MexicanDragon Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 that's not the headcase answer at allDon't let Dan's retort get to you, Sir Stretch...We all know kids should start out on Walmart bikes.**BRENT**P.S. I can't wait til Wednesday when my new indoor colorblind glasses come in so I can tell if that is orange or green.

Grahame Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 Does this mean that you have become a MAMIL, to join in, Stretch? http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-10965608 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/sep/11/mamil-middle-aged-men-in-lycra http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2869069/Oh-shame-married-MAMIL-s-Middle-Aged-Man-Lycra.html " Buying an expensive road bicycle has been described as a more healthy response to a midlife crisis than buying an expensive sports car " This being Head-Case ....
MexicanDragon Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 We can help with buying the road bike. You should buy Chris' since he doesn't ride anymore; it's rather nice.**BRENT**Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk 1
Dreadhead Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 I will never sell my Calfee. The others are possible but unlikely And I do still ride just not much. This year has been awful with the being sick in one form or another since March
MexicanDragon Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 First ride of the year. Shows 39.7 miles from the watch, but it died right at the end. It's showing a little under 1000 ft of climbing, but my Edge 200 is showing a little over 2000. in 40.00 miles exactly (yeah, we planned that,) but we did have 3 hours on the road. We also got lost and rode around trying to find our way home for a while. Eventually called and got help, but man, that was a good day in the saddle, even if it was a bit tough on us. https://www.strava.com/activities/832171595 **BRENT** 3

It never crossed their mind to find out where the battery was, disconnect it, get the bike off and then reconnect the battery? They must (ought to) have a spanner or multitool in their toolkit? Last year an idiot farmer terminated the end of the fence onto a steel kissing gate on a right of way. That was quite exciting getting though! 1
VPI Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Finally found a use for the Cervelo and the gaming system. Need some setup as it is way off on the power meter and my Vectors seem to be dead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7
fat joey Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 I know why I'm getting older and older, but I don't know why I'm fatter and fatter. I'm already 250 lb, and my height is 1.67m. I want to buy a bicycle, do I need a big one? How big do I need? Should I wear something to protect my head? It's bold, and smooth, I think it helps the air flowing during high speed. But I doubt I could make the bike running at that kinds of speed.
swt61 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 Once again Dan, your insight is incredible.
MexicanDragon Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 Bike shopping with Xavier today. He fits a medium Kona. I'm getting old.More than we want to spend since he isn't a huge mountain biker, but it's high on the list. If you think the bike looks cool, you'll ride it, right?**BRENT** 6

MexicanDragon Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 He was too fast for me to get a great cell phone shot, but we had the maiden voyage on the new road bike. He loves it, and I don't blame him.**BRENT** 7
morphsci Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 So I will need to buy a receiver mounted bike carrier for one or two (max) bikes. I am too lazy to search so what are the best options in terms of quality and ease of use based upon actual use?
MexicanDragon Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 The best options seem to be the Küat NV 2.0, with many bells/whistles. Friend got one and went on a cross country drive with his bike. Lots of guys here have the first gen.Another good option people like is the 1Up USA rack. They have 1/2 bike options with expandability if you need it later.I don't own either but have used both, and those are the ones I'd decide between myself.**BRENT**Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk 1
grawk Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 The 1up is the way to go, without a doubt. 2
jose Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 I have a Thule and I'm very happy with it included when I drive off road. I don't know if in EEUU you need differents technicals espec. But where in EU Thule is the best option. 1
MexicanDragon Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Since Jeff claimed that Raffy is single-handedly keeping the bike scene on HC afloat, I present evidence of another 5' tall cyclist.Xavier's new ride.It's the largest small I've ever seen, measuring 17" C-T. Site said 16", but we are using a shorter post for the time being. This should last him for a few years.Al, is it Joe Breeze who is a neighbor? If so, it'd be cool to know Xavier's bike's namesake is just down the road.**BRENT** 3
Augsburger Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Having trouble getting motivated to ride lately with all the activities going on and the weekend fencing tournaments. I am committing to start pushing myself beginning this weekend. We shall see how long this lasts. Then again... 1

VPI Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Signing up for the Bike the Drive event on a carless Lakeshore Drive. Any locals or HC Cycling Team travelers interested in attending? http://bikethedrive.org/ 3
Dreadhead Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Enjoy it! I haven't ridden in at least a month. Too much car stuff going on. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
