Coasting says the horse variety is better. They like rolling in it in their parks over there.

While at the ToC yesterday and walking around between circuits, a bike fell over with a gust a wind as I walked past. I went over to pick it up at the same time as the owner. The bike was the latest C offering from Motobecane. Built up with Ultegra, I couldn't help but notice how truly nice it was. I explained that I owned the AL frame version for a time, and while the AL frame design itself was rather pedestrian, this CF frame was quite nice. A lot of engineering went into it. His response was, "It's alright for what it is." The unspoken message was, "Yes, I know it's a Motobecane, bought off the internet from BD. Whatever." See what BF has done?

Speaking of falling over, I witnessed two non-pro cyclists falling over while on the climb. One slowed too much to avoid hitting someone and the other one shifted and his chain got stuck between cogs, and they both couldn't get their feet out in time. The first one was on the ground for quite some time as he couldn't unclip, even with the help of some bystanders, and the other was gently lowered to the ground by a passerby.

I have to say that I like the Addict so much I don't ride the S2 anymore. I've created a monster.

There you go! Admitting you have a problem is the first step in the recovery process!

The shame... better take the road bike out today, or you'll have to move to the MTB forum.;)

Pcad, I haven't been riding the road bike as much the last few days now that i have a new MTB.. Is this a sign of the Apocalypse?

I hope you're riding in the dirt. And taking plenty of doobie breaks.

Mountain bikes are fun, get over it. More fun than road bikes, often, as long as you are actually mountain biking, not riding a mountain bike on the road.

horse poo is better than dog poo. it doesn't stick to your legs as much. i put this down to the high straw content. Another example of why fibre in the diet is so important. Cleaner poo.

We need to top kill the Fredliness in this thread.

This is the first time I've had two road bikes and both which I like so I must admit it's tough choosing which one to take out, though I must say the Orca is my favorite since it feels so much easier and nicer to ride. I rode my BMC yesterday and today and I don't know what it is but it takes more effort to spin up than it does with the Orca; the BMC is heavier but it's not a tank either so I'm not sure if it's the wheelset that's the difference.

i know what you mean. my heavier bike feels more lively.

I do wonder what will come first, Lindsay Lohan's tragic death, or a bottom to her drinking and drugging that convinces her to get sober?

I hope for the latter, my money is on the former. Very sad state of affairs to watch somebody so young and so blessed with fortune and fame hurtling towards the abyss.

Oh well. The band played on.

Is there a question too dumb for BikeForums?

What the heck is a "Runtime" error?

I upgraded a program, it tells me I need to move the existing data file. But when I click OK I get a Runtime error and it closes the program.

Runtime errors are usually program bugs -- contact the software's tech support.

It means a lazy programmer somewhere didn't properly handle an exception

yup.

This thread fails at software support.

I moved the file manually and so far it seems to be working.
