Show us your bike

I just got these short fingered:


And these pull overs for cooler weather:
($23 on sale, of course)

does that left pull over have a computer in it? Looks like there is an on switch on your index finger.

Would you ride this? Before answering, watch the whole thing.

I didn't need to watch the whole thing to say no way

I want to enjoy my retirement...might be a plan if I have some terminal disease though....
 
Wanted:

A decent used medium Giant Trance (26") for my kid to ride, 2007 or newer (the lighter frame) in good, serviceable condition. For my 15 year old son who is a strong nordic and alpine skier, strong runner, and learning to really mountain bike. Looking to spend somewhere around 5-8 hundred and like that geometry and ride for what he is going to do. Similar production bikes might work too, but I know the trance will work as his older brother has one and it fits the bill.

Took Ol' Bessie out for a ride, proudly displaying my new MTB "preserve our trails" plates. The money from these plate sales is actually supposed to get to a decent place to get some good things done. Good to be back out on the trail!

Not my bike, but here is a link to some good reading. Nice to get some inspiration from our elders for keeping the thing going!

^^^^ Yeah, @Tig , ned's another one.


Also, I would like to see some coverage on the free-riders and adventurers out there that are middled aged and up as well, in addition to the racing/competition set. I know from experience that they are out there. :)

I can't do that anymore. I am "enjoying" the beginnings of hip bursitis now. F*cking hard to sleep.
 
Here's my current ride:



It's a Gt Tachyon 3.0 Craigslist special. I had my LBS build a stronger rear wheel (I was breaking spokes) and added the panniers and lights -- a 350 lumen Nightrider in front and a thunderbolt in back. I use it mainly for commuting to work -- I live about 13 miles away -- and to go to soccer fields for refereeing on weekends. So, I have the two Axiom Seymour LX panniers to hold my stuff -- they're getting pretty worn so I'll probably replace 'em with Seymour DLX bags soon.
 
I can't do that anymore. I am "enjoying" the beginnings of hip bursitis now. F*cking hard to sleep.

Occasionally my multiple joint pains get to me, but most of the time I don't notice it.
That's the one plus to having decades of chronic pain... You just get used to it.

What sucks is that my hip joint pain is a solid 6 - 7 scale when riding. :mad:
