The Klein turned into a Cannondale for at least one episode. What's the actual Cannondale count, Seinfeld students? I dunno.

Maybe disc brakes would have helped?

Don't you just hate it when that happens. A long wheeled recumbent would have been the better option,,,it is hard to do an endo on one.

The story on that one was that the photographer knew about the pothole and sat waiting for someone to ride into it during the rain. Pretty cruel. I'm not sure brakes would have helped.

The front fork is frighteningly far back.

A look at radar says there will be no cycling around here today. It has to be your rain working its way into our area

My stomach started flipping as I got to 22.
It's obvious I got there because I had nothing better to do.

Call me OCD or whatever those letters are but I had to bring this back from page 6...
It looks like it is snowing but it is just a fine mist of rain slowly falling to moisten the new green leaves of the trees...and the roses...and of course the wheat, that will make the bread for toast in the morning (or some morning for someone).

I think it's going to take a wooden stake and a silver bullet to kill this thread.

Now where did I put that stake?

Steel may be real, but wood is good, too.

retrofit sometimes does not go with the original...but that has never kept me away from doing it.

Spandex has a tension similar to tape. Pinned is an approximation. Do we have to go into this much detail?

I think the problem is I took "pinned" literally, instead of a descriptive.
