Congrats.
That should tell you how far you have developed as a cyclist if you look at 25 miles as not that much more.
Are you planning on a recovery ride tomorrow? (unless the happened a while ago and I’m just last to the party) That would have
I personally can’t wait till my next ride. So far looks like it will be bikems 2011 but that seems like a really long time away. I’ve got a bad itch.
Were you riding your commuter?
If so did you make any pre ride mods?
If not would you next time?Kudos to you sir for completing your goals.
+1 for straight shavers. (or otherwise inclined)
I’m Portuguese so I grow invasive leg hair and have been shaving it a few times a year just to keep on top of it, since just after high school.I like some of the advice in there that highlights easier cleanup of roadrash. (I can say that part is no joke)
As for doing it the night before a ride, there is a section in there that talks about millions of micro cuts, that your body has to dedicate energy to repairing. You do not need that on your ride.
I think it seems like wicking fabric works better on bare skin.I’ll say it…it feels great. I work in an auto shop…yeah my coworkers have said a few things about it when they see it the first time I wear shorts.
When you do it take your time and use an electric razor first and a new blade (and maybe your wifes’ razor if it’s got a wider handle). If you cut your shin or calf you will bleed like a stuck pig, lol looks like a crime scene.Hey thanks for asking,
She’s healing slowly, the patches kept her from scaring but she’s still pretty sore and has a few bone bruises (shoulder and hip)that seem to be lingering. Her bike is fine…although she has yet to ride it outdoors, but has been consistently using the trainer for exercise during the week. Honestly though we’ve been far too busy (for my taste at least) on the weekends to get back out there, and when we are free it’s been raining. I’m trying to get her into the idea of a small informal organized ride in October so she doesn’t end up getting scared off the hobby.
I’ve already updated the levers earlier, started out a 9 and it’ll stay that way. It’s already a triple, she doesn’t need a 30 speed 27 should suffice….if not I get to buy more stuff.
Nah if that doesn’t work I’ll make some sort of high torque E bike monster, now that is a project I would enjoy researching and building(not riding, lol). bwahahahttp://farm7.static.flickr.com/6182/6049900286_64feda5085_b.jpg
Nice DoF and bokeh!
Most of the decent replacements I’ve had my eye on have a very small wear indicator built into the tread of the tire
This is the closest thing I’ve got nearby currently. IDK why the internet doesn’t have pictures of this but….

I wouldn’t think a crappy Roadmaster would be worth the hacksaw blades to make that cut
That sounds like what whomever in charge was thinking, when they decided to move it.
I’m bike friendly and that would drive me nuts after the third time it happened, I think it’s pretty funny that they left it there just for the lolz, maybe they will want to cash the aluminum (up side of a heavy sled) in at a scrap yard.
It’s still a little sad to see a still usable vehicle (wasn’t really in the bicycle level but close) rendered useless and left out to be mocked by the commuters’ bikes. But it is still there is the owner actually returns.I was in Boston recently and there are bikes everywhere…chained to everything, private property, public land. Maybe the owner thought the two cities were similar.

As I understand it, in DC that would be illegal.
Do you think that applies to the feds though?
I’m guessing for security and aesthetic purposes the fed can find justification to remove the left bike. I would be surprised if the let it sit there for more than a weekend.@Greenbelt 6758 wrote:
According to my bike computer today, I’ve got over 3,634 miles since January commuting.
Impressive. Good work, and kudos on your determination. I envy you.
Your videos and tips thus far have helped many of us noobs.
Keep up the good work.
I personally do not think a mobile version is really needed anymore.
The large car forum I volunteer as a mod for had a large scale discussion on this topic recently. Making something that would work with tapatalk and the other mobile based readers was not deemed to be worth the work needed.Anyone with a semi smart phone should be able to render the graphics here.
I’m running Gingerbread on my HTC evo 4g and the site works great. Posts and edits properly.
I’m pretty interested to see what this awesome group a’ locals thinks
