Without having read the Blagh, I have no answers to the questions Bill asked.
Could this be one of the special Blug Lug exclusive fancy bikes mentioned in a
previous Blagh months ago?

At the very end of Grants latest Blagh (today is June 20, 2024) there's a
prototype Riv center pull brake (interesting), a Riv front derailer
(exciting), and a bike sporting a sticker indicating it is one of twelve in
the universe, with two black rectangles blocking out something
(provocative).
Also what are those brake levers??

My criteria for a helmet include protection for my head (from sun and
impact), comfort (is light, breathable, fit), promotes visibility (for
others and does not reduce visibility for me), and looks OK (both wearing
and what it does to the hair upon removal). I don't expect much of any of

That thing looks mean.

Hi crew,
I'm considering selling my San Marcos in favor one of the upcoming
Roadunos. My area is pretty flat and I'm intrigued by the long-n-light
approach. The San Marcos is in great shape save for some beausage that came
from the bike falling while locked up. It's in the original color with t

Too funny, I'm bummed I didn't get further through this thread before
responding:
"The 81-year-old, *who was not wearing a helmet*, was transported to Ryder

I always wear a helmet, I've replaced 2 due to impact with the ground. Did
either save me? Who knows, but I'd rather have some questional styrofoam
between my cranium and the ground than not. Grant's writing is
interesting, and I certainly don't think helmets are magi

Fantastic! And great that your son came along. I think the Platypus makes
good sense as a touring bike. I'm planning to give mine a trial run.
Yesterday I booked an Amtrak train from Albany to Utica, NY. I'll ride back
East as an overnight trip. Total distance is a little over 100 miles. I

Nicely done! Gorgeous pics. You are lucky to have such a lovely place
nearby. Your approach is great for building interest and confidence. Hope
you enjoy many more adventures with your son and share the pics here.

Roberta - that is the Sergio green from the latest run, like mine. The
lime-olive from the first run sold out in a hot minute.

S24Os represent so much value and have weathered the time since named and

Ted, thank you for the VA Tech article and ratings testing helmets. I’m
glad you were able to type the info.
Pam, like you, always wear mine, although a few times I’ve forgotten to put
it on for my 2 mile ride to work. If I realize within a few blocks, I’ll go
