Yes, it's the "finding like-minded riders" piece that's missing. I know quite a few people who ride, but in terms of their recreational riding, they're either Gran Fondo racing cyclists, or randonneurs. I can't keep up with either sort, but knowing that there are other like-minded folks from Va

Cecily, with your gorgeous wonderful Betty, you don't actually "need" to get over your fear of diamond frame bikes. You are going to have a wonderful bike that lets you do a zillion bike things. If you never ride a diamond-frame bike, so what? I suspect that as you ride your Betty, you are going t

Thank you for that, Pudge. I am going to try to sign up and get my foot in the door at the Rivendell Box Art group. I hope Cecily does so as well, as hers is very cool. I had my Sam redirected to the UPS store and got some raised eyebrows over that artwork in the store. The artwork was a sur
