Okay, but they still have group sex tents. I don't see how that grit could help.

With hockey helmets! Some are high-powered executives. I made a bike for a little person today. It was a surprise from her cycling husband. She was crying, she was so happy, she could out-climb him on his 29'er Santa Cruz on huge hills.

@ChezCheese:) I do not want or need a big sister. If you want to hit ignore that is up to you. Originators of threads launch them but do not control them or own them. You can choose to ignore me and still comment on the threads I have originated in anyway you want. Creative people should never...

I did not have the lockrings attached. They did not need to unplug them. Just pull up and they undid themselves. But who would want to drink from someone else's water bottle anyway? They did have rubber nipple valves attached to their tops with Permatex.

If you ever suffer from Freudian envy you can use this anytime to placate it. It is really to hold open books, hands-free so you can do things while reading, such as eat. It weighs down the pages while accommodating the contours of a book. It is great for outdoor reading in wind too.

I buy and use automotive brake parts grease on many things such as pedal threads and inside nylon geared motors. It is high-temp silicone grease but not in a little tube and not food-grade like Plumber's grease used on the O-rings of kitchen faucets. I am doing FlatOut five or six times per...

I needed to mount a 90mm round battery for a little person's bike today and came across this water bottle cage. There is not much room in the triangle to remove and reinstall the battery. Because this cage expands and tightens, it accommodates bottles of various diameters and locks them in...

Cool. That is great information @Nvreloader ! After I use FlatOut I clean the inside of the stem with Qtips and then use silicone grease inside the stem before reinstalling the core. It prevents the FlatOut from clogging the valve open.

It looks like she is doing over 120 miles today. And with higher speeds.

Terra the little person picked up her bike today. She arrived with her husband at 11 this morning. He did not tell her so it was a surprise. They left at 1:30. We went over the bike then went on a big test ride in the hills. She kept crying. She was able to out-climb her cyclist husband on his...

I experienced those in Joshua Tree. Nasty effers. It seemed like an evolutionary strategy. It is almost as if they want to kill you and use your rotting body to feed their babies.

She is crossing from W. Virginia in to PA now. https://trackleaders.com/gawr26i.php?name=Patrice_McDonald

On dirait du pain grillé brûlé. It is toast.

I was rolling one down a hall after testing it in the stand. It leapt up in into the air, climbed a wall, and flipped back on me. My instinct was to hold on tighter but that was what was making the throttle twist more as it went higher.

@teskow, How about jumping cholla? If you give it the side eye, it will jump and attack.
