Be in a place where you can get around on the left of them as well if need be.
I prefer knuckles to sheet metal... makes a much better noise inside the vehicle. Sounds like...... damage...which ensures an immediate backing off. OR, a really good marching-up-and-down-the-parade-square "oi!!!!" If you can reach out without stretching to touch the car then they are way too close..... they seem to understand that logic when speaking to drivers. "Dude, I didn't have to try to touch you all I did was reach out and tapped...that's how close you were."
She's a tool, but I can't rah rah a preggo gettin' hit. Sorry lads, NOW if she wasn't pregnant, I'd be laughing my ass off.
OHOHOH got my first cab hail high five the other day going up Yogne. She was hailing, I moved over the tagged her out stretched hand... fun stuff, and she didn't freak out either.

I ordered some wheels last summer, from Bicycle Wheel Warehouse I think. When they arrived I didn't have to pay anything, and the sticker thing on it said it was: a heart rate monitor, a "gift" (why I didn't have to pay I guess), and it was apparently bound for Paris, France.... but the wheels were what I ordered

Thanks, email sent.

Remember the Rotor "swiss cheese" cranks?
Turns out what was glaringly obvious to everyone was proven by the EFBe (who do strength/durability testing) so Rotor scrapped the design for this:
Maybe these ones won't snap quite so easily.

Those look like Art Deco versions of old school Campy SR cranks.

Oh and Nadir, this is an internet call out because you're such an awesome guy. Note extreme sarcasm in the last sentence. Apparently I don't know what a 26" wheel is, but neither do you.

*sigh* ... I'm thinking about switching back to Eggbeaters from my ATAC XSs. The ATACs are so much more solid in general but the non-drive one is creaking. Also, I really miss being able to clip in by sliding my foot forward onto the pedal as well as pulling my foot backward across the pedal to clip in, which I can't do with Times.
Looks like I'm riding the Times as is this Sunday and then next week I'll have to decide whether to shell out some $$$ to rebuild the Times or the Crank Bros. Boourns. Too much more of this and I'm going back to WTBs with Power Grips.

I have a Fuji Tarck that I am going to powder-coat white and have black components with white bar-wrap. A white saddle will never work for me, I am just too gross.

Off to Paris-Ancaster. Good luck to everyone who is going. 1650 registered! If you guys didn't get in the first or second wave...get there extra early...Nothing like getting to the mud bog sections after 1500 other people have trashed it.

Paris -Ancaster! Best of luck all. Wish I was riding.
Does anyone have a spare set of SIDI Adaptor plates for LOOK cleats that they could send my way? Thanks in advance.
