Thanks for sharing that ,Bill. My wife loves ringing the bell when we ride
together, and it does have a very pleasant, crisp sound that says hello
more than outa my way. I have two of the early Selle Atomica saddles and
the leather has worn very well and they are the most comfortable saddle

I'm not an expert or have a strong opinion one way or another, I just think
it's fantastic that there's a debate searching for actionable ways to control
obesity in this country right now.

They noted this price jump with regret a while ago.
As far as I can discern, the current Sam line-up is:
48cm - Waterford - single TT - 650b - canti brakes? - BB, headset, no
seatpost - $1500
52cm - Waterford - single TT - 650b - canti brakes? - BB, headset, no
seatpost - $1500
56cm - Taiwan -
Btw, that new green is gorgeous. Much nicer in person than on the riv
site photos. Almost as nice as the original orange, and much nicer
than the original green IMHO. :)

I am happy to let the scientists battle this one out! I will say that I
have lost 20 pounds now in about 8 weeks, and my wife has lost about 10. I
had way more to lose before starting a diet that is higher in fat, filled
with vegetables, and some fruits than she did. It is working for me.

Two nice small Riv things to add: 1) the Spoke Reflectors and 2) the

Yes. I like ringing my bell as I pass pedestrians on the trail. I
prefer ringing it rather than saying on your left. Or maybe I just
don't want to talk to anybody while I'm enjoying ride, caught up in my
own thoughts and paying attention to the environment around me. For
this, the bell works

One huge difference between our mid-20th-century-on and the lives of

I would suggest reading the book. There is lots of information about
activity levels having no direct correlation to obesity (other than as we
get fatter we are less active, and get more tired when we do an activity,
which then leads to us eating more). Worth a read, it will take an
I don't doubt Taube's ideas work for some, even for many; what I doubt
(from other things I have read and from what I simply have seen in NA,
Europe, Asia and Africa) is that it contains the entire truth about
nutrition and related health. Again, there is simply too much variety
across the world
Bells are wonderful things, much better than on your left, which invariably
leads to someone leaping to the left in front of your bike. But both are near
useless on my local paths, because everybody uses those damn iPods. I'm usually
resigned to approaching slow and far left, hoping they don't

By far the best $10 I have ever spent. I and a friend had a late start on a

people are cruising.

or a soak-off decal. Sure is purty, though.

Hi Joe,
That RBW logo is a peel-off sticker. It's a bit of a challenge getting the

Same problem here. I ride a local trail a lot, and some days upward of
50% of the walkers have ear buds plugged in; then they get mad because
you scared them by passing on the left, even after ringing a bell, etc.
Nothing you can do, really, except avoid them when they jump!

Avoiding them when they fall onto a trike they didn't expect to be way down

I really like the sticker but I wish it was a white background and not
clear. I thought it was white because it has a white paper backing but when
