The latest issue of Bicycling just arrived and there's an article about chain lube that's, well, about as interesting as an article on chain lube will ever get. The main point of the article is that dipping your chain in wax is a much better method of protecting you chain; mind you, it's necessary to take of the lube that came with the new chain, which is only there to protect it from rusting while it sits on a shelf at a dealership.

My Bike Friday came with Conti Contact tires many years ago. They are getting worn out, so I'm in the market for new tires and not finding much in the right size, which is 20" x 1 3/8. The Contacts have done right by me; I would buy the same thing again if I could. Any recs for products and what size to switch to?

Hi.

I am planning to participate on the B-16 Fall Foliage #2 - Mianus this coming Saturday.

However, given the amount of vertical, I will be off the back pretty quick.

I'm looking for other riders that are interested in doing this ride, but a slower pace, around 13 - 14.

There is a waitlist for the ride, however, if you are interested, please sign up and let me know.

I will work with Neile to make sure you are approved as a rider.

Thanks

Here's a link to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall notice with detail on how to identify Shimano cranksets subject to inspection and possible replacement:

I ordered some clothing from Canyon.  They shipped by FedEx.  The package never came to my door.  FedEx shared a photo of  the package dropped in my building in the lobby by mailboxes.  I live on the 4th floor.  The package was stolen.  Does FedEx have an obligation to literally deliver it to me...at my door, as opposed to dropping it in the lobby?
