Look yourself up under the member directory; When you click on your name, there'll be a number in the URL. That's your user number. I'm #25; I must have beaten Gummee by all of 5 minutes. I'm "Oznerol" over there; I'm probably going to request a name change to match, here.
No, I'm NOT gonna get you a beer. You'll hafta google for yer own nekkid pics of Stick Me. (they're out there ) M
I think it will slow down some, but this is still a favorite web site, so this will be a place I come back to.
was organized bedlam. Good workout though ! Had well over 50 folks showup. Would do it again for sure.
Do you guys have a lot of events in your area? I think my problem is my small town of 6000 people and not many other riders and we are an hour away from the bike shops and the organized events.
one of the few good things about the over populating of Florida. Yes many events. Will be attempting the "hilly hundred" next weekend. Yes you read it right Hilly in Florida.
I was in Florida once, and the only hills were the sand castles that people built on the beach and I would hate riding in the sand.
OK, I took what most of you said and spent the money on a good road shoe that fit and also a good pedal/cleat setup. I bought Pearl Izumi Juice R2 shoes and Shimano RD-7800 (Dura-Ace) pedals and cleats. I also purchased some Pearl Izumi socks that are supposed to help with the sweat. Thanks for helping me remove more money from my wallet.
I'll build a flea market thread over there when we get enough traffic. Thanks for the help getting it going. I think in the end it's probably better to do it than to have cycling be a subforum of Jo Momma. We'll see.
It seems to be starting out nicely, I've sent out a bunch of PM's on my other boards to see if we can get some other-than-ADV folks signing on.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (BRAIN)A Salon.com story went after U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters for anti-bike remarks she made on PBS's "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer." Salon's Katharine Mieszkowski wrote: "Peters spoke against a proposal to raise gas taxes to shore up the nation's aging infrastructure. The real problem, the secretary argued, is that only 60 percent of the current money raised by gas taxes goes to highways and bridges. She conveniently neglected to mention that about 30 percent of the money goes to public transit. She then went on to blast congressional earmarks, which dedicate 10 percent of the gas tax to some 6,000 other projects around the country." "There are museums that are being built with that money, bike paths, trails, repairing lighthouses. Those are some of the kind of things that that money is being spent on, as opposed to our infrastructure," Peters said on the show. The secretary added that projects like bike paths and trails "are really not transportation."
