Here's a brief video from today's ride in France. Saw a nice Atlantis at the start--so far the only Rivendell I've seen, but there are of course lots and lots of Riv-ish bikes. More lugged steel, leather saddles, and fenders than you shake a Baguette at ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCNpmW

No disrespect from me either, but citing a vegan as an example in a "what would Taubes" eat thread is funny to me. I've never been an over-excerciser. Every time I stop drinking beer and ride my bike as much as I like, I drop down to about 200 lbs (which is good). I'm at 240 now, and just started
