Descending out of a curve at 30mph, to this: hold those bars tight. It worked before.

I like that red tape on your bike, it adds a little something to the look.
I get about one flat a month and it always seems to be on the day that i didn't bring a patch kit and pump.

Thanks, that is Fizik Microtex. I've had some bad luck with flats lately, 4 flats in 6 days. The picture above was my second flat that day. The flats have been on different bikes, so it's probably just bad luck.

Presidents Day weekend camping trip with the kids. 7:30 am, 19 degrees. Trying to blow life into last nights embers. Needless to say, we had the campground to ourselves.

This is what it looked like the afternoon before:

But, being Utah, it mostly melted by mid-morning:

..and eventually we made to our destination above some local river:

Spied this in the window of RRB Cycles the other morning. It's orange.

there is a lot to be jealous about in those pics. Btw, is that tent made by Bibler?

Oh wow! I just browsed your site, very impressive stuff! A long while back I bought a Gibson, which is nice... now I wish I had sought out something a little more unique like these.

We rode Saturday and Sunday last weekend, and our group of six had eight flats in two days.

Every type/brand of tire imaginable.

Late winter here in the prairie is notoriously hard on tires.

Too much road debris until they clean the streets, or spring rains arrive.

I gave up and put on Gatorskins, so you know I am desperate.

Just sold this bike. Already missing it

These pictures remind me why I need to visit Utah again some time soon. Beautiful country atmo.

I reckon you getter have a really good aim to keep the front wheel on the strip that goes down the middle!

A project I did just to see if it would work. Used it once to get a 12 pack, worked great

As some of you know I recently moved to California from the east coast. I'm living in Los Gatos right now. This morning I got a chance to ride out of town up into the Santa Cruz Mountains. The plan was to ride to the coast but that didnt happen because of some time restrictions. Anyway, I took the only road bike i have with me right now which is a 650b 38mm tired Raleigh portage. Turned out that was an excellent choice.

had to grab a bite first
