[RBW] Bike commuting in Los Angeles
I just got a job that will move me from NYC to LA this Sunday. Could be temporary, could be permanent. I'll be staying in Beverly Hills with my mother-in-law. The gig is 15 miles away on Hollwood Blvd. and Cahuenga. Is that rideable without killing myself? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Source for nice cycling posters (was: hiawatha posters)
There are several vintage poster shops down the street from me (NYC.) I can check in if you'd like. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Source for nice cycling posters (was: hiawatha posters)
I haven't been to this place, but they've got a lot of bicycle posters: http://216.71.72.116/1/post-query1.php I have been to this place: http://www.chisholm-poster.com/cgi-local/posters.cgi?universal=bicycle I know there are more in the city - I'll try to remember. Keep in mind these suckers are expensive because they're sold like artwork. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Protecting bike in bike storage room
Looks like I'm going to have to store my bike in my apartment's jam- packed bicycle room. It will be hanging from a hook, perilously close to another bicycle that could likely scratch the paint right off of my frame. Any tips for protecting my bike? Pipe insulation, etc? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com.

[RBW] My first S24O - in New York City!
Just found out that I'm going camping in Central Park next weekend. There's a lottery with the Parks Department, and we are one of thirty families that got in. The supply the tents and food; we supply everything else, which means the sleeping bags and pads are going on my bike. Time to get a basket! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com.

[RBW] Wool socks for summer
I've finally decided that life is too short to wear crappy socks. I'm not just talking about biking, I'm talking about all the time. My feet stink to high hell, but I have been wearing these bargain basement cotton jobbers, so that's part of the rub. I love the idea of a 100% wool sock, but I don't know how practical that is. Has anyone tried the Kangaroo Socks from Rivendell? Or do you have another source for great socks? Plus, if I could get something in white to wear with shorts, my wife would be less inclined to make fun of my sartorial choices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Hobbies that compliment your Rivendell lifestyle
You're an all-steel, tweed, canvas and shellac kind of guy/girl. Has owning a Rivendell opened you up to new hobbies? I've always been a fly-fisherman. Last summer, I took a week-long class in the Catskills and built my own bamboo fly rod. I'm hooked now (hell yes, pun intended!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Frost River is also back in business, and they are making the panniers again, or so they said in the email.

[RBW] Re: suggestions on avoiding stir craziness
If you ride your bike to feel wanderlust, my favorite sedentary version of that is John Steinbeck's Travels With Charley. On man. One camper. And one dog.

[RBW] Re: Best Bag ever
I shopped for a long time to get the right messenger bag/laptop bag. I found my from acmemade.com. It's Italian canvas and super nice with leather trim.

I can certainly get a Nigel Lil Loafer, but it is slightly different looking than the baggins big loafer I already have. I just wanted a set to match.
