  1. www.FINDMEABICYCLE.COM <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> FindMeABicycle.com: a great new resource for helping you purchase your next bicycle A new web site, called FindMeABicycle.com (http://www.findmeabicycle.com/), is a great new tool for both experienced and novice bicyclists as they plan their next bicycle purchase. There is nothing for sale on FindMeABicycle.com. Nor is there a fee to use the site. It is simply intended to be a free helpful service for helping you decide on your next bicycle. FindMeABicycle.com provides two features that you won't find anywhere else: a simple step-by-step check list on how to purchase a bicycle, including a guide that will help the user decide on the ideal type of bike (mountain, road, hybrid, etc.) based on the needs of the user; and comprehensive lists of virtually every type, make and model of bike on the market today. The lists, compiled from more than 100 bike manufacturers, contain information on more than 2,600 bike models. The lists are organized by 15 different types of bike: mountain, road, hybrid, bmx, touring, tandem, recumbent, women's, single speed, youth, track, cruiser, time trial, cyclocross, and folding. The lists of bicycle models are further broken down by frame material, suspension system, and price. FindMeABicycle.com won't replace the local bike shop, but will prove to be an extremely valuable resource for anyone who's in the market to buy a bike.
  2. Anyone using a sprag clutch My wife can't handle my cadence and often gets bounced out the saddle so I'm considering this as an alternative to wrecking my knees by riding bigger gears JB - is there a down-side to this [A sprag is a one-way freewheel clutch used in a number of applications. It resembles a roller bearing with rollers shaped like a figure eight and cocked with a spring. When the unit rotates in one direction, the rollers stand up and bind because of oil friction, and when the unit is rotated in the opposite direction, the rollers slip or freewheel.]

  6. 11:48 - FOUR RIDERS ON THE BREAK At kilometre 12, four riders have managed to break away from the pack: Mathieu Sprick (BTL), Steven Kleynen (LAN), Marco Pinotti (THR) and Alexander Serov (TCS). (and that's my last update) http://www.letour.fr/2008/FWH/LIVE/us/100/depeches.html
  7. 11:44 - PACK AT km 10 The pack has reached the tenth kilometre. Several riders have tried to break away in vain. So far the main field remains bunched.

Just keep it clean, don't abuse any sponsors, and remember anything you sell must be accompanied by picture of said item on a couch of your choosing. eish: edit we have a shammy rash already - so I guess this one is Shammy Creamcyclenut2008-04-23 00:30:57

  22. Cycling legend Lance Armstrong is opening his own bike superstore. Dubbed Mellow Johnny?s, after Armstrong?s racing nickname, the 18,000 sq foot store is aimed at getting more people riding in Armstrong?s home town of Austin, Texas. Top end Trek bikes, similar to those Armstrong rode on his seven consecutive Tour de France victories, will be available. But Armstrong wants the shop to have wide appeal, and also plans to sell mountain bikes, commuter bikes, fixed wheels, low riders, handmade one-offs, triathlon bikes and more. The shop will also provide lockers and showers for Austin?s bike commuters. Armstrong?s vision is to make Austin a cycling city, in the same vein as Portland, Oregon. But he admits there?s a lot of work to be done first. He told his local paper, the Austin American Statesman: ?"There are times I ride in Austin, and I'm afraid of cars. "Imagine what the beginner cyclist must feel like? I think (Mayor) Will Wynn's dream was this whole revitalization of downtown, which we're getting, but it's going to make it a lot easier if people can get around on bikes." Big brands to be sold in the shop beside Trek include Nike, Giro and Oakley. There will be coffee on tap and bike mechanics at work on the shop floor who?ll answer any technical questions customers may have. There will be some memorabilia from Armstrong?s glory days in the shop, but the aim isn?t for a museum vibe. In fact, Armstrong predicts that Mellow Johnny's will be "the coolest bike shop in the world". But, despite his mammoth plans, he insists he doesn?t want to see off Austin?s smaller bike shops. "It's not us versus them," he told the Statesman. "We're all about the cycling culture." Although it?s some way from opening, a vacant 1950s building has been earmarked for the project and local architect Michael Hsu has created a masterplan. Work on site started in February and is expected to go on through the summer. The store is just north of the Lance Armstrong Bikeway, a path that will cut east-west through downtown Austin.

  23. Hey change your signature' date=' it is duplicated by WW and she had hers first. No, Only kidding, at least it shows we see all.[/quote'] Thanks. I never saw it on WW's profile.
