Me: Riding to work as usual.
Everyone else: Being complete a****les.When you say complete, does that mean all 19 aPOSTles, or were you referring to aRTICles with an abstract and reference page?
,,,,sorry, feeling terribly crosswordy today.There was only a handful of riders today, but I went the less traveled back way rather than my normal MV and Custis, which can be challenging.

More from 25th Street and S. Hayes St house:
That is around the corner from me, and we hit it every year. It is great mob scene on Halloween. It always turns into an impromptu block party.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]3858[/ATTACH]ParticipantLoves snakes on the trail. Just tonight I saw a wonderful juvenile northern water snake on the WOD near 50. I am kicking myself for not catching it, but water snakes are real biters. They also have a anticoagulant that would have caused a messy ride home, not to mention they musk like crazy,,, damn I should have grabbed it.
ParticipantAlso, the guy on the classic red and yellow Masi Gran with the down shifters, way to dust me with an awesome bike!
My brother has that exact bike, and one of our holiday get togethers when he is not looking, it will be missing from his garage!ParticipantFor you speedsters doing the Freshbikes/TNR loop, the corner of Westmoreland and Williamsburg is loaded with gravel, much more than yesterday, so take that corner a tad bit slower. Not that I am a speedster, but i almost wiped-out doing my normal commute in.

Must have opened it ten times,,,,I can’t, ,,,but look at those chrome stays,,,,and those lugs,,,must resistParticipantYea, discs would be the best move, but my cross train already left the building, so I have to make do with what I got.
Did you have any problem with the mini-v’s and fenders?ParticipantI have cantilever brakes on my cross bike which I have been riding in this bad weather. For me it is not the pads, but I can’t believe how bad cantilever brakes are comparatively. I need to adjust them every 3-4 rides and they scream like a banshee. During this rain, I had to press them down to the metal. The pads are fine on mine, it is the constant adjusting that kills me.
Road design brakes are much more efficient and practically stop on a dime through telepathy.Participant@rcannon100 66469 wrote:

Wish I had one of those amphibious San Fran Bicycles!
I saw that and was wondering, are we required to do the, “Turn around, Don’t Drown” rule, or can we go through it screaming ‘Weeeeeeee’ with our legs up?
Because the latter happened.October 12, 2013 at 11:31 am in reply to: Bike Arlington Presents: BikeSwell The Movie – Oct. 10th – Cinema & Drafthouse #983497ParticipantAwesome job! Keep up the hard work.
After watching that, I have no other choice than to go for a ride in Arlington!Participant@rcannon100 64195 wrote:
And after a while, I notice that the yellow tops…. were not so yellow anymore. They had developed black smuck. Not sure if its mold or what. ]
And this why I only buy black top water bottles. I wish I was joking, but I just rather not know what is happening under there. My bottles are covered with grease and dirt and get cleaned less than my chain. Sure my water has a more rustic flavor,but after slugging down a Gu anything tastes good.

Not to be picky, and a geek, but it was Vadar’s right arm that was,,,well you know, but other than that the argyles pull the ensemble together.Participantgreat info! can’t tell you how many pinch flats i had until I started inflating my tires properly. The classic two snake bite holes was a dead give away to my low tire pressure. I been having very good luck with Bontrager Hardcases. Knock on wood

Ok now, that is just plain showing off. I would have needed a green screen to do that! -
