Hi all,
I would love to try metal fenders again someday.
My first year of bike commuting in NYC was the first year of CitiBike (NYC
bike share). My commute, from Park Slope, Brooklyn to the Garment District
in Manhattan, was just over 45 minutes each way. After almost a year, I
bought my own bike

I would assume you're correct about an outgoing email problem - I
called recently and talked to Grant about a fender fit issue, so
they're ready and willing to help via phone at least!

That's terrible to hear about curt responses! I've emailed with Roman
about film and photography, with Grant about diet, and with anyone who
will answer about orders, fit, etc. I understand that it's difficult
to call from Australia. I have work colleagues there (I'm in Brooklyn,
NY) and we obvious
Sorry coming to this thread late but is there a problem with Ortliebs? I
commuted for several years with two Ortlieb panniers and they took seconds to
mount and take off. I’d walk into my office with one over each shoulder every
day. Unfortunately for my bike habit, I work from home now.

With names like "Homeless" and "Stemcell," I wonder why we don't see
more of them on the roads here in the USA? :)

Hi all,
I made a donation and then posted it to Facebook with a description of
the campaign - a kind neighbor made a $25 donation. Just an anecdote
to counter what I used to think, which was "no one is going to donate
if I link to a GoFundMe page about a cause that's so far away." Not

I have the Bodum burr grinder because I found it on sale. It's not the
best, but it works. A couple drops of water on the beans before
grinding will cut the static. I have a cheap ceramic burr hand grinder
for when I travel.
Agreed with all here - buy fresh roasted (or roast yourself) and keep
it i
Ah - the slow grind eliminates the static build-up! That's my problem
I'll bet - too fast. I will bookmark this concept.

I have many friends who roast their beans in a hot air popper. They're easy
to find at thrift stores, too!

Regarding buying so much coffee that have to store some for three months:

I don't know if this helps, but I bought the Tern/Xtracycle Cargo Node
via Kickstarter in 2016, and it's great. I love it, and my 8, then 9,
then 10-year-old passenger on the back loves it, too. It is not
electric, but it has a dyno-hub and front and back lights. So if you

Great point on the accessories, William. My Tern/Xtracycle Cargo Node
came with the Tern Kanga rack on the front which is extremely useful. I also

I'm sorry, what is "too many bags?" I'm not familiar with this concept.
