With regard to puncture resistance, I highly recommend spending $4 on
a roll of one inch Gorilla tape and applying it to the inside of the
tire in the same way you'd apply the now very expensive Panaracer
Flataway. I have it on my Hetres and it's doing a fine job.

Thanks.

There are hotels in older buildings that cater to European tourists in
SF and are in the $100 per night range, which in my experience is
pretty cheap for lodging in a big city. Hotel Rex, Hotel Carlton, Post

Rockridge BART there are s
Here's how I find hotels for cheap in SF--go to Priceline.com and bid
on a room. I've stayed at the Hyatt by the Embarcadero for $100 per
night (less than half the standard rate) and at several boutique
hotels for $85 (again, less than half the standard rate). When you
bid, specify that

Considering they are posting in SFbay, wouldn't it be relatively easy

I think he's quoting new prices, or what he thinks are the new prices,
and not out-of-line for fully-equipped bikes.

Anyone know of a lightweight/microweight long sleeve or three quarter

I'm basically looking for more arm coverage (sun protection) but less

I just picked up some 140 weight shirts from the IceBreaker retail
store in portland. I really like them, nice fit, very light weight,
not scratchy at all. I have had some other items from them for some

SmartWool items
And if you want an alternative-to-hotels experience, try Air B&B:

Lots of stuff for rent in SOMA on that site, which is where the art is.
