    Post your BooBoo's

    Went riding at Baldpate today, took a spill and couldn't get a foot down. Stiff armed the Earth and lost. Snapped the head off my left radius. Stay tuned for pictures once I figure out how to take a picture of x-ray transparencies. Sent typing one handed from my couch.

    Looking for a Bike for a Short Man.

    Ok, so now that I have found one friend a bike, they all want bikes. Sigh. Looking for another hardtail 26er. Intended rider is less than 5'3", about 140lbs. Approximate budget- $400. I will personally throw in $10 if the bike has streamers on the handles.

    Pedaling for Change

    Bucks County Bikes is running a charity bike log through September. For every mile you log with them, they donate $0.01 to either Bikes Belong or the Bike Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (your choice). http://www.leepirtle.com/buckscounty/milelog/index.cfm So, is anyone doing it? I...

    Wanted: White Elephant Bike for a Friend

    When I wrote this up I didn't expect to find a single bike. That sounds like exactly what he is looking for. Pics please?

    Wanted: White Elephant Bike for a Friend

    So a friend of mine has heard my stories of daring idiocy and has decided that he wants to take up mountain biking. He was into BMX as a child, and regularly fails to see the difference between the two. He has enlisted my assistance in finding him some wheels. His (original) reqirements...

    Surly Karate Monkey Single Speed

    I have had my eye on one of these for awhile. But size large will not work for me. Sad face.

    Free Sony Trinitron 36"

    I have one of these. Shockingly good picture for an old tube TV. Does weigh about as much as a small moon though.

    Droid X.....and extended battery.

    I thought the X2 was still 2.2? For what it is worth folks- the Droid X is an awesome phone. I wish I could have gotten mine for $75.

    29er guys

    I felt significantly faster when I switched to my 29er last year. Now of course, the only possible explanation here is the wheel size. It isn't the fact that I went from linear pull to hydraulic discs, from steel to aluminium, and from max one day a week in the saddle to minimum three. It...

    Free Bike

    Sounds like a great idea, but this bike is by no means in working condition, let alone good working condition. Portland, do you know how rough shape they are taking donations in?

    Free Bike

    This is my old (I think 2006?) Raleigh Mojave 2.0. Was my only form of transportation through most of college, and I also had a bit of fun riding White Clay and Judge Morris in Delaware. After I broke the rear axle for the second time I gave up on my self maintaining ways and bought a new...

    Healthy Snack/Meal Options

    BIG fan of this edamame dip, I usually add way more chili paste, and scale down the miso. Have dipped pretty much everything in it. Veggies, tortilla chips, Trisciuts, pita, etc. Also I find the lime blends with the other flavors better than lemon...

    begginers group ride

    I'm in. And I would also like to speak up for not-crazy early. And Sunday rides. I've poked around 6 Mile but I would really like to go with someone who knows the place well, I know I am missing a lot.

    Help with a bike rack

    Like I said earlier, mine is about 7 years old. Before that it was used by my dad to transport the whole family's bikes on vacation. 4 bikes on a rack designed for three. So I have some faith in it's ability to hold my one bike. I agree with Luke, go for the three-strap kind. Much more...
