Re: [RBW] Re: Sacks for Cats?

Hmm. Has Nico tried a thundershirt? They are supposed to help with anxiety. Have you considered putting into one of those pet carrier backpacks and riding with that? This might sound kind of silly, but if Nico is strapped to your back and you start biking and he realizes that this is a One True G

Someone on the boblist (I think) traded or gave me a pair of "Dura Ace" (so pantographed; Olof Stroh says Shimano sold these under the DA moniker for 6 months in 1976; but *in re *= Tourney) centerpulls that he had manually polished. Those were both exquisitely beautiful (until the unprotected alum

Re: [RBW] Re: Thankful for rain

I've abandoned fenders on one winter bike. With 2.3 inch wide studded tires, fenders just don't work. Have a PDW mudshovel up front. Need to create something for the rear. In the past, was able to use fenders on the 26" wheel winter bike. But even then, things get pretty jammed up with snow/sl

When my service dog Ardie was alive, he would run next to me as I rode my Greenspeed trike. When I was going faster than 18 mph, I'd put him in the cargo basket in the back. Here are photos from our trip to the West Coast in 2004: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/15941043312/ and http

Re: [RBW] About to start experimenting with centerpulls

Seems to me you could get *almost* the same performance at a much lower cost by sourcing some original Mafac Raids. Spend a little money to have them professionally polished, and Voila! The Mafac Racers on my Motobecane are nearly as pretty, but they’re about the most powerful brakes I own (inc

Re: [RBW] Re: Sacks for Cats?

I can't even get Nico into a basket! Or, I can forcibly pick him up and shove him into one, but he'll immediately jump out. My dream is to construct a nice rigid portable kennel/pannier that fits onto the side or even the top of a rear rack. But Nico ain't cooperating. I offered my daughter $50 i

I am very serious under my foolish exterior. I very much would like to rig a Nico carrying system but patience (as I hitherto understand it) and treats haven't worked. I got Nico from the pound -- interesting aside: my daughter and I were walking through the kennel aisles where it seemed that ever

Re: [RBW] Re: Thankful for rain

Why have you abandoned fenders and knobbies? Clearance problem, or something else? Fenders really do keep the bike (the rider too, of course) cleaner. I remember a regular ride I used to do that involved a section of pavement off of which many dirt driveways led. On a wet day the road wasn't merel

They aren't available yet. They look really nice, but be prepared for MASSIVE sticker shock. Every time Jan comments on them, he points out how much cheaper it is to CNC parts (Paul) and how much cheaper generic stainless hardware is (Paul), and how much nicer the brake pad holders are than M

Assuming you're serious... try positive reinforcement (aka sheer, utter, shameless bribery with one thing your dog loves the most. sometimes it happens to be the stinkiest tennis balls, hot dogs, or smelliest cat food (uhmm, I'm running on a theme here)). It could also be that your dog is just cl
