Ariel, you've got a cool Platypus! Thanks for sharing the bike photos and
images of the ride in your new area. I sure like the touches of orange and
gold on your bike!
I guess the PlatyPose photo "throw down" has been issued, so I'll get busy
with the camera.

Joe, I love this "All-Rounder" idea because they're all such versatile
bikes. Actually, most people don't seem to care what I'm riding and
frankly, I don't care what they think. If I'm riding and having fun,
that's what counts. My bikey friends are very good at "oohing and ahhing"
with me ov
Patrick,
Here's an Ortlieb shopper I spotted this morning on the Seattle Craigslist:

Lots of good advice here! I use much of the same techniques and have my
favorite "go to" stuff from cross country skiing and several years of bike
commuting in Denver. It doesn't get as cold in the PNW but here's what I
like when it gets cold:

Hi Linda! I have used many different saddles over the years including

Wow! Patrick, that's a lot of weight. I carry groceries with my Clem, but
never that much. Bravo to you!

This is such a tough choice! I love both Clem and Platypus, but if I could
have only one, it would be my mermaid Platy because it is elegant, agile
and tough enough.
Speaking of Clems, I was disappointed mine didn’t come with the Clementine
name sticker. When I called to see if I could get m
