• Posted in thread: Locking up your bike - Just how paranoid are you? on 04/23/2012 at 6:51AM
  If I can't lock it to something I run the cable thru the spokes to bind it up against someone just riding

  photosbymark; Thanks for the reply. Yes, I go to the doctor for my yearly physical. Check my blood

  Here's my problem. I'm 65 and my resting rate is 71 over 132. They've done away with the pre-hypertensive

  But I did report the incident because of the lack of professionalism. If I had done something to make him

  Some Europeans have more hair than the typical yankee. I'd say it's more a social issue than a sports
  issue. The only hair I've found necessary to crop is the hair-down-there. Bike shorts can really g...

  I don't have a pic to post, but it's a Trek 7.3 touring bike. Back when I road a Diamondback mountain
  bike I found it helped it a lot to take off the knobby tires and put on some lighter street tires....

• Posted in thread: The rush of riding fast(er)! on 09/28/2011 at 6:44AM
