Red is the fastest way to see.

there's an idea

I don't "see red", but can't really tell what's going on in that photo anyway.

I'm not a big fan of the bulbous heinous Tektro levers, though. And I even have a set of the all black Cane Creek version on my tourer. Ugly.

I can't believe someone would take a picture of somebody else's bike without moving crankarms and valve stems to proper road bike picture taking position. Bonus points for removing dork disk if applicable.

Amusingly, the point of the kickstand is to avoid having to lock up a bike that way.

I don't care how other people lock their bikes and how they use bike racks...Most of the time.I lock my bike to a lamp post or some railing.

The wiggle racks aren't bad. Put one bike on each end, and one or two in the middle. Perhaps squeeze some wheels under the hoops.

But, you should try the slinky Racks. A pain to get the bike secured in. Fortunately I've never seen another cyclist at this restaurant.
