• Commented on A faithful 30-year old Univega
  Not available? Posh! I bought a nicer, sportier Univega just the other day! I thought Miyata made most of the nicer Univegas, which was just the name an American importer used for his bike brand....
• Commented on Travis Baker is the Master of Fixed
  My mom was born and raised in Sedalia MO. For a dozen years I would spend two weeks of each summer there. It is a poe-dunk town. Not a lot going on there — the only people who visit are...
• Commented on Take a Ride on the Style Side
  @david That certainly keeps the hoodie on my head, but it does not solve the “cold damp air scoop” quality that, for me, is the real problem. Wool caps work better for me. When it gets “really” cold here in...
• Commented on Take a Ride on the Style Side
  On those occasions when I tried to use a hoodie on the bike, the hood acted more like a cold air scoop, funneling damp cool air right to my core. That, or it just blew off my head. So I...
• Commented on Korean Tourist Bikes
  I rode from Arcata, CA to Seattle summer of 2008. You heard me, we rode NORTH on the coast. I was using an old Bridgestone MB-4 that I found in a ditch and rehabilitated. It was two sizes too small...
• Commented on David Byrne Bicycle Diaries: NPR
  That comment begs the question, “What, exactly, is the problem with being alert while riding a bike?” It also suggests, “Are you sure you don’t have to be alert while riding a bicycle on a bike path or protected lane?”...
• Commented on Silca Super Pista floor pump
  i’ve used these several times at various bike shops around town (and the flat fix kit at my work has one) but I’m not terribly fond of them. My Topeak has worked A-OK for three years now, though I did...
• Commented on This is Not Your Father's Langster - Specialized Globe in-depth
  while all the “branding” talk makes me feel kinda sick, the bikes look okay. maybe my disgust is actually jealousy: I want a job designing bikes. for now i just design my own bikes using craigslist and ebay,...
• Commented on And Thy Children Shall Never Know Thy Cable
  is a retro grouch the same thing as someone who doesn’t believe in fixing things that are not broken?...
• Commented on GM Shows Why It Shouldn't Get Bailout - Wrong 2 Wheel Thinking
  this is a Dumb Idea. This particular Dumb Idea is very likely to Fail Catastrophically, if you ask me. Electrically assisted bicycles are probably a better choice for those wanting a alternative to driving automobiles everywhere less taxing than bicycling...
• Commented on And Thy Children Shall Never Know Thy Cable
  i am trying to overcome an urge to fight the future at every step. i will fail, and continue to shift with my Suntour Cyclone MK II while carrying a four pound hardcover book in my bag while listening to...
• Commented on Rain Fall
  i have the whole sequence of these photos on on my computer — riding, hitting the bump, and the very painful looking faceplant. i wish i could find them. my computer is just as disorganized as my life....
• Commented on NY Times Mostly Nails Cycling Changes
  what about people who drive to their ride? i have no qualms deriding those folks, no matter what bike tribe they belong to. even though it is mean-spirited. also, the only cycling that is “green” is commuting, shopping trips, and...
