I have yet to be heckled after two years of commuting by bicycle so take my comments with a grain of salt, but "roll faster roll faster" doesn't seem very threatening to me. He must have had a lot of...

I live in District 43 and use my bike for commuting to work, as well as getting groceries. I'm single with no kids, but if I did have kids, I would try to run errands by bicycle with them if the MUPs...

I noticed a lot more cyclists commuting to work this morning. Usually, I only see 2 or 3, but this morning I saw around 15 or 20. Too bad it will probably be back down to 2 or 3 next week.

I use Power Grips. They're great for winter riding. I'm not limited to using my uninsulated, cycling-specific SPD shoes with them. I can throw on my hiking shoes if there is snow and ice on the...

I have a set of Nokian W106 35mm tires and they have a 30mm sidewall height (rim to top of tread). Maybe this can help you determine if they'd fit. I'd be concerned about being able to get them to...

I'm waiting for a set of new wheels to mount my Nokians on. Since I'll only be using them when the snow is sticking, I think I'll be switching back and forth between regular tires and winter tires...

Driving home from work in the dark tonight, I noticed a bike commuter in the same lane further up ahead, around a bend. He had two rear blinkies, but they really did not get my attention as much as...
