I posted an appeal recently for a tweed Nigel Smythe bag (bar bag in

mean no harm.
I would simply like to recognize some SOLID custom

If one discounts the psychology of having a heavier or lighter

Each to his own, of course. I personally would prefer a lightish road bike
with 28s (or perhaps 32s) for mild dirt and gravel than a 42mm plus
heavyweight, which leads to my question: at what point, all else being equal
of course, does weight difference matter? I expect 8 or 10 lbs will make a

Lugged folder? Wow, talk about your niche market ... And anyway, Bike
Friday pretty much has the custom/high end travel bike market sewn
up. My Dahon works fine for travel purposes, but I wouldn't want to
use it for extended riding.

Nice folder...I assume the rider is behind the camera!
I wonder why Grant hasn't designed a lugged folder. I suppose there
is probably a bit more to it than meets the eye.

I think it is within the focus of the list, at least to be aware of it if not
discuss it. I think all bicycle groups should be aware of proposals such as
this, it could pop up in other states sooner rather than later, as states
search for money. Jim D. Massachusetts

Sorry if this is wide of acceptable range of topics. Out of

This is the first I've heard of it. What is it, exactly?
I'd pay a small bike tax *if* I could be convinced that its revenues would
be used for cycling infrastructure (bike paths, wider shoulders) and
education ("Bikes have legal rights on the road.").

Just wondering what others think of this proposed bike tax. Personally, it
seems idiotic. Why tax the solution, and especially when we already pay
tax? The argument that accepting a tax gives cyclists weight legally fails
to recognize the number of times throughout history that such a compromise
Sorry I wasn't riding a Riv-ish bike (I'm traveling, and they don't
fit in a suitcase like my folding Dahon does), but here are some

Has anyone ever tried using an extra-large (or XXL!) saddle bag with a
narrow rear rack as its support?
I have a skinny Tubus Luna rear rack, and was thinking about springing for
the new Riv Sackville Saddlebag, size Large (which requires a rear rack for
support). I am thinking of using it mostly

We don't have many racer types who shop at HC, but we have one who
regularly makes use of our repair/technical services. He's the kind of
guy who's always looking to shave grams or convert metal parts to
similar parts made of some non-metal. His knowledge of bicycles/parts
of this type is extensiv

are you familiar with the trans-iowa race? it kind of proves your
point - it's a 300 mile "race" on rough stuff and there is certainly a
difference in bike/equipment choices for that event.
