Cheers.

I've read a few threads where posters ask for advice in "plain English" - and these are sometimes native English posters. How about a thread or forum where essential terminology is explained, possibly with pictures? I know I could have used it earlier, as terms like "rear derailleur" may not be obvious at first.

Check it out. You could not get a more complete source. He also has just about anything else you would want to know about cycling.

He also has an interesting French-English cycling dictionary, as well as French and Russian translations of several of his articles.

Thanks!

I've read his articles, but didn't notice the glossary. Guess I wasn't looking!
