Does anyone have an old style 'wheel on trainer' they would be interested to sell? On Sunday, September 6, 2020, 12:52:34 PM PDT, Robert

Wow! You guys really are the best! Even Goldman. ;-) I appreciate the avalanche of quality information and now I have a lot to digest. I was out doing Census work today and glancing at the

Mike, here is my two cents. I’ve used the Lemond bike in my gym (very similar to Peleton). It’s ok, but lacks the realism that Zwift provides riding with real people. I much prefer zwift over

My two cents..... When Julie had shoulder issues and could not ride outside I got her a Tacx Vortex smart trainer. We coupled it with Zwift. Here are the pluses as I see it: 1. You get to ride your

Hey Mike Good to hear from you. I just bought and am using my new indoor Keiser.com bike. It’s $2,000 and received it in four days. You have an option of using other software like Zwift etc for

Hi everybody! As we are fond of saying in Reno, winter is coming. (That’s pretty catchy!). I am still trying to get back in shape after last year’s calamity so I am considering buying an

Mike et al, that giant pothole has been there for months. I reported it to the Public Works dept, but they appear to have higher priorities than protecting the welfare of cyclists, so we must all

Louis and I rode down Calaveras Rd from the Wall to Piedmont/Evans Road today. There was a very nasty pothole in the road right at Downing Rd. Please be aware and careful at that junction because it

I was on Portola Road in Portola Valley today and there was a sign indicating that Portola Road will be closed on 8/4/2020. Might be good to avoid on that day. Mike

Maybe they will also take out that silly stop sign at Old Calaveras. Not holding my breath though.-- Mark

Just got a notice that "Starting September 9th, the city will begin to repave Piedmont Rd. for additional function and beautification. The city anticipates the road work will be completed by December

Thought I was all done with vintage Avocet computers so I donated everything. A friend just gave me a very old Avocet computer without the magnet hub ring, and pickup holder. Does anybody have one

Both balance bikes have been spoken for. Dave Ransom

Along the lines of my other post, I have two balance bikes that are not getting any mileage. One has 12" wheels and the other 16" wheels. These are free. If you know of a wee one that can use these
