Tomorrow I'm taking my road bike out for a 72 mile ride with 5,500 feet of climbing, on hills that peak at over 20% gradient. Your suggestions on where I could fin that sort of route without being in the road would be welcome. Wouldn't you rather add some fun by dodging old ladies, children on tricycles and women pushing baby strollers as towerrat suggests?

So it's rude to slow you down? Bicycles have a legal right to be there. The roads were not built just for you. Your attitude is "...fucking rude and it's fucking dangerous".

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/01/cyclist-sentenced.html Fortunately in this case another cyclist filed a police report against this good doctor 30 days ahead of this despicable cowardly act that netted him 5 years in prison. The previous attempt showed a pattern of behavior.

Being involved in the cycling/racing community for over 20 years I can tell you that it happens way to often. Until the legal community steps in and makes an example of a few people it will continue to be a socially acceptable form of homicide.

Bonehead Revolve works great with glasses!

John, Thank you for posting John. You said, "The resere bag has been used for a lesser period of time, but no real problems". What do you mean by "...no real problems"? Sincerely, Racer 2K3 jumper

RSL anyone?

See Incident forum titled "sad incident". Have heard no additional information.

Please understand that this is third and fourth hand information that I received. Apparently he was on a base jumping expedition to the caves in Mexico. While rappelling to the bottom of the cave to scout out a landing sight something went wrong and he fell the last 300-400 feet. No other definitive information available at this point. I'm sure someone will post more information as it becomes available.
