Jeff, I still ride occasionally with Jeff Bahnson's parents; his mother, Lauri Webber is also a Nationally-ranked cyclocross racer. We live in the same town. About ten years ago we were mountain biking at Jim Thorpe (Mauch Chunk State Park) in PA - Jeffrey was always amazingly tenacious. One...

Jeff, I just came up from the basement where I am rebuilding my daughter's Nishiki from 1978, (yet again!). She rides from Brooklyn to the Financial district in lower Manhattan for work, and back when her band is not touring. We've known this cyclocross kid for many years; and he was tearing...

Brendon, How tall are you and what length inseam pants do you buy? I have a customer who has known me since I had bike shops back in the '70s. He had hips replaced and was hoping to get back to bicycling; bought a brand new Giant TCR bike and never used it. Asked me about selling it for him...

I found Florida to be a difficult place to ride while I was cycling from St Augustine to Tampa/St Pete in 1976. Most roads had only about 6" of macadam to the right of the white line and usually loose sand if you pulled off the road to let a truck pass. By comparison, in Delaware the width of...

I am opposed to the roll-through laws being proposed. I can see no reason to exempt ourselves (cyclists) from the 'commonly followed' rules of the road. Not stopping amounts to laziness; you don't take short cuts in wrecking a tree; why take short cuts in cycling with as great a risk of injury...

I agree. Laws are laws and since we as cyclists have the same rights as cars to use the motorways we ALSO have the same responsibilities. I crossed this whole country and as a matter of principle stopped at every stop sign and red light. Often I'll chase down other cyclists who disregard...

Power rules in most societies. A several ton vehicle trumps a couple hundred pound bicycle and rider. A lot of folks feel like "cars own the roads", and seem to categorize bicycles as 'toys' and not serious commuting vehicles. Over the past 40 years of riding I have had close calls, and...

Jesse, If knees are an issue, spin lower gears, don't lug high gears. Jay, If you get knee pain after a certain amount of riding one of the common problems (if not fore and aft position of the seat) is weak piriformis muscles. Look into stretches and strengthening for the piriformis. Of...

Josh, I think you're right on the dates for that Peugeot. I closed my shop in 1985 and that is what the Peugeots looked like then. We rode twenty-year-old 1987 Trek 520s from Oregon back to Delaware in 2007. This is us at a friend's place in Corvallis the morning of the first day of our trip...
