    Bike Hauler

    I've put analog MTB's in the back of a customer's RAV4. Rear wheel first. The bars can be tricky but it should fit.

    Everyday is Bike to Work Day?

    Yes, when some hoodlum chopped it out of their exhaust.

    Not in any way, shape, or form, at least during the high season. The J1's use it with their scooters, but then they get hit.

    stompandgo's Cannondale Tesoro Neo X Speed build

    Nice. I brought mine back to stock and it is going up for sale. It has too much power for my needs.

    Today's stage was an attack fest in the final 25km. Fun, fun, fun. The leadout trains ate each other for lunch and a very unlikely winner took the stage. Bastien Tronchon, Groupama FDJ. Rated #395 in UCI points. That's the great thing about bike racing. Anyone can win on any day, and no wins are...

    Last Saturday, I did a modified version of the ride I've been waiting to do for a while, mid-Cape to Provincetown. I took out about 4 miles of off-road and stayed on US Route 6 a bit longer, which has a wide unprotected bike lane in the shoulder. Other than the modification, this is the ride...

    I just finished watching yesterday's Stage 9 of the Vuelta. As Ras says, this is the difference when the dominant rider isn't there. Pure, unadulterated racing on an absolutely ridiculously punishing stage. Mas rode a brilliant race. Chapeau. Put the naysayers to rest. Carapaz and Onley made it...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    You do not have to use a quick link on a KMC chain. You will have to make sure that the pin is centered on the link that you disconnected, and that the link isn't tight. If this is not the case, the chain can break.

    I was busy working on the house and watched the replay. I've had a number of bad crashes in my career with concussions but I've never high sided on my face. What a horrible crash. He was clearly punch drunk when he got up, stumbling all over. Concussion, compound clavicle fracture, fractured C7...

    Right. A race is about winning. When the winner is decided 3 days into a 21 day race, it's become officially boring.

    Because you're a Tadej fan. I find him boring and predictable. That may be because I grew up a Red Sox fan living 40 miles from NYC.

    Exactly. What's the missing link? The pressure on the team to support Jonas .vs. Tadej. Great sprint win for Brennan over a formidable Jordi Meeus.
