Resisting n+1...

Yes. I've seen a couple of tempting bikes since I bought it but I can't justify the expense of a second bike while my Trek is still on the road. I did get to buy an Electra Townie 7D EQ for my wife...

No idea what mine is rated at but I run at around 6 bar / 90 psi. I would probably run wider tyres at a lower pressure but I like the ones that came on my Trek.

No wonder he went out of business, treating people like that. I'll have to look up the Milwaukee tourer.

Has it really been ten years?! That Trek has held up very well and the gears have been gentle on my dodgy knee. I'm so glad that the people here inspired me to go back to the bike shop!

On my most recent visit to my LBS (http://ternofthewheel.com/) I tried a couple of bikes and found the Trek 7300 the most comfortable, in part because of a more upright riding position. I was...

It's a safe bet that I won't be riding that far for some time. I'm not sure my back would tolerate drop handlebars anyway.

I haven't ridden a bike for getting on towards twenty years. I injured...

I was flicking through the Trek catalogue today and noticed the 'Cruiser Classic Steel', which looks promising. I have a dubious left knee though, so the extra complexity of a mountain bike may be...

I did it: I set foot in the local bike shop. The staff did not rush to push me out of the door. Eventually a helpful fellow walked over to me and answered my tentative question with "Oh, we've put...

If I pluck up the courage to go into a bike shop and if they somehow have a bicycle that's built like a dump truck, is it reasonable to ask them to check/tension the wheels on a new bike? What's a...

I live a few blocks from a local bicycle shop that seems well-regarded by people I know who have spent a lot more than I can. I tell people that I don't go there because they don't carry either of...

It may be a quirk of American English (do Canadians say it too?) that "pavement" here seems to mean specifically the road surface as opposed to sidewalks. This almost got me in trouble when I tried...

I weigh a hell of a lot more now than you did before you went back to the gym. I'm saving up for a bicycle. I'm leaning towards a Raleigh Special, but it may be easier for me to find a Schwinn SS-X...

I got a chance to look at some department store cruisers over the weekend. With my weight on them, they look as though they'd fold when I hit the first bump. :-|
