I've already gotten sun poisoning on my arms this year!! Can't believe Donna didn't raise hell with me for it- she was unlucky enough to have had a malignant melonoma removed, but lucky enough that it hadn't spread, she's fine now. A cousin had to have part of her calf removed from a melonoma. Gotta remember that sunscreen of sunblock!!

I just swtiched over to Campagnolo integrated shifters, which, in turn, operate Shimano componants.

My question is, can I now comport myself out on the road as a Campagnolo snob???

If he is, he sued the creators of "Touched by an Angel" because he said he was a representative of God, and the show really PO'd God.

My bike has a kick stand. Should I remove it? Will it clash with my new bike clothes?

Just depends on how Freida you want to be.

Notice the neat weight-saving trick of riding helmet-free.

Power hubs, as in generators for the lights etc? Maybe?

Or is that a "roller brake"?
