OK -<br><br>There haven't been enough messages laterly so I'd like to start a thread.<br><br>How many have helped advocate velocommuting (is that a word?) And...
Lately I,ve become involved in quite a few projects. Number one on the list is of course, Critical Mass this is possibly the most talked about. Some other...
Good.<br><br>Actually, I was looking for this sort of thing. I'm hoping to see some sort of dialog.<br><br>Also, I've sucessfully shamed myself into something ...
I have been away from the club but am glad to be back. Let me give an update. I decided to really start riding more and more. I rode my bike and really started...
Bummer that someone messed with your ride -<br><br>One idea would be to scan the local paper for a cheap beater. <br><br>Lately, I've been riding a beater to ...
I finally went out and bought another bike, after my first one was stolen. I can't wait to ride it. Right now it is raining in Los Angeles but as soon as it...
Good to hear you got yourself another bike. What kind is it?<br>Oh yeah, I just added another link to the links page. It is one that I have built for a bicycle...
The bike that I bought is a mountain bike. I love it. so far I have not ridden it too much due to rain. But i did ride it at the beach on night and was in...
I recently took my bike to the beach around 11:00 p.m. It was great. the only light was from the street lights, very few people around. Only me and the ocean....
To be honest, I'm just starting to get back into riding. When I was in the Coast Guard we spent a few months in the shipyard in Bellingham, WA and I rode most ...
Sorry, to kick this up again, and I'm new to the club, but I completely agree about traffic lights etc. <br>The restrictions placed on cars are there mostly...
Regarding wether laws should apply because bikes can't do as much damage:<br><br>Probably the best reason is that by ignoring these signs, we can create ...
It's true that cyclists are prone to lapses of attention, and that by ignoring signs we can cause accidents. I'm certainly not porposing a total lack of rules....
I am not sure what rules and regulations your own municipalities or states/provinces require bicyclists to follow, but I will explain here in Washington State,...
I rode in to work for the first time today. Actually, I did a dry run on Sunday, but this was the first time on a work day. It went well, I pretty much had the...
You know, I agree with you. Bicycles should be afforded a 'better' set of rights as users of a roadway. We are putting out physical effort, perhaps for a cause...
That is indeed a hilarious/terrifying story. I try to feel solidarity with other cyclists but I get irritated/terrified when I see cyclists riding the wrong...
Thankfully, not all cyclists are couriers!! :) <br><br>Pedestrians here are pushy as well. I am one of them, I suppose. My room-mate (from the midwest) is...
Excellent! Although I suppose he was proving a point in bikes' favor :)<br><br>As far as insurance, I should note that the city only requires/provides ...
Sounds good Don!! Glad that you found a "bike-able" route. I know that here in St. Louis, at least in the central city, there are generally options that work...
Thanks Karl,<br> Yeah, It's reasonably bikeable. In the afternoon, there is alot more traffic, but that is to be expected. I have a couple more routes to check...
any suggestions on how to repair a crankarm that the pedal has worn the threads out of. My 15-20 year old peugeot road bike dropped a pedal on me today going...
I could only suggest re-threading it. However, if you do need to replace the crank, check to see if you have a bicycle recycler in your area. It will be a ...
I hadn't thought about looking for a recycler. I've been watching for "junk" bikes on trash day next to the curb but hadn't seen any yet. The problem with...
Yes Don, A recycler sounds good. Or maybe a nice neighborhood shop would be able to help with a used crank set or a single crank. I USED to have a shop like ...
I saw that Karl had mentioned an Earn a Bike program in E St Louis. I'm involved with a similar earn a bike in Boston through Bikes not Bombs. Check us at ...
