I don't like bike lanes and I refuse to share the lane: If I'm in it, it's mine. I got sick of cars trying to pass me on the right or left or over the top while waiting for a light or other traffic...

I agree with the empathy deficite: you might see other cyclist lit-up like christmas trees, but it isn't about visibility it's about disregaurd -- the same mistake took place in the court room. I...

I just built a wheel set with 23x700c by 40mm deep rims. I used to hear the chain contacting the aging sproket the most, but the resonance of those rims is profound. I do think the creaking from a...
