For myself, the 650B would be a clear choice. The extra width helps in bad road

650 wheels seem strong. I am heavy and have not had any wheel issues in two

I ride a Bleriot and I am well above 240. At one point I asked Sheldon about
weight and one of the bikes I was buying. He said it was not a problem and I
have not found it to be a problem. I never ride my road bikes "off road" and I
guess I must ride "light." It is also true that I do not do meg
Nice pictures. these pictures of California "off road" look pretty tame. Was
there other, tougher parts that you were just too tired to take pictures of?

tame ride, mostly hiking trails and jeep
roads. What you saw was typical. The most difficult part was the push up the

If I understand the suggestion correctly (I am not an engineer) it seems to me

I have two fixed/single speed bikes (sadly, neither one a quickbeam ). Both
have bolted axles. Rare slippage on one, I got a tugnut and no problem on that
one. Second one, no problem at all. If my wife would let me have a third, I
would get a quickbeam. Jim D. Massachusetts

for a new, silver bike. Not sure how to raise this issue with my wife. Jim D.

My legs are tired just looking at the pictures. My Bleriot will stay in the

The cogs are cheap and easy to install. It takes a while, 3 to 4 rides to get
even minimally familiar with fixed gears. I found it easier to climb but much
harder to spin furiously downhill. It is great fun but can be intimidating in
traffic. Learning to pedal through turns and learning to ped
I think it is within the focus of the list, at least to be aware of it if not
discuss it. I think all bicycle groups should be aware of proposals such as
this, it could pop up in other states sooner rather than later, as states
search for money. Jim D. Massachusetts
