  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. ...

  1. Cycling Hygiene

    Hello BF members. My high school cycling club met for the first time today during our MP. Besides the outstanding achievements of our co-founder -- Ryan Potter -- has made for our Northern California High School Mountain Bike Racing League and the fact that we are beginning a road-race team, one of...

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Here's my stats..... late 40s female but in pretty darn good shape (sadly, running is over for me) . I've been using my husband's mountain bike and can put 30 miles in for fun and I love the workout. But I'm just starting my homework to purchase my own...

    WTF ? Anyone else find the search function useless? I type "Cervelo" and get two hits, you gotta be kidding me? There' s a "What wheels for Cervelo S1" in this forum and it doesn't even show up on the search. I have to wait 30 seconds in between searches after finding the first one is useless?...

  6. Wal Mart Bikes

    Heresey, I know! But, my brother in Albuquerque, whom I am visiting, boujght one a few weeks ago. I adjusted and lubricated EVERYTHING, and for less than $80, it really is pretty decent (for an $80 bike). All the gears shift smoothly, the brakes work, and after screwing the suspension to...

  7. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. Handle bar tape

    Every time I lean the bike up against the wall the handle bar tape leaves a black mark. Is there a kind of tape I could use which would not do this? thanks

    I typically commute 36 miles RT to work by bicycle three days a week, and usually take a weekend ride for fun of about 40-50 miles. I assumed I was a pretty strong rider. My wife recently started taking spin classes at the local gym and I decided to accompany her this weekend. I was...

    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.)...

  14. Help me start my new bike shop

    First off, if you post at RBR, this thread will be redundant. I'm trying to get lots of opinions, though. I'm opening a shop in the next couple of months. There is no bike shop in Greencastle, or in any town within 30 miles of Greencastle. There are only 2 bike shops in Terre Haute, and they...

  18. 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.

  20. Bar End Shifters and bull horn bars?

    I am planning on building a touring bike over the winter, and although many will have their opinions about this, I would like to put bullhorn handlebars on it. I would also like to have bar end shifters. I have no experience with bar end shifters. Is it possible to put them on bull horn bars, or...
