[RBW] WTB: Nitto Tallux 130mm

My 100mm Technomic isn't cutting it with the new Albatross bars. Any used 130 Tallux out there? 120mm might be okay as well. -- Cheers, David Member, Supreme Council of Cyberspace "it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride." - Seth Vidal -- You received this message because you are

Way to go, Leah! I'm a bicycle safety instructor and I teach Safe Routes to School classes. Biking to school is great for kids for SO many reasons. Adults have different priorities, but for the kids it is the freedom to go where they want when they want; rather than have to wait for some adult

Leah is totally The Cool Mom. When I was a kid, I wanted to ride to and from school to avoid the bullies in the back of the school bus. My mother invited me to select a safe route, draw a map (school was three miles from home) and then, early one Sunday morning she would follow behind me in

[RBW] Re: The Impossible School Commute

Awesome! My wife loves riding with our four daughters (two of them on the back of her cargo bike) to Mass. It's similarly all down hill there, all up hill back. I've taught them to "take the lane," riding in the right tire spot of a car rather than as far over as they can. Much less stressful

[RBW] Re: The Impossible School Commute

My 9 year old can make it with only one stop for water over halfway up the hill. My younger needs to stop and walk for a few blocks. But when the heat goes away, I bet he can make it further. It's hard to do, even for me! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Yes, you were wrong...You should not have gently defended your case. You should have vigorously defended your case. I usually wear a helmet, but I have zero tolerance for non-cyclists who insist that all bike riders should wear a helmet. For kids, helmet use is required under California law.

Thanks, All, for your kind words. I have also posted this to my Facebook account, where it also drew an overwhelmingly positive response. That was, until an uncle of mine noticed I was not wearing a helmet. I was stupid enough to gently defend my case. When will I ever learn to just be quiet?
