  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: POSITIVE experiences with cycling-related businesses

    This is NOT a thread to rant about everything the businesses you have dealt with have done wrong. Instead it IS a thread to tell everyone about the POSITIVE experiences you've had with cycling related businesses. After all, as mentioned in another thread, when someone has a bad experience with...

  2. Sticky Thread Sticky: Bike Forum - Wall of Remembrance

    I was thinking today about the cyclists who have been killed while riding their bikes, and that I have never seen a "Wall of Remembrance" for them. I've decided to start this thread for those of us who have been touched in some way, by the death of a fellow rider while they have been riding, and...

  3. Sticky Thread Sticky: Getting Serious About First Aid Kits

    I've always tried to keep some basic first aid supplies with me on longer bike runs, but I gave it some thought recently and decided my antibiotic cream and wraps were of minimal value. In practice when I get minor cuts they scab over very quickly and I just leave them be. They heal themselves. ...

  2. Looking at wool cycling jerseys, can anyone recommend a good one?

    I'm looking at doing some world touring and wanted to bring a wool jersey, can anyone recommend one for me? I was checking out the Ibex jerseys, but I don't know anything about the quality, or how they compare to others. Thoughts? (I'm looking for something fairly light, but durable basically.)...

  3. Expalin what the heck cyclocross is to me PLEASE!

    I never heard of it before I started reading these forums and, frankly, I just don't get it. Today, I actually SAW cyclocross in action and I get it even less! Why are these guys NOT using mountain bikes since it is an off-road course? Is a cross bike nothing more than a road bike with kind of...

  6. Centurion Elite RS

    I have heard many different opinions about this bike. Where would it fit in the line up of Centurion models in the 80s? I personally think it is of excellent quality and is a wonderful bike. Would it be considered a step up from the Elite? And is it a competitive(or competitive enough) bicycle? ...

  7. light weight saddle lock

    I often ride not only for fun/exercise but I also use it daily chores. I recently got my first racing saddle and worried that it may be stolen. I admit, I am a weight weenie. I've seen people put actual chains on their bike for the saddle to frame, but I don't want to weigh my bike down. ...

  8. How and why did YOU make the jump frome child to adult cyclist?

    When I was a kid I rode my single-speed BMX bike (a nice Redline) all over the place. It was my transportation and as a young teenager I would probably have been better served with a nice geardd bike, but BMX was the style and that's what we rode. I'm talking 20 miles at a whack to get there and...

  10. Standing while climbing -- does it really help that much?

    So I'm not a particularly strong cyclist. I'm adequate, but I don't do so well on hills. I'm about 40 lbs overweight and I know that's a lot of it, but I don't think it's all of it. So I hit a hill, I shift down and go up the hill. If I push it too hard, I peter out and have to stop as...

  16. Bike Basket for a Furry Friend

    This may sound ridiculous and I am aware that nice walk on a trail is much better for my dogs. However there are days where I would much rather ride and not feel guilty that I have left a furry companion at home. My smallest dog is a mini dachshund and is about 12 lbs. I'm researching into getting...

    What the best vehicle for hauling bikes? Small/mid size SUV with reasonable mileage? Right now I have a Freestar minivan that's great. I removed the seats and and can fit three bikes and three people. Big advantage here is that one doesn't have to take off the front tire on the bikes to get...

  20. You are what you ride - a taxonomy of city bicyclists, from the Boston Globe 7-13-08

    This amusing article appeared in the Sunday City Weekly section of the Boston Globe: http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/07/13/13cibikesart/?page=1 Despite Boston's dismal biking reputation, Sheldon Brown notwithstanding, I think it is one of the best places to ride.
