Probably don't work for everyone but I use
Brooks<br>Leather Saddle. They are fairly expensive, sometimes hard
to find and do require "breaking in" but I prefer a
saddle that (finally) conforms<br>to me rather that me
needing to conform to it.<br><br>My saddle preference
shows my age and I know many<br>riders who have found
"modern" saddles that work<br>for them--I do not know
which are best tho. (Usually the "thing" that initially
comes on the bike is the worst posible solution
tho.)<br><br>Colorado Cyclist and Preformance Elite have both<br>sold
the Brooks via mail order/web in the past.<br>Harris
Bicycle (see link I added to our club list)<br>also
claims to have some Brooks saddles.

Friend just uses daypack--not backpack. She uses regular bungie cords. Have you looked at those<br>folding cloth baskets that fit on rear rack? (Sized to hold...
Great web site!<br><br>Hm. The folding bag sounds cool. But there's also a mesh thing that goes over whatever you've got on your rack. Mebbe that's the ...

I survived it! Barely. But not from traffic -- BOY am I outta shape. For the last mile, I only kept myself going by trying to remember which street names came...
Congrats Natalie!! I am pleased to hear that it went well. The earlier starting time could be<br>better--we had "flextime" where I worked and I<br>tried to ...
