Hi Andy, I also lived in Florissant(Black Jack) from 6th grade through high school. I left in 1975, so it's been a while. I moved a lot for the first 30 or so years of my life. For the last several years I've been going back and riding in areas that I lived and have done several. I've ridden the

I am across the river in Fairview Heights, Illinois. I have a Hunqapillar and a Bridgestone XO-1. I would like to meet and ride with other RBW owners in the St Louis area once the stay at home order is lifted and we can safely do so. Madison county, Illinois has over a hundred miles of

Oh man, I love that place. So great to hear you do to. They dug up a Fairdale Weekender, a Dr. Dew and a Breeze for me to tool around the District for a day, just because I said I was visiting from St. Louis where we don’t have a Fairdale dealer. Super patient with me and answered all my

Well, I’ve never done a group ride in my life, so I’m not suggesting that for the meet up. As far as I’m concerned, we can all agree to ride in from different points on the compass so that we don’t have to calculate our velocity and distance and radii of possible transmission under speed.

Glad that someone is beginning to look at it at least. I hadn't heard any of that. It makes sense that velocity is going to affect distance. Tho, this could cause concern for the increase number of people that are offset from public transit using the bike lanes. I've been maintaining 100% masking

I don't think the 2 meter rule necessarily applies to cycling or running. There is a computer-simulated model out of Europe that suggests that for higher speed travel modes, like running and cycling, you might need far more than 6 feet. Granted, it's a model, not peer-reviewed, and there's
