Re: [RBW] Re: Group Riding / New Covid-19 World

[Addisonwilhite]

I enjoyed a nice ride here in Reno today. Lots of families out at the parks 
with kids which seemed weird. Good to get out. Sorry no photos.  Rode one of my 
beautiful Della Santas.  Came home with a smile on my face.

I’m a rationalist, humanist, atheist, Buddhist, and find Deacon Patrick’s last 
response reflective and poignant.  Whatever faith we have or don’t have this is 
a time to not only think of others but “serve” them as well. We are in this 
together!  

Much respect and love to you all,

What size is your AR Craig?  I have a 98 model and have been curious about

Re: [RBW] When is a bike old?

[Addisonwilhite]

I've recently become enamored of fountain pens. In particular, vintage flex 
pens. If you haven't written with a pen like this, with its line variation, and 
tactile feel, I encourage you to dabble.  Be warned though, unlike bikes which 
take space and raise eyebrows, pens are easy to hide. 

That being said, I save my hundred year old pens for letter writing at my desk 
at home.  They aren't for every day use.   How does this relate to bikes? 

What does this have to do with bikes and bike technology?   Strangely, quite a 
lot in my experience.

Often the stations will have used boxes that they'll let you use for free.

 Peter,
 
 The box is $15 and yes it's checked luggage. You can only do checked 
 luggage from certain (large) stations. It is recommended to call the 
 station and ask if they have boxes & tape. The pathlesspedaled recommends 
 bringing a black Sharpe to write on the box & tape. When I looked into 
 traveling with my bike from the Bay Area it's all buses out of the city 
 that run you to the Coast Starlight et al.

 The Amtrak packing process is super user friendly.  The boxes are

 Check out a box at Union Station.  You'll be amazed.  I think you do

Hi David. 

I'm very glad you posted about this on the list.  I'm not thrilled with the

Thanks again. 

Addison
