My Phil Wood hubs will be passed on to my kids.... Sad, but I wouldn't mind going out after making such a big impact in the bike industry.

An a-hole is too nice a word for these types. Fridays are bad days to be on a bike, but as of late on Sundays I now tend to be extra "carfull". I just don't get this aggro stuff.

wow ... swoonies. Being an ex motorbikie, I seriously wanted a Ducati pushie ( :P ) in red when I first saw them. Now I want a Beemer pushie. If they're anything like their motorbike cousins, the Ducati will have crap electrics (hah!) and the Beem…

Cold sweat about bicycles moment.

I like a few other syd-cycs will be building up a bike.

I have bought the frame and thinking it should be a nice fun bike, and somewhat "cooler" than what I would normally ride.
BUT on the morning ride to work, I had a cold sweat moment...
Should a man my age be seen riding such a cool bike?
Can you have a mid life crisis which has nothing to do with sports cars but all about bicycles?
Will my just turned 13 daughter think her dad is a dag riding a bike which any 20 year old would love to ride… Continue

07:45-ish on Wednesday. No other vehicle involved. She still has a bit of worry about "slowing the traffic down" so made to move off onto the car park bit and did not notice the lip (which had gone by Thursday am) until she hit it at too an acute angle to get over it.

Hi baa, Baa, its a great idea, but I'm so busy I could not do this. Why don't you do it and I'll leave lots of comment. Have you looked at my movies on E bikes, by the way?

Thanks for the link that is really great.

Am currently in England on holidays and the cold over here has lead to me thinking up all kinds of changes and new products we can do to help better in the cold. Have just be testing my wool cashmere winter cap to hold out the winter chill and drizzly rain and finding it works quite well.

Thanks again

it was .. shock and gasp... the brake bridge on a road bike. it fell on me whilst leaning agianst a bench.

it does not hurt, but I am not allowed to get it wet or run about... but I can still ride gently.. no shaking.

Thanks for the well wishes... I can take the bandages off tomorrow

Chooks are good as long as you don't want a garden. Ours were bred by the Soviets and operate on the scorched earth principle. They are also bloody Houdinis, always escaping from their enclosure. The daughter likes them though...

Nice chook. Yours?
