[RBW] WTB: A Riv in SF on January 3rd. Also looking for some route tips

2023-12-22 Thread James
This may be a long-shot but I figured I would try. I am traveling to SF this new year and my cousin and I were looking to do an overnight bike trip, leaving from and returning to SF. I have been a long time lurker and poster here, and I am wondering if anyone in the SF area would consider len

Patrick, many thanks for sharing this inspiring video. I have an 85 year old acquaintance who reguarly rides his Joe App When asked how he does it, his reply is "because I do it"! I will hit the 90 mark (hopefully) in 16 more years, so the plan is "to keep doing it":-))) Best, Rich in ATL On

I do. I do bug her. We have Marco Polo so we video message every day, so I’ve had plenty of chances. She is a long-suffering woman, is Roberta. I have a 103 week workout streak on Apple Fitness and maybe I just really want someone else to be on it so I can say, “Ugh, did you do that upper body work

I can ride in the winter, but choose to go only if 35 - 40 degrees or warmer and the sun is shining. Basically, that means going from commuting every day to riding on most weekends, only. Walking, hiking and I'll be starting weight lifting soon. I might get back into yoga. I did love that.

He keeps saying stuff is on sale but not on the website yet. I think he was offering everything to locals first. In his most recent Instagram from this morning he indicates website will be updated soon. In that post he suggests contacting him directly to “make a deal”. I suspect all of this is a bi

Very sad that he is closing. I got to meet him this summer at the Keystone Bicycle (Philadelphia) bike swap and saw the Suzie. Gorgeous! He seems like a decent guy. Much of his stock is on sale, but in a prior IG post he said everything but Rivendell (and another brand), but it's possible he

Therese is a delightful person and a very good rider. I used to run across her a lot in the East Bay and at SFR events, but I don't think our paths have crossed lately. She's also a fair bit more enlightened about gearing than the filmmaker. Her set up isn't perfect, but it's close (IMHO).

That was wonderful. If you move the cursor to the progress bar below the video but not stop, rewind or advance the frame , becomes a profile such as a ride route. Very subtle! That imagery of progress in a person's biography projected as the profile of a route is extremely communicative, I go
