Hi Michael, Nice video...where/how was the gopro mounted? I use the same tires on my snow bike in Manhattan. BTW, we missed you at the Spritzenhouse Beer Hall meeting. Anyone up for a redo? Alan NYC On Friday, February 10, 2017 at 1:07:39 PM UTC-5, Michael Morrissey wrote: > > I took a nice s

[RBW] Re: Wrecked my Atlantis

John, Are you referring to "River Road" that runs through Palisades Interstate Park? We ride there all the time, and the riders heading south reach very fast speeds, because they can. I said to my wife just the other day that when riding in the city, the other cyclists have become more dangero

[RBW] Calling Ron Mc for handlebar comparison photo

[RBW] Re: Calling Ron Mc for handlebar comparison photo

Thanks for the info, Evan. I was hoping to see that photo because they all have slightly different shapes, even though similar. Curious about how many others are slowly moving away from drop bars, as I am. For me, its definitely an aging/arthritis/flexibilty issue. But I find that too uprigh

[RBW] Re: Calling Ron Mc for handlebar comparison photo

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have arthritis of the hands and wrists, and unrelated, several degenerated spinal discs. These are generally not too much of a problem and I can still ride 30-40-50 miles but feel the aches and pain after. Bars higher helps the hands, but too upright hur
