be a kind of post-feminist Gen-Y thing.
What male cyclist with a female partner doesn't want to get her more
into cycling? Making a place more inclusive, either online, or at the
bikeshop or on the road, can only help.

Hi all,
I've searched all over forum archives and can't seem to find much
discussion on this question: how does the Sam climb?
I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a 52 (ideally I'd ride a 54,
and 56 is just a tad too big), my 26 yr old Trek 560 ready to retire,
and I'm used to a more aggressi

What's with the clamp on the seat post? and the dowel under the saddle?

member of a tribe to see a bike named after his or her people. Would
it be like seeing:

I love the basket on the front of my AHH with drop bars. But want it

No. B/c it's velcro there's a little elasticity, as there is with the
metal basket itself.
I attach the strips in such a way that there's opposing tension,
iteratively tightening them- if that makes sense. Pro'ly best to

This question is always interesting to me- I've wondered it myself.
So the question is, is compression on the rim better than tension
(hook) when not rolling? If you think a bike standing in the corner,
the wheels are bearing approximately half the bike's weight, in
compression. On a hook, it's
PBH 82.5: the 56 was just a touch big but doable; a 54 would be
perfect (doesn't exist), so the 52 was fine. Seems like at 84, 56'd

Tentwise, I can highly recommend Sierra Designs. I have an earlier
