My commute takes me on Barbur passing the Freddies just after Terwilliger where there is a long, slight downhill leading into the driveway for the parking lot. That single spot is, to me at least,...

There is a nice MUP running between some of the housing developments there, and the many of the locals actually walk on it! Lots of folks actually walk from home to the Freddy's there to shop. I...

I use a set of Shower Pass Booties that are more like a poncho for your shoes than the usual neoprene type that are very difficult to get on/off. These...

I did sign it. This can, without trying to sound too dramatic, be a matter of life and death. When out on a long, multi-day, self-supported tour, it may be a long stretch between campsites. And in...

That route looks boring but good. That's what I would take to get from A to B. Terwilliger is definitely more fun, and aside from one notorious intersection (Jonathan did some posts bout this on...

Have you used one of the newer IGHs? I installed an Alfine8 IGH about a month ago after several less-than-stellar experiences with an older Nexus7 hub. It's used with an old Raleigh road bike with...

This sounds like when of them fancypants molecular gastronomy things. Just an idea if you manage to pull this off: Do this with some double/triple ales (you know, the good 8% stuff). The water...

I agree with Spiffy's sentiment and do what I can to discourage jerkism of all forms, but I would never do anything to cause a collision. Instead, I usually hurl a sarcastic remark, like "Thanks for...
