Bravo. I'm jealous! I was on crutches for almost two months after having a cyst removed from the bottom of my foot. I suspect the time on crutches was also the final straw that threw my back out of alignment and kept me off the bike through 4 months of PT. People who say the govt can run a heal

Rene, I'll see what Michael says...but it looks like the center section of a set of handlebars bolted to the rack. A great idea... Angus On Nov 25, 11:13 pm, Rene Sterental wrote: > Michael, > > Where did you get, or how did you adapt that light holder to the front of > the Nitto rack? I'm on

Michael, Where did you get, or how did you adapt that light holder to the front of the Nitto rack? I'm on the lookout for good/great ways to use lights on the Nitto front racks and I like your setup very much. René > > > > Take a peak http://gallery.me.com/mhechmer/100029 > > > -- You receiv

Congratulations... what a relief. I don't know the circumstances of your injury, but try not to get discouraged if you wind up yo-yo'ing in how you feel over the next several months. (I say this as much for you as me.) I was injured in October 09 and I find that there are lots of times where the
