I find it a little disheartening when I see so many bikers wearing spandex, it makes it seem less of an anyone-can-join thing and more of a only-serious-business thing.Kitsukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765914876283280210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456214920247105603.post-24347494906532442402011-11-02T14:37:20.464-07:002011-11-02T14:37:20.464-07:00I know what you're saying and have thought sim...I know what you're saying and have thought similar things myself but my conclusion is that at some point there will be so many people cycling that the few who break the law or do foolish things will be not so noticeable compared to the many who will be more lawful.<br /><br />If the system wants some people to follow it's rules then it needs to include those people in the system. Otherwise there's no incentive to conform. There's a long tradition of just trying to survive a system that doesn't have a place for you that things have been developed just to get around. We're now in a transition period with cycling. I look forward to someday no longer having to be an outlaw just to get to work.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456214920247105603.post-21908052443572171942011-06-16T12:15:23.485-07:002011-06-16T12:15:23.485-07:00Super chic!Super chic!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232157346482774504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456214920247105603.post-61522945200944527522011-06-02T22:44:12.900-07:002011-06-02T22:44:12.900-07:00PaddyAnne: Yes, we were out and about on Sunday. ...PaddyAnne: Yes, we were out and about on Sunday. I think we at least crossed that trail you're referring to at some point during the ride! Victoria sure does have a lot of inconvenient hills, which makes avoiding them like a strategic game. I'm finding it a lot less straighforward than riding in Vancouver's grid.<br /><br />Trevor: thanks!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076340455568742581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456214920247105603.post-62931956693775609252011-06-02T13:58:52.021-07:002011-06-02T13:58:52.021-07:00Good post Mandy...

If so, so was I! This is where I head on all of my rides in from the ferries as I am heading over past GHead, through the university and then drop into OakBay. This time round I found the UVic connector/Mt Doug bike trail and it softens some of the hills.(why didn't I find it before!!) .... I think I know the hill you are talking about! If we are thinking of the same one, I avoid it like the plague!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456214920247105603.post-25716876516832995662011-05-22T18:55:29.980-07:002011-05-22T18:55:29.980-07:00I saw the Abici bikes at Gigi B last weekend.

Next thing you know, you'll be desiring a Carradice bag or somesuch to go with it!<br /><br />I agree with Trevor, once the saddle is broken in, it's awesome. Getting the appropriate saddle is also key, and a B72 definitely works for a bike like that. (By the way, beautiful bike. What kind is it?)<br /><br />And I also use a shower cap as a seat cover! It's inexpensive and does the job. I did get an official Brooks cover once, but I lost it. And I heard they don't work that well anyway.adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456214920247105603.post-79322897492613786532011-04-17T13:54:01.745-07:002011-04-17T13:54:01.745-07:00Cute!
