sure, a lot of the same topics are gonna get churned back up over and over and over and over (especially in spring summer when so many new people decide to take a stab at bike commuting), but i don't mind, and all offer my 2 cents over and over and over if the mood strikes. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. and then once in awhile there's a brand new topic that really piques my interest.

it's all good. bicycles rule!
