Greetings, I relocated from Portland Oregon to Hartford Ct. As many folks know, Portland is a great place to bicycle. I have participated in many activities...
I have used my bicycle for commuting for several years. At one time my commute to work was 8.5 miles one way, but most of the time it was around 5 miles one...
Hi, A friend recently gave me a flashing light similar to the kind that is rear facing on most bikes, but this light uses light green LEDs. I thought I'd use...
Not knowing whwere you live, it is hard to say if it is legal or not. You might check with your local police. Even if it is, I've never been bothered by the...
I use those on the front of my bike in Pennsylvania without any problems. Of course I also use a headlight, I use the blinky upfront as a supplement light or...
Thanks for the suggestion about the Carradice seatpack and the Peter White Cycles site. Both look very interesting. I believe that, even with the largest of...

I use two red flashing led lights (standard Bell type) in front and two in back. Plus a single strobe light in front. I have not had any problems with the...
Hi, I carry my laptop to work along with the gear for it. I did start out with a backpack then went to the panniers that I had in my closet. One site said to...
I always put a garbage bag around anything I want to keep dry in my panniers. I haven't notice a lot of moisture in the bags but I do it just to be safe....
To keep things dry without spending a lot of money, I use trash compactor bags. They are much thicker than regular garbage bags and they don't wear out too...
Hi. I'm a new member, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a bicycle commuter from Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada who travels approximately five kilometers to...
Thanks John. What a great story. I share your understanding regarding many drivers. We must remember the considerate ones just to maintain perspective. I'm...
Rack and panniers, definately. Putting that much weight on your back while riding does a couple of bad things. 1) Raises the center of gravity enough to...
... Nice bike. You inspired me to post a couple of pictures of my recumbent (under "bent pics"). I'm not very good at finding my pictures, so these arent'...
... Nice bike. The only thing I don't like is the color (no offence). My favorite color for a bike is red, personally, and it just so happens that the CCM...
... Actually, although the Riot's tires ARE knobby, they have a variable pressure range: 65 PSI for road riding and 40 PSI for off-road. When at 65, only the...
... I don't particularly like generator lights. I prefer battery powered which will operate at all times. I find if you use titanium technology Energizer...

... Nope. It's "tire." The only place I've seen it spelled "tyre" is in Britain. Mind you, other than "tire," Canadian spelling does tend towards British...
... I have done that one by car, but I have yet to do it on a bike. My first trip to the Maritimes (1981) evolved into a trip to Newfoundland. I travelled from...
... Same here. Though I have often wondered what it would be like to do it by bike... John A. Ardelli Owner/Moderator BIFIDA-L: The Original Spina Bifida...
... I've been to Nova Scotia quite a few times, but I've never done the Cabot Trail (by bike or car). The places I do go when I'm there don't seem to be the...
FYI...It's from a radio show called "The Science Show" http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/ockham/stories/s957350.htm and is also in Real Audio (however I can't...
I want to get a headlight for winter commuting. Purpose is not just to be seen, but to see the road well enough to ride at a reasonable speed (say, 25 mph...
