Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Your choice. But realize that for most people, once you stop the medicine, the numbers go back up again.

An additional problem is that it can be very tricky since return to unmedicated levels of cholesterol (and perhaps BP?) can be very slow, but nevertheless relentless. You have to continually watch your numbers like a hawk if you discontinue cholesterol and BP medications. I stopped Lipitor for a while to let liver enzymes normalize after a bad viral infection and taking lots of acetaminophen. After one month the cholesterol was still pretty good, but it didn't stay that way. Fortunately the liver returned to normal, and has remained so after resumption of the Lipitor. I really need it.

Okay, for the pie crust experts, since the subject continues - I'm going to make a pie for a family gathering, but need to accommodate allergies. I've been told that Crisco is a no-go (corn) and my crust calls for half butter/half Crisco. Would (good and of non-mysterious origin) lard be a 1:1 substitute?

Yes, or lard only. You might want to try coconut oil which is being adopted as a solid substitute for hydrogenated vegetable oils like Crisco. It avoids the trans-fat issues of Crisco. Probably tastes better than Crisco too. Might even be what Crisco is using now to lower its trans-fat content. Also it avoids the dietary restrictions on pork that some cultures have.

Finally don't forget that the English get very good results in their meat pies with beef tallow, but an appropriate grade of that might be hard to find in the USA.

I thought danger coasting was a style of riding. It could be.

Do you guys think a 13oz external battery pack will affect bike handing if mounted on the new t-bar off the handlebars? Otherwise there's a few ounces of things on the bars- Garmin, light and I might add a feed bag.

The other option is to mount the external battery to the seatpost below the saddle bag. There is room for it, although its not yet clear how we would attach it. It just requires purchase of a longer battery cable. But that location would probably affect bike handling the least being closer to center of gravity of the bike.

Its actually the boring speaker wire, football and cell phone plan talk.

That and all the drooling calls for "pics" if a wife or girlfriend is ever mentioned.

Not for nothing, but those are actually jokes based upon the general 41 motto of: pics or it didn't happen. This place is rife with inside jokes, which I can understand some "not in the know" being confused by.

Or... its possible someone might understand the joke and still find the comment offensive. Because of the general tenor of the 41 in regards to attitudes toward women. Of course, its always easier to believe that women are being hypersensitive rather than men are being inappropriate. And being outnumbered here, its probably not worth getting into. Ya'll will believe what you want to believe and convince each other you're right.

I actually thought that was a decent idea for a mounting location. Heck, those weird Rando folks put enough crap in their handlebar bags to feed the whole contingent, AND rebuild their bike, less frame. They don't seem to have their handling messed with, though speed isn't their real concern. It wouldn't surprise me if there is some kind of whiz-bang mini conductive welder stashed in there somewhere to weld their frame together. You know, because steel is real...... easy to break.

I did mount my battery to the saddle bag (wedge), and that worked pretty well. I mounted it on my commuter to the tire side of the seat tube, as I have fenders on that.
