LBM: I posted one of the replies above, and agree with you -- this was a fun thread to read/contribute to. I enjoyed reading the personal accounts of cycling experience, and reasons for riding, posted by fellow SBC club members.
P.S. When can we expect our custom (sublimated graphics) SBC club jerseys to arrive? Personally, I think it's time we as a tribe banded together, formed club chapters, and began to organize well-structured group rides on week-ends; the only restriction, really, is that while on a group ride club members must maintain a minimum distance of 1 km. between themselves and the next closest rider, AND that any member proven to have attempted to ride with another rider, club member or not, while actually commuting shall receive a life-time ban.
