Re: [RBW] MUSA Pants

['jim Dobbins' via RBW Owners Bunch]

+1 on the Riv MUSA shorts. I have a number of pair that I’ve had for ~4 years, 
they are bombproof. I’m not as fond of the pants as they are a bit funky in the 
way they fit me.

Our industrially produced food can also be seen as a display of human arrogance.

Re: [RBW] Just ride!

[Jim Dobbins]

While I loathe indoor workout machines (rowing & cycling) I have friends who 
really enjoy spin classes.

Some of them don’t ride bicycles out in the real world but they use these 
workouts to get and stay fit.

They enjoy the social aspect of spin classes, some get wicked fit.

Not a problem,

Re: [RBW] Saluki - Dog Trailers?

[Jim Dobbins]

Shoji,
Thanks, I’m mainly going to use it on my commute to work. I’m fortunate that it 
is ~6 miles and on quiet streets and a paved trail. I’m lucky that I can devote 
the Saluki to this and keep free my custom from this task.

 Hi Jim,
 I have used my AHH and Hunqapillar to tow a Burley trailer with kids. Kids 
 and toys probably weighed 60# or 70# (on the Hunqapillar). For AHH, I only 
 loaded it with one child-- probably 30#.
 
 There are limitations to trailers and carrying live weight. 
 
 The Burley trailer is a two-wheeled trailer. From what I can see, the 
 Doggyride is also two wheeled. Though stable for loading, it can be tipped 
 when going over uneven ground or taking a turn too quickly. If you're going 
 on trails, be mindful of rocks and logs. It looks like the wheels on the 
 Doggyride don't have bumpers-- narrow pathways (e.g., between trees on a 
 trail or bollards on a path) could be problematic if the wheel strikes it. 
 
 Kids and dogs moving in a trailer can influence the handling of the bike. It 
 depends on the weight and how much they're moving around. 
 
 good luck,
 Shoji

[RBW] Saluki With Dog Trailer?

[Jim Dobbins]

We have a new puppy and taking care of her has impacted my regular bike

I’m exploring the idea of getting a Doggyride trailer to hook to the Saluki to 
take the pup to work with me.

Has anyone here had experience with this or any other trailer on their bike?
