Rod, NICE! I stopped into Old Spokes Home this past Saturday. No Island Line trail for me this year. I was out riding the Quickbeam just a bit north and east of that on the Missisquoi Valley trail and around Franklin. I hope to get back next year. CHEERS! Wally On Monday, August 26,

Don't think so. The mini-Abus is a serious deterrent. The U piece does not rotate like the other brands. One has to cut both sides of the U bar to free the bike. And the pits make removing wheels or adjusting the seat almost impossible. If you put a pit-stopper in the stem bolt, they can't

Friday, I was looking for parking near the Museum of Craft and Design in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco and this Quickbeam was nice enough to be holding a spot for me. https://goo.gl/photos/58JugpTC24W3LJdm6 Very nice bike. John On Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 11:10:56 AM

Hi Tom, that was probably me. I would love to ride anytime. I try to get out everyday time permitting. Give me a call/text on my cellphone and lets do it. My number is (310) 968-6910 and I live on the east side of Carmel Creek Park. Cheers, Bruce On Sun, Nov 8, 2015 at 7:30 PM, Tom Virgil

That's really cool. I don't see many around here in San Diego. If I do see a Riv occasionally but they kind of keep quiet and to themselves. Primarily I see a lot of road/tri riders up and down the coast racing each other, running stop signs and lights to keep their Strava times down. All the

Aw, I was hoping to see my orange Cheviot included in the sightings. Had a great ride Saturday from the Richmond Bay area to Berkeley for lunch, then around the Bay Trail. Such a beautiful day. We don't get to have rides like that without generally starting off with a car trip, so really enjoy

This is easy to fix. Get pitlocks for the wheels, a piitstopper for the bars and seat, a micro U-lock (Abus) for the frame. Total cost, less than $200. Security = 100%. Nobody will get your bike. On Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 2:13:57 PM UTC-6, Daniel D. wrote: > > Wow, I get the heebie

That sounds pretty good and what I'm willing to do/carry but I'd say that's 65% security :p. If a thief wants your bike they're getting your bike. On Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 4:30:51 PM UTC-8, Will wrote: > > This is easy to fix. Get pitlocks for the wheels, a piitstopper for the > bars and

Hello Bruce and valued member of the Smitham family. I believe I see you from time to time on Carmel Valley Road between I5 and the coast. I am usually returning from science park up in Torrey Pines (in a car) where I now work after something of a career change. That's another topic. I
