that's a glib answer, but I often talk to local-to-me folks who order
odds and ends online when I have the same items on-hand at a

Very true, Jim. I support RBW to the extent that it's practical, but I agree
with you about the small items available at local shops. It's true, however,
that RBW does carry a bunch of fairly unique stuff, and that requires a trip

Hi Patrick,
If the "twinging" in the knees is not sharp pain (dull pain, aching is
okay) then I would consider it not great for your knees. However, that
is not from seated high torque pedaling per se. I'd bet the seated
high torque pedaling is revealing a weakness/dysfunction elsewhere in

Yes, I've made my Goals for 2010 official ... or at least I posted
them on our website, which basically means I better follow through

Interesting link. Makes one wonder what the government is thinking

Government thinking = easiest way to raise short-term $$$.
I hope they open up trails. L.A. HAS to become a more bike-friendly town.
It's ridiculous that such a year round cycling city has so many impediments
to cycling (closed trails, lack of lanes, poor public transit, etc).
Thanks for checkin
I'm not talking about bikes here. We all know that Orange is the
fastest color. But I am curious if the pigment in the tires effects
wear and traction.

Hmmm - I've found that I want the light as far out in front of me as
possible, as I can get some nasty glare when I stand and pedal unless the
light is well-shielded from above. I also seem to recall reading that low
mounts are better as it shows road relief closer in than a high-mounted
light.
