According the the interwebs the use of bicycles by the Amish vary according 
to Geography. They are not permitted in Lancaster County but are permitted 
in other areas. 
 
*"The PA Amish church placed a taboo on the bicycle in order to keep youth 
close to home. However, non-motorized scooters are viewed as a compromise 
between walking and the bicycle, and many youth ride them to school."*

You post a lot of questions here but I'm not sure to whom they are 
directed? Me? The Olsen bros? The list? Perhaps a new thread might be a 
better option to get the most helpful responses?

Thanks and actually the photo is not an illustration and there are no

[RBW] Re: Hetres are done.The search continues.

[Iron Rider]

I had a sidewall blowout on my Grand Bois Lierres. I won't be buying those 
again.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hetres are done.The search continues.

[Iron Rider]

In my opinion, the sidewall was not cut. It appears to have delaminated. 
The fibers are layered in cross hatch pattern and the layers separated 
allowing the blowout to occur. There was no brake contact with the side 
wall and no sign of any abrasion or cutting of the sidewall. The blowout 
was not preceded by any unusual impact and (in hindsight) the delamination 
occurred over several miles. (Speaking of which, the incident taught me 
that if a tire starts to develop a once a rotation thump. Stop immediately 
and find the cause.) 

On a related point, one concern with riding a 650 B tire is that it is not 
a standard size and is therefore hard if not impossible to replace on the 
road. If this were a 26" or 700C any bike shop or sporting good store could 
provide a (temporary) replacement but with 650B that is not an option. 
Since this occurred I swiched to SOMA B (with Kevlar) and carry a tire 
patch. No tire is slower than a tire with a blown sidewall.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hetres are done.The search continues.

[Iron Rider]

Another rider gave me one of those and it worked initially. I added the 
duct tape when I saw slight bulge develop and did not want to risk another 
blowout because I did not have another boot and I have over one hundred 
miles left to ride. 

I now carry a couple just in case.

[RBW] Re: Hetres are done.The search continues.

[Iron Rider]

Yes and yes. It is feasible and I do now carry a spare folding tire (SOMA 
B)  which I hope is for a problem that is too rare to worry about. I 
justify carrying the "extra weight" by switiching both tire and tube when 
there is a flat which save a good several minutes and allows me to repair 
the flat and check for the item that caused it after the ride is done. If I 
have to change a flat in the dark, cold or rain or all of the above, 
swapping out everything and dealing with it later is the way to go.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hetres are done.The search continues.

[Iron Rider]

The fix was actually a multi-layered set up. Between the tube and the tire 
I used a Park Took tire patch. However, after an hour or so it began to 
bulge a bit so I wrapped the whole shebang in duct tape and unnattached the 
rim brake. The duct tape really seemed to  keep the bulge from growing and 
I rode a century on the MacGyvered repair.

I had a regular thump thump in a 650 B supple tire. But it went away when

You may want to check the integrity of your sidewalls for any signs of

[RBW] Re: Losing Bike weight vs. Rider weight. Which one more effectively makes you go faster?

[Iron Rider]

I think that reduced body weight makes much more of a difference even lb 
for lb. Even with no change in strength, reduced body weight increases 
strength to weight ratio. Lighter body weight increases VO2Max, i.e. 
results in increased performance.  Reduced body weight also requires less 
calories per mile to move (except on downhills). Reduced body weight is not 
just about the strength to carry the load, it's about the efficiency of the 
engine. The limitation on this is the ability to maintain strength/fitness 
at a lower weight. 

The weight of the bike on the other hand, really just primarily affects 
climbing and acceleration. At a given fixed speed, a 30+ pound bike on a 
flat course can be just as "fast" as  a much lighter bike, In fact, if the 
30 point bike is more aero, it can be much faster!  Case in point - I know 
a guy who rides a velomobile, it weighs a lot (40lbs?) and is slow as 
molasses up hill, but on flats and downhills he is as  fast as even faster 
than pro cyclists on a diamond frame bike.

Think of it this way, who do you think would be faster a pro cyclist on a 
touring bike or an overweight cyclist on a pro bike?

The Atlantis would be fine. In fact. I weigh a little more than you and

Re: [RBW] I took my Homer to the Shawangunk Mountains for a day. (A ride report)

[Iron Rider]

Yes. I think you can ride your own ride even when riding someone else's 
pace. As Deacon, suggested, if you're comfortable with pushing the pace (or 
slowing it down) to ride with others then that is "your ride" for that 
event.  In my experience, riding "slow" to stay with someone when you'd 
much rather ride fast can be as frustrating as riding "fast" when you'd 
rather slow down even though either pace could work under different 
circumstances.  In that sense it's more about having your mind 
(expectations?) and pace in sync.

[Iron Rider]

Jim Bronson is correct. We were following a set route and can't deviate and 
still get "credit." Also, I frankly didn't know about the waterfront trail 
(until after) since we rely on the route designer to set the course.  The 
riders have been giving feedback in the hopes of avoiding this happening 
again. I hear the Niagara escarpment is a nice alternative . . .

Trevor,

I didn't mean to paint all Torontonians with the same brush. There were 
some who were safe drivers (thank goodness) However, the ratio of bad to 
good and the extremeness of the "bad" driving definitely left an overall 
negative impression and a sense that the bad driving was not an aberration.

[RBW] Re: I rode my A. Homer Hilsen on a 600K brevet (a link to a blogpost)

[Iron Rider]

Thanks for all the positive feedback. As for the question as to which Riv 
bike makes the best brevet bike. I think that will change with the rider. A 
rando friend does all his brevets on an Atlantis. I have the A.H.H. and 
I've seen others. I think the bigger issue is the fit. After 200K Fit and 
comfort become HUGE factors that only grow in significance as the distance 
grows.

[RBW] EBDJ

[Iron Rider]

I'm in the third week of a month long "test" of the low carb high fat eating 
plan (consistent with "Eat Bacon Don't Jog.") 
 Some observations: I have  consistent high quality level of energy - no more 
more big fluctuations based on meals.

Soreness and achiness are greatly reduced even though I am getting regular, 
quality exercise (weight training, track intervals, an 8:30 200K ride last 
weekend and an 8:15 hilly 150K this weekend). 
My mood is upbeat - not weirdly happy- just contentedly mellow/ more relaxed.
It is possible to do long rides on less than 30 grams of carbs without bonking.
Oh yeah - I also dropped 13lbs and it all seems to have come from the 
midsection.

True story. No BS. And no exaggeration.

[RBW] Is the Velocity Synergy the only 650b rim being sold for use with rim brakes?

[Iron Rider]

Hi all,

The building of my A.H.H.  seems to be stalling out over rim selection. Is 
the Velocity Synergy the only 650b rim being sold for use with rim brakes? 
And a related question, has anyone built up one of these for use by a 
Clydesdale?  I am well over 200lbs and am looking for a strong reliable 
wheel. Thanks for your thoughts and helpful comments.

[RBW] Re: Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

[Iron Rider]

I ride an A. Homer Hilsen and I weight 240 - 250+ depending on the season. 
I use 38 mm 650B tires and I love my bike.

Funny you should say that. I literally used that phrase several times 
during the ride!

This was my first time below 15. (I some credit to the March 30 Day cycling 
challenge - Now with four ways to win!)  But it was also a pretty flat 
route for a brevet so I don't know how representative the time would be for 
a typical course with lots of climbing.  That being said, I do plan to use 
this approach for hillier routes as well. So I will find out  . . .

[RBW] Re: Pushing the Quickbeam envelope

[Iron Rider]

Nice!  Was it a steady grade over the 10 miles or a series of stair step 
climbs?
