As I'm pretty sure he former will be considerably more painful than the latter, I'll take not knowing a Campy NR RD from a muffin any day. Campy stuff has a following, but I'm not necessarily a subscriber.

Just think how cool it would look if you used monofilament fishing line for the brake cable.

Oh, and I've got an honest to goodness wtf: why are any references to g u n s censored on this forum? I mean, this crap's really getting out of hand. You can say chit on TV but can't type p i s t o l normally on Bike Forums even if it's part of your username!

SMH. This nanny state stuff is really going waaaaay too far.

Rant over.

You said it, D. Dude. The nerve of some people, who feel the need to inflict their moralistic views on to the internet.
I wonder how this came about? I wonder if it also occurs on other internet forums? I wonder….who is responsible for this?

Notice the stoplights. I am sure it was an organized ride but I still find the lights humorous. I can hear some anti-cyclist saying, "Look at them!. They think they own the road."

Location is just a few block south of the Ferguson Police station. You probably saw this intersection last night if you were watching the coverage. AFAIK the building was not damaged. The worst stuff was a few miles away on West Florissant Road. Which happens to be east of here.

IIRC Columbus made *****d steerers. In case you missed it, r i f l e d. One can, however, write 1911 with impunity.

Count me in on this sentiment. I have an opinion but have erased it several times now. I don't think it belongs in this forum.

I am thankful for all of you that have served this country's values and principles reflected in the writings and debates of the founding fathers including those who fought for independence for a chance to participate in the great experiment of a free country. Not a country free from others but one that pursued a social and governmental experiment to enable individual freedom. Best statement exemplifying of the passion of those times was Patrick Henry, "give me liberty or give me death."

He would likely give it to TJ! TJ kept records of every planting at Monticello for years. PH became a lawyer after failing in tobacco farming. He was a very successful politician and was the first and sixth governor of Virginia. "After the Revolution, Henry was a leader of the anti-federalists in Virginia. He opposed the United States Constitution, fearing that it endangered the rights of the States as well as the freedoms of individuals; he helped gain adoption of the Bill of Rights. By 1798 however, he supported President John Adams and the Federalists"
Anti-federalists were also known as confederates and supported the first form of government defined by the Articles of Confederation which were replaced by the Federalist views represented in the current Constitution in 1787.

1745 Thomas Jefferson Cultivates Hemp – Thomas Jefferson was recorded growing and cultivating marijuana at Monticello. There is no record of Jefferson using marijuana for recreational purposes, compared to Washington, who recorded his experience of smoking in his diary.

Yeah. Plus, since fishing line is just like a fiber-optic cable, you can send light through it and light up your brake-lever for those night-time rides.

Wow, a bike forum and an American History lesson all-in-one. Vintage info, for sure.
