Continue reading →: Cool new bikes at the TdF
Roadcycling.com – Cycling news – It’s a secret … sorta. Great article about new bicycles. Good picture of the Trek Madone 5.9. Also, Cannondale has a bike that weighs just 14.8 lbs (!!!!). And, the new Campagnolo Record Carbon apparently has different directions for their carbon fiber, so a derailleur…

a little ludwig goes a long way: The Most Popular Magazines. Proving once again how out of the mainstream this geek is, Ludwig found the top 10 magazines in terms of ad page growth. I know fewer than he does. What the heck is “Lucky”:http://luckymag.com (The Magazine about Shopping), “More”:http://www.more.com/,…

Continue reading →: Ritchey Break-Away
It’s amazing, but there is actually something called *The Folding Society* that reviews folding bicycles. Here are some other notes on the Ritchey Break-Away folding frame. “Excel”:http://www.excelsports.com/new.asp?page=8&major=1&minor=1&description=Break%2DAway+Frame&vendorCode=RITCHEY carries them for $1,100, so quite a bit cheaper than getting an all custom frame with S&S couplers (about $1,600+400 for steel from…

I got the Polar s720i and got it working. It’s an incredibly complicated watch that is hard to operate. I’ve been using the Campagnolo Ergobrain with a Polar heart rate monitor with good success, but this means just one device (so it is lighter) and also includes power. Main disadvantage…

Cascade Bicycle Club: Group Health Group Health Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic. This was my first ever bicycling event (heck, I think I calculated, it is the second organized event I’ve ever attended…yes, I’m a nerd). In any case, 200 miles or so of riding. It was great to meet…

“Critical Vote”:http://cascade.org/Advocacy/I-90.cfm. If you live in the King County area and think it’s great you can actually get across Lake Washington, start to panic. Ron Sims and Connie Marshall both will vote on WSDOT and Sound Transit (ugh, oxymoron there!) plan to close the I-90 bike lanes for _two_ years…

The firmware page :: View topic – Sony DRU120A unusable after firmware upgrade. Yuck, I have this exact problem now. I used to be able to read double density DVD9s with the original firmware (1.13, thank goodness I backed up), but now with 1.51, it doesn’t read them. A DVD9…
