  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: Helmets cramp my style: Part 2

    My first impression was that the (Spring Airheads...Helmets Cramp my Style) thread was simply shut down. :wtf: and I couldn't get my fix :twitchy: but after I got up off the floor, I could see and understand that a 6 year, 200 page discussion might pose some logistical problems for the...

  3. Sticky Thread Sticky: How do you ride?

    I think it would be very helpful to new-comers (and semi-new-comers like me) for people to simply tell what the conditions are where they ride and how they ride them. There is a great deal of collective wisdom in this forum, and I would love to hear others ideas. Again, no preconceived notions just...

    So, here's the idea: You ride a bike, you see something that needs attention (ie: tree branches too low, storm drain grates that could eat your tire, glass in the path, etc. etc. etc.). Then you take some pictures, then take steps to fix it. (ie: pull out a broom or pruning shears, make some phone...
