from NC down to Tampa on Monday, and rode with Kurt Searvogal (and others) the following Tuesday. I had hoped of getting there before dark on Monday and hook up with Kurt to find out when and where he was starting in the morning as I had hoped to ride...
