    Around the north end of Lake Washington Longest in quite a while. 35.5 and about 1,700 feet of gain. Along the Interurban Trail and then east to the Burke Gilman Trail. Along Waynita Way into Kirkland. The Kirkland Connector Trail which has a few miles of gravel. Northrup Way to the 520 Bike...

    The only thing I change is bike computer batteries and that is not always simple! ;)

    Is that a picture you took or from an advertisement? How does one balance that load. If one of those kids is a bit less disciplined and starts leaning.....

    Following up regarding 2022 Como 5.0 defective fork

    Give it up and DEMAND a refund. Or charge them a monthly rental fee as you would pay if you rented a bike from them for three months and counting!

    I really like Schweinshaxe (ham hock). On one trip, I found one in a "fast food" deli type place. Pre-cooked. Brought it back to the hotel room and tossed it on the heater. My roommate was not impressed!

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Probably somewhat easier than fiddling between the legs/crotch playing with the tube, ahem, top tube!

    Abus Granit Xplus 540 U-lock experiences?

    Good luck. I have so many locks and frankly don't really trust any of them which is why I have so many: "This one might be better, no this one, no that one....." I have the Abus Cafe on my Creo but generally don't leave it alone. A coffee shop about three weeks ago as I stepped into the...

    I like your experiment. What I have not ascertained is how it responds to approaching vehicles if you have it on BLINK mode. Blink uses a lot less battery. I know when the light is set for solid, it will blink to help alert rear approaching traffic. But if it is already on a blink mode, I...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    I presume that the EXTENDERS are threaded to match either Left or Right pedals? But as I found with my Creo after a bike shop screw up (no pun intended). They had accidentally reversed the cranks which reversed the pedals and I think would also reverse the pedal threads meaning that they...

    ABUS frame locks for Vado/Como have arrived (and they fit/work!)

    In my paranoid dreams. But pranks do happen. Although, if I recall I can leave the key in anyway. Frankly, I'd always preferred combination locks since there was no key to lose. I would always keep my cable-combination locks locked so that I could only use it if I remembered the...

    ABUS frame locks for Vado/Como have arrived (and they fit/work!)

    Key removal model. I did not want to worry that while stopped briefly someone could engage the lock and leave with the key. I added a stretchy lanyard and have a snap hook inside a burrito handlebar bag where it resides. I also have another stretchy band that I place over the hoods on my Creo...

    I literally dragged my body to the pass yesterday. Boy am I out of shape. I've actually climbed Sahale and been up Sahale Arm three or four times - an endless climbing meadow with little rills and flowers and marmots that stops at the glacier. And a toilet with a view to end all views!

    Yup, just me and my friend and about 10 million others, both day hikers and backpackers. For those who bike ride gravel roads, this is one rather intense 20 or so miles of gravel but you would not want to bike it - the dust would fill your lungs as the 5 million cars and pickup truck pass. And...
