Exactly. Sometimes we really get hung up on bike weight and for me it makes

I can't say specifically for the Seattle area, but I'd look to sailbag

You need someone with a sewing machine that can go through that

around here in the midwest, though I do enjoy some good rollers.

I drill/file a notch into the fender and rubber washer and rotate it towards
the rear of the bike to allow for proper drainage. Also, the setup is fork

I'm happy to BART across the bay, head up through Marin. Or any other
way you have fallen in love with. It would be nice avoid huge trucks,
mondo hills and traveling way out of the way as much as possible.
Thanks.

Holy Cow!..The only way one bicycle is (noticeably) faster
than another is if your position is more aerodynamic. Tire size can
make a difference but bike weight (unless it is considerable) can only
make a difference in a climb. The real difference is how hard you

I looked at the data for all rides this year. It's not scientific at all, as
