I split time between western NC and the upstate of SC, but am also routinely traveling to Atlanta and Charlotte. I picked up a 1987 Schwinn Tempo, paint was basically destroyed, and am considering having it powdercoated. It really depends on whether I can find someone at a reasonable cost. Any...
I have been a winter Texan for the past four years. Riding bike in the Valley has its good and bad points. The weather is generally great, though often windy. Where I am are some paved trails and roads that are decent for biking, though I get a lot of flats due to thorns. Drivers are not bike...
