A car deliberately swerved into the path of a cyclist, hitting him/her and knocking him/her into a ditch. After the car hit the cyclist, its driver flipped off the cyclist and kept driving. Another day in the nasty city, right? Yes, but maybe not all is lost, because the driver of a car directly...

Just looking for some suggestions. I've busted my rear wheel and need a good sturdy replacement. I'd like a 36 spoke, and I run a 9 speed cassette, and 32 x 700c tires. I don't need the best, but something that wouldn't break after one season of commuting. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Looking for suggestions here; I need some pointers to some of your favourite "long" or "epic" rides, long climbs preferred. I live in the Okanagan Valley in southern BC, about a 4 hour drive north up highway 97 from Wenatchee. Pretty much anything in Washington, Oregon or Idaho is an easy...

SPOKANE - Fish Lake Trail - how goes the new trailhead? @@@ Been a few weeks since we had news and pictures of the start of construction of a new trail head at the north end of the Fish Lake Trail by I-90. Any Spokane-area riders want to update us on their progress? When can we park up...

So I'm leaving Corvallis and moving up to Longview in a few weeks for an internship at Longview Fibre. I was wondering if anyone in the area had any advice -- experiences, bike routes, stores, riding clubs, et cetera . . . I was a little apprehensive when I saw signs saying something to the effect...

You can view the segment here: http://www.opb.org/programs/ofg/segments/view/1728 It was a lot of fun, Brynwood was difficult to walk up let alone ride up :eek:. Just out of curiosity what are some equivalent rides in other places, Seattle maybe?

I love the luxury of riding on our Eastern Washington roads - courteous drivers and not very many of them which provides the chance to use a lot of the road. But, today I had to dodge fresh cow crap from the local cattle drive (gotta clean up the bike now), a herd of goats with their 120+ pound...

..so I went into the garage out of boredom and made a CUSTOM light mount for my LWB. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/corseben/IMG_4071.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/corseben/IMG_4078.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/corseben/IMG_4071.jpg ...

This past Wednesday my father and I were returning to Bellevue fron U-Village via 520 and were both surprised when we saw a guy riding his bike in the eastbound lanes. Crazy enough that he was attempting to ride across 520, even better was the fact that he wasn't even wearing a helmet. I've lived...

How bike friendly is the Astoria Bridge...i.e., metal gratings, narrow/no shoulder etc.? I'm considering spending a few days at Cannon Beach and thought I would include that in one day's ride. Any other suggestions for that area?

Hey, going to be down in Seattle WA next month for a few days. Looking for some help in finding a good hotel near lots of bars, nightlife etc. We're going to the game, but it doesn't matter if we're downtown or near the stadium or not. Stayed downtown about 8 years ago but don't, uh, really...
