Hi,

Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for Biking tours/Groups in Alaska. I'm thinking of going in late summer.

Thanks!

I'm looking to do a kidback conversion for our Bike Friday tandem this late spring/summer, and I think the main thing I need in terms of hardware is a pair of crank shorteners.

Before I buy them full retail, anyone have a used pair kicking around? This is the model I have in mind (the one for wider cranks): http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=405644

Thanks!

I might have taken chances on conditions left over from the snow last Tuesday but they say more snow showers this afternoon. I need to find a place that delivers bagels.

It's the last saturday in january and that means the last Die Hard ride of the winter. We've had to cancel the last 2 weeks due to ice. It's time for a meaningless gesture. We're riding tomorrow no matter what.

Yes, it's snowing tonight and will be sloppy tomorrow. Yes, we've been targeted in the park by 5-0.

Screw it. Meeting at the Boathouse at 9am for laps on the MTB. Will go only as fast as conditions allow. If you want to join, be really careful getting to and from the park.

ps; look for "wake up and smell the sig" on the ride listing page every saturday in february starting next week.

Anyone have any idea of the conditions on 9W and/or River Rd.?

Thanks

Has anyone been in the park today? Is it ridable?

thanks in advance,

hw

I'm going to Arizona with my wife this Feb. 9th. She's going to a medical conference on Thursday all day and into the evening as well as half a day Friday so I have official wife permission to disappear on a bicycle and explore the area. Any suggestions welcome. I originally thought that with the huge reserves / parks in the general area I would rent a mountain bike and try mountain biking but I haven't found any information on routes whereas I've found several road biking clubs and their routes (there is a dirt path along the Arizona canal but that doesn't appeal; running through urban area you have the worst of off-road and on-road in one).

Hi Everyone: I am involved in a bike share proposal for NYC. We need two people to do mapping this weekend, preferably on their bike. Pay is $100 per day (8 hour day), or $12 an hour. You should know be very familiar with NYC, tourism, and be an extremely good bike handler. Information to be completed latest by Monday.
Please email me at [email protected] with your phone no., hrs avail.

I am going to Hawaii for work and I'm planning to tag a bike trip on to the end. Backroads and Bicycle Adventure are booked for the time I'm going. I've heard of only one other bike company Isle Orchid. Curious if anyone has ever done a trip with them or knows of any other Hawaii cycling companies to recommend.

Thanks for any info you may have! Jen

On my thirty mile pre-dawn ride this morning I was surprised by how clear of snow the roads are in this area. The area has over 20 inches of accumulated snow. On about 70 percent of my route I could see pavement. In some cases tertiary roads had 1 inch of snow and ice on them mostly because they saw little traffic yesterday. The roads are a little narrower than usual. Snow has been plowed and takes up a space about 3 feet out from the curb on each side of the road.

Amply studded tires will be needed.
