My bike with … Rod! Go find him!

Ok, guess no one has found Rod so I’ll make it easier.

My bike with a forum member whose bike is pulling a trailer.

That isn’t too hard for you all is it??

Couldn’t Rod just post a selfish with his bike and we can get back to playing

Never fear. I’m pretty sure someone will be able to find Rod in the next day or so. Or that he can post a selfie of himself and his bike. If not I’ll revise to make it easier …. but I really think this can be done!

BTWD Afternoon event?

Come by the Bikenetic post in Falls Church. We’re already planning something similar!

Well that’s rather specific. Shouldn’t it be “local bike legend,” “insane hard man,” “veteran courier,” or some such?

Nope. Although all those descriptions clearly fit Rod, I like the idea of forum members roaming the streets in search of the man himself!

Funny thing is I TOTALLY was thinking this on my way to work this morning after I claimed “Lynn”. Just didn’t know when I would happen to run into him. Fortunately, Rod sometimes does pickups in my building and it just happened that I ran into him the hallway as I was going to change out of bike clothes (at 11 am).

We were at the same frickin’ corner! If I hadn’t wasted so much time looking for Janetzko Blvd., I would have beaten you to it.

Yep, I was pretty sure it was going to be a mad dash to that corner! This is clearly why smart phones were created right?

My bike on a street that shares a name with one of our esteemed, albeit injured, forum members. I’m it![

I’ve got a good idea for the next one…

Does it involve your bike by beer?

How do you attach the front rack?

Why would I ever need one of those? I’ve done week long tours with no front rack with no problem. I’d rather go lighter anyway. I suppose if I ever find myself with three months free and a country to ride across I might reconsider but until then no need.

…. official Bike Accessory Guru.

I wonder if I can make that be my forum “type”. I like it much better than “senior member”.

Also, when going to REI take your helmet. Here is why. Many backpacks are too long for us short torso-ed folks. I found that several I tried on felt fine when standing but when simulating a riding position with a helmet on the backpack would hit my helmet and be really awkward. Look for something that comes in torso sizes get a xs/small. Osprey makes a couple that REI sells. Oh and look in both REI’s bike and general backpack section. They seem to spread out the packs a little. Happy shopping!

I’m going to buck the trend here — get a bigger backpack and one with expansion capabilities. Dickie steered me to the Vaude Splash 20+5 and I love it. When the +5 is expanded I have room for most everything. The only time I wish for more space is if I’m forced to carry my laptop. My usual load is lunch and work clothes. The Splash will take a hydration bladder too but know that it will also take up space.

No! You must go ride out the/a canal to find a proper lockhouse. Right now while it is stunningly beautiful!
