Dang… And, that’s saying something!!!

Has “waitress” vs. “waiter” become passé as well? I’m out of touch (and rather disinterested :) ), so if I still use “actress” please forgive me. :) The fundamental question is interesting though. Since most (all?) of the Romance languages have gendered nouns, are they offensive in some way...

"Give me ankle or give me death." Said to be uttered by Patrick Henry when he toured an Arab country.

Hey, BlackHand, I was just wondering if you’re saying that the employee letter doesn’t have to be open to the public… I’m thinking about when Juiced Bikes closed down a little over a year ago… I don’t remember any advance warning, although it’s always possible that employees knew in advance...

Hi Jeremy, I’ve got bupkus really to add to the discussion except that I’ve been concerned about damaging my iPhone 13 mini since I put it on my bars last winter. No sign (yet) of a problem. Whatever the technologies are that the phone uses for motion-sensing, I, too, hope that riding on the...

Good work, Charge. Was the prior chain popping out gears on you? You sure do use the HaiBike “aggressively.” :D Keep it up.

Sounds like a total win, Chris. Congrats!

As someone who owns a dog that zips back and forth quickly across the path on (yes) a fairly long leash, it is the cyclist’s responsibility to avoid the leash and the dog. I often rein in my dog when I see someone coming, but if someone approaches from behind, they better damn well be careful...

Spoke, that’s great. I’m happy that Aventon has been proactive. I have recommended Aventon bicycles to a few acquaintances as I think they will be a survivor in the ongoing price wars in various classes of affordable bikes. Of course it’s hard to predict. And, since technology doesn’t stand...

Greetings from my daily 20miler turn-around:

No doom bells set off here, Charge. There are far more outrageous things going on in the world to set those off. My leg cramps (and I hope yours) are extremely small potatoes by comparison. :) That’s a real bummer about your cramps! I hope those come under control for you someday, man...

Good thoughts, guys. I appreciate it. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who has these. Fair enough, Jeremy. Whether or not it’s due to riding I can’t say for sure, but I think it correlates for the most part. I’ll have to pay a little bit more attention. ;) Hey, Harry. I don’t get...

Hi gang, I was wondering if any of you get leg cramps during the night when you’ve ridden during the day… On average, I’m on the bike about 1.5 - 2 hours when I ride. I occasionally get hamstring cramps at night (sleeping) which are sometimes a bit shocking and they can takes about 15-20...

Welcome aboard, @GMA52 .

I had one as a child. I loved it!

Tough day to miss, @newts !! Had a gorgeous ride today. Hope you can button up the Gazelle quickly.

My ebike is awesome, Stefan, even if you don’t like it. Can’t argue about my cycling abilities though. ;) And, as for a fancy cassette, I can admire the beautiful metals even if there’s no way in heck I’d spend the money for one. :) Sadly, that is missing tungsten carbide. :D

As promised, above… Fall colors are a bit past “peak,” but the oranges, browns, and especially the yellows are astounding. I’m going to post a little photo essay (below) of one direction — due west — of my daily ride. Right now, I’m chowing down and getting ready to head home. It will be a...

Nothing good.

That’s slick, Chris! Sorry if you already posted it and I’ve forgotten (but pictures from the first page aren’t showing up anyway)… I think you said Di2 is a future for this bike? So, what shifting mechanism are you using for this Deore XT derailleur, and what does the shifting mechanism look...
