[RBW] Re: cycling panda.
I really enjoy those. I found the tiny point and shoot that I haven't touched for a couple years just to leave in the handlebar bag so I can take some of my own.

Jim, A basket in front is a lifesaver in dire times. Once you put it on you won't regret it. My father works construction part time and I'm usually the tool boy to get things. Since Home Depot is only a few miles away from my house I figured I could save some time and money if I just get the tools or parts while biking. One word of caution don't try biking with sheetrock in one hand... At the beginning of last year I needed a basket for a quick run to do some errands. The basket in the front was only suppose to be temporary and the zip-ties where only suppose to be on for a day. It's now been one year. I'll get to the black zip-ties soon enough...maybe next year. -Manny On Jan 16, 9:35 am, JimD wrote: > Manny, > Now you've gone and done it.

Great photo set. You talked me into it too, I'm trying a basket. I am on my 4th front bag (a little loafer this time) and although they are all excellent well made bags they all come with their own problems: can't mount lights to handle bar, can't use pockets due to shifter cables, hands tangled in cords attached to brakes etc. Maybe the little loafer (my favorite) inside a basket, that might work. -Ray On Jan 15, 11:00 pm, manueljohnacosta wrote: > 2 years.

I have a brooks bag that I currently use on my Bombadil as a saddle bag, but my last coupe of tours it's been my handlebar bag as it had the perfect angle to drop below the bars and allow a light.

Manny I did my first Populaire yesterday, and started a set.

Re: [RBW] Re: cycling panda.
OK, I have a question that I'm a bit embarrassed to ask. And I've exhausted the interwebs trying to find out. What's the derivation of PANDA? Also please send a link to a PANDA of riding with sheetrock. -JimD On Jan 16, 2011, at 10:31 AM Jan 16, 2011, manueljohnacosta wrote: Jim, A basket in front is a lifesaver in dire times.
