[RBW] FS: Schwalbe Marathons 700C X 47mm.

Decided today that I like the knobbie Zeds I have more than these. They measure ~43/44mm actual. 100 miles on them. Pretty dusty from trail use. No tears, punctures. Can still see center seam front and rear. Pics start here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/3598678329/in/photostream/

[RBW] Re: Cops in Orange and San Diego Counties

Yes, agreed. If you're going to ticket someone for rolling a stop, two wheels, four or 18, then ticket all if them. Selective enforcement against cyclists (or Honda drivers in Irvine) is just wrong and based on city politics. Complaints and political posturing is what drives it, and will end it.

They could license the design to someone that could do it though... would be a cool income stream. Cops in Redlands abandoned their bikes for Segways. Apparently Homeland Security $$$ frowns upon HPVs. DE On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 10:38 AM, Jeremy Till wrote: > > A fun fantasy but I doubt Riv h
