ISO used trail-a-bike
Hope it's ok that I'm posting this--I desperately need a trail-a-bike for my five-year-old, who is completely sick of the trailer, but not quite up to long rides on his own bike. I'm getting...

Ice cream.
Not going to give up meat, but I'll pass on the school lunches, thankyouverymuch. Organic grass fed or whatever scraps of venison my dad tosses my way for me. Once a month or so.

When I did a lot of distance cycling, I also commuted 13-15 miles each way every day. I could do this quickly if there was no traffic, but not if there was. I didn't consider it training, but would...

I don't expect 3 feet, but then, I'm from NYC. I'm just grateful they're not actually hitting me.

Ok, I don't do this now, but I did do a 15-mile each way commute in NYC, year round and in all weather. I did this on a crap bike, and on good bikes, and the main difference was that I worried more...
