Any Di2 experts out there?
My bike was (almost!!) stolen just outside the Metro North 125th Station about 2 PM Saturday!
When the perp realized that he was not going to win the tug o war with me over the bike and his friends weren't coming to his aid, he gave up. There were a number of people & 2 (empty?) police cars at the scene.
E bikes on bike paths
Wall St Journal writer cycled on both sides of Hudson between New York & Tarrytown/Nyack using Cuomo bridge
She wrote nice long piece with color photos and map drawing including scenery, animal sightings, touristic points of interest & culinary highlights.
She thought that the "best terrain of the trip was the Tarrytown-Yonkers Old Croton Aqueduct trail" She covered 72 miles in 3 days.

Di2 with smart trainer
Does anyone notice shifting problems when using Di2 on smart (wheel on) trainer. My shifting is a mess and I don't know if it's a simple adjustment.
Does anyone know of anypne who services these things? You can't exactly ride into your local shop. What a PITA.
Thanks

A universal bike?
I would like to buy a bike to use in Chile (retirement in the off season, Nov. - March? where it will be summer). I want to buy only one bike. In a perfect world, it could do road, cyclocross, gravel and tris. Yes, I know...a fantasy, but… If I bought a disc brake cyclocross, with 33mm tires, could I drop down to 28mm for the road, and up to…37+ for gravel? For tris, I would just slap on some aerobars temporarily. Yes, it would never be perfect for any one discipline, but everything in life is a compromise, and dragging my NY bikes back and forth is a hassle and not cheap. Any suggestions, brands, models?

Beer in the Shower
Anybody else here remember NYCC member Doug Blackburn (Jody and Christie)?
When Doug described having a beer in the shower after a ride in 1985 I thought he was a genius. Turns out he was 35 years ahead of his time.
