My Last Post was 13 Years Ago

Looks like this site is still doing well. I can't believe you're all still here.

Had a child that consumed all of my time/resources for biking. Got rid of everything except my ~2006 Trek 520 that I used on a Seattle to SF bike tour, pinnacle of my bike life. And a vintage Peugeot PKN 10, inherited from a brother I lost.

A job change with difficult parking forced me to buy a folder (Dahon Uno) and the moment I sat on that thing, I knew I was back.

I live in Davis, CA now, which is as good as it gets for bike community in the US.

On the lookout to get back my first real bike, a 1988 Cannondale Alpine Series.

So, what did I miss?

One guy in a thread suggested that another guy gave bad advice.
In another thread, someone thanked a guy for good advice.
Welcome back, Kotter.

Actually, I am confused. I'm not getting email notification. Control Panel says it's instant. Nothing in my Spam box. Is that not working?

I don’t use email notification, so not sure how that’s supposed to work.

Welcome back. I am a new member. I was on some other forum (or this one?) some time back. I have gone through a few computers and probably a few email addresses since.
It was easier just joining again.
