Oh, you won't be hearing from him. He likes to read about himself over my shoulder, but he would never admit that he's a Rivendell convert. He still believes he could go back to his Target bike and it would be no big deal. He will ride to the park and in our neighborhood, but there is no epic bi

Doug, who knows what I did, let me tell you I really did it good. My normally meticulous self really ought to be driven nuts every time I look down and see that misshapen basket, but somehow it has become something of a badge of honor. "I USED that basket, folks! I got my 12 bucks' worth!" I'm

Jon, you're funny! This might be the only time he objects to matchey-matchey. I'm certain he has staked his claim on the crate idea as being totally unique and totally his. I dare not infringe. I use my bike for commuting the boys to school and there's no way that crate would hold up. That sill
