Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I think it depends which model folding bike it is. We'll need to know this and see pics, before we can pass judgment upon you.

If buying a bike is an option, I would buy a used one and then sell it when you get yours back. Folding bike? Those things look terrible to ride.

I'm surprised the mods started a new one. When I saw the lock I figured the old dog had finally been put down.

Yes, but as I said to VV when he announced your move to the east, Your Stonehenge ride just got a lot longer

depends on the folder. Bike Friday probably. Pacific Reach probably. Moulton yes. A cheap chinese one. probably not. Folding bike owners are just as fanatical as froad nazis.

It's coming together. Flipped stem, moved a spacer up, rearranged the bar position and adjusted the seat tube and seat. Have temporary SPD pedals that are heavy as hell. And I'm looking to swap those bottle cages for something a little less atrocious.

Looks good BLR, except you broke all the rules of taking a BF bike picture. Well done.

It looks like I am 23rd on the post count for the last volume of Addiction. I'm okay with that. What is staggering, is that gomer has over 10x's as many post.

first practice crit of the year for me.... not many people

https://connect.garmin.com/activity/74904675

my wife and I are fighting...why does this happen?

Side note...more off shift jobs popping up that I may have a chance for... trying to figure out if asking for a 18,000 raise will get me laughed at.
