Jen, I bet your first road bike had reflectors too.

I have seen some pretty nice bikes with that set up, usually near liquor stores.

If that's a joke, you've gotta admire the dedication.

The Reynolds came with them too.

Now you are joking, right?

RIGHT?!?

A thread got disappeared while I was reading it. Weird.

Awwww, they yanked the Freeway Cuesheet thread?

I'm not even sure why. It didn't even seem to be headed for a lock.

What was it about?

I'm not sure I should say. It must be controversial. I might get disappeared.

Some guy works at a resort hotel. Hands out cuesheets for cycling guests. One 50 mile route had a line that said Right on Pima Rd. There happens to be an 8-lane freeway called Pima FWY before you get to Pima road so the guest got on that.

Hilarity and concern ensued in the thread.

I'm guessing yanked at OP's request?

Damn it poofed? It was just classic BF.

The best parts were the hospitality worker/tourguide pissing contest.

Legal aspects were firing up pretty good. A little hotshot internet lawyer testosterone coulda set it off like a tinderbox.

Sometimes the manner in which this place is run makes zero sense.

Along those lines, Monday I was riding along and (after-the-fact) came across one of these signs warning of mosquito spraying.

How is someone supposed to know where they are spraying? I was riding all over the west end of the county last weekend. They're not going to have obvious signs on every road. By chance, I happened to notice the newspaper article on Twitter, otherwise I wouldn't know about spraying (where I ride) this weekend.

(Even more serious) West Nile Virus? Just down the road? I don't want to die from a mosquito bite.

The OP could have deleted it himself, before we blame big brother.

When I was little, I used to chase after the trucks and play in the cloud of chemicals. My parents would yell. I turned out mostly okay.

Oh, you can delete your own entire threads? I was not aware of that.

I've never noticed any signage about skeeter spray around here. I've seen the little trucks out and about however.

I don't think a lot happens near housing, though. They just hit up all the part time lakes and other stagnant water spots every summer.

They used to drive them up and down the streets in Miami.

Wish they woulda done that when I lived in NC and VA. Bugs were pretty bad there back in the day.

Usually mosquito control is done here by raising and lowering lake levels at strategic times. I was surprised to learn spraying was underway.

I wonder if coasting has a home brew remedy for West Nile Virus. They've got to have mosquitoes in Taiwan.

The hot is here.

lol thanks for the coffee advice guys, sorry but i fell asleep on you

we don't get medals in the tri's
