Right, you'll just save it to floppy disk. Oh, no, wait... I suppose it is possible Google and Apple cloud services crash into bankruptcy in my lifetime, but highly unlikely. In fact if they do, I suspect the overall situation will make looking up old bicycle articles among the least of my concerns.

Jones bars. He is in Oregon and makes some very cool bikes. I run the bars on my Ibis HD. (Wood chippers on my Atlantis) The bars are very nice, although a little heavy but give lots or room for your hands to roam and a huge area to put lights, GPS, bells etc. Clay On Wednesday, July 23, 2014 7:52:36 AM UTC-7, Chris in Redding, Ca. wrote: Hey All, Anyone know anything about the build specs of the Mr. Gray's Hunq?

Re: [RBW] Re: Cover of Bicycle Times Magazine
If Bicycle Quarterly were a news magazine, I would agree with you that the writer/reporter should not insert themselves into the story (and it is far too common an issue in today's reporting). However, that's not the genre of BQ, which is a scientific log of bicycle exploration. Documenting experiments (including rides) and sharing their journey is an inherent part of that, so of course Jan is going to be in his own photos and articles. Every scientist is.

Re: [RBW] Re: Cover of Bicycle Times Magazine
Reading different kinds of things in different ways is easy enough for me, sort of like I write differently with pencils, ballpoints, fountain pens, and keyboards. Hyperlinks add a lot to the experience of reading. But I'm also concerned about two odd twins: loss of data and knowledge, and loss of memory, and my tendency to hoard. That's one of my contradictions. I don't want to hoard any more, I hoard too much, but I know that much of what I've learned from BQ beyond what my own experience confirms came from old cycling magazines that someone didn't throw out. I know that much of what was only in digital form a few years ago is no longer readable, and is lost. I'm concerned by the fragility of digital knowledge over time, going poof like the library of Alexandria on fire, but faster.

I will finish out my one year subscription and unless it becomes digital will not be renewing. I love being able to have all my reading on one device. I can look at earlier issues of BT and MM and I have all my books on the same device including my favorite Just Ride. Then I can read Google Groups RBW threads, without skipping a beat. Then I can go ride my bike. On Thursday, July 17, 2014 6:33:40 PM UTC-4, blakcloud wrote: Received my digital version of the magazine and on the cover is a Hunqapillar.

[RBW] Re: Cover of Bicycle Times Magazine
Nice! Bicycle Times is the only bike magazine I've found that is worth the paper it's printed on. I really should subscribe instead of just picking up the occasional issue when I see it on the stand. I had an interesting short e-mail exchange with Nicholas Carmen (also featured in this issue) who has experience with the Hunqapillar and who helped design Velo-Orange's Camargue. This guy rode a bike from the East Coast to Banff, Canada and then down the Great Divide Trail. He has tons of experience with off-road riding and he had good things to say about the Hunqapillar. The few things he would change about the Hunq were incorporated into VO's Camargue.

Re: [RBW] Re: Cover of Bicycle Times Magazine
While I like Bicycle Times, too, and subscribe to it electronically, if you're looking for a magazine worthy of it's paper, and your time, and one that repays additional study, I recommend Bicycle Quarterly, in case you haven't seen it or haven't read it lately! BQ has ads, too, but little ones, not so many full page ads; it's more supported by subscriptions than by ads. BQ is more a more personal, and technical, less flashy publication than BT. And it's paper only. I still keep my back issues, more for the tour stories than anything else. Their technical articles evolve over time, as they are doing real hands-on research into what makes a bike ride better, and they have made real, ongoing progress in rediscovering what makes fast tires and in frame design. They have how-to articles that are relatively timeless. But the stories of rides are what I go back and reread years after I first read them. There's one of a tour in the Morvan region of France from years ago, and one of tour of India on Indian Roadsters made by hand for the tourists in an ancient bike shop in a market at the start of the trip, of a desert road race from Tucson to Phoenix in the heat of the summer a hundred years ago, and in this summer's issue a story about tour of Japan that reminded me of the story about the Morvan years ago. BQ is in color, too, now. I read Adventure Cyclist, too, but the arrival of a new BQ is an event for me. Bike magazines are much better now than they were when I was younger!

Re: [RBW] Re: Cover of Bicycle Times Magazine
I had forgotten BQ!!! Probably because they come out less often than other periodicals. I've got a small stack of back-issues that I've ordered for specific articles but definately one I would subscribe to before Bicycle Times.

Re: [RBW] Re: Cover of Bicycle Times Magazine
i let my subscription to BQ lapse because i got tired of photographs of Jan first thing i learned in 8th grade journalism is the writer does not put himself in the photos. one highly experienced bicycle industry professional referred to BQ as Jan's paper blog. diversifying the writer pool and topics wouldn't hurt. i still buy the occasional copy and i think jan's prose is less flat and technical writerly than it used to be. and from personal experience i know how difficult writing in a foreign language is. but every photograph of jann makes me cringe. if he makes a policy of keeping himself out of the photographs i will resubscribe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
