What's the best tour in North America?

I just finished a Pacific Coast tour from the Canadian border to the Mexican border and it was awesome. The route was on the coast for most of the ride, which was very cool. There was amazing...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Looks like racoons and ticks are the ones to look out for. And good call on the poison oak. I need to figure out what that looks like.

Bad experience with blackburn front lowriders

I bought the Blackburn FL-1 Front Lowrider Front Bike Rack because it was cheap, it had a stabilizing bar, and it was a lowrider rack. But it wasn't compatible with my Orlieb or Arkel panniers. It...

Roller or Stationary Trainer?

I need to buy a trainer. Should I get a roller or some kind of stationary trainer? I've heard rollers make it feel more like you're actually riding, but what do you guys think?

Any inexpensive...

Never :/

I never wear a helmet except when I go on a mountain bike ride, which happens about 2-3 times a year. I usually ride around 90-110 miles a week when the weather is decent. I ride on side roads that...

I don't know what year the Campione is. I bought it off craigslist and haven't done enough research to figure out what year it is. My guess is 80s. I absolutely love that bike though.

Thanks for...

Need an affordable, reliable road bike

I've only recently started road biking. I currently am riding a really old fixed gear Bianchi Campione, but I'd like to get a typical road bike with gears and all that jazz for longer rides. I don't...

Fixie Videos

To preface this, I ride a Bianchi Campione fixie conversion and I love it.

Is it just me or are fixie videos extremely lame? I'm not really impressed with most of the tricks you see and even the...

Biking is good for the knees right?

So, I've always heard and strongly agree that biking is really good exercise for your knees. It's low impact usually and your knees are in constant motion, working hard (which is also called...

I think that if you want your friends, potential gfs, etc. to understand and respect the car-free life, then you just have to live that life normally. You can't be cooped up in your house all the...

I had a bike stolen from me a little over a month ago, so I'm constantly paranoid that someone is going to steal my bikes. I bought a bianchi-converted to fixie and take it on the bus with me every...

Thanks everyone. I'll probably go with holdfasts or something like that since it's a commuting bike and I don't feel like carrying an extra pair of shoes.
