Hey Jim, again depending on the weather I put a vote in for Point
Reyes, the riding out there is great, some guerilla camping if youre up
to it. And best of all, I feel like regardless of the weather, god or
bad, there shouldnt be a ton of car/foot traffic out there. It doesnt

Nice score Jeremy, quickbeams and simpleones are such a neat design. I
really like the bullmoose set up too- I wouldn't worry about the rusting
underneath the clearcoat if it isn't too bad.By the looks of it
Vince@Riv was right, the simpleone would have been way too small for you.

Jim,
Please consider the Big Basin state park. Great camping, big redwoods and
access to alot of country roads and the coast too!

Is it the peculiar Dutch cycling infrastructure that causes more cycling in
The Netherlands, or vice versa? Do Denmark and Germany have such
infrastructure?
Not being snarky, but I rather suspect that the main criterion for cycling
growth is the number of cyclists.

Agreed. A very annoying response. The O.P. asked for our advice. Looming
through the posts above, just about all say to contact Riv., but also share
experiences with the issue.
If someone does not want to hear about other's experience or knowledge on an

Great looking QB! How do you like those tires? I bought some but haven't
mounted them yet.
I think it's time to schedule a Bay Area QB ride (others welcome, of
course).

The other brand I like is DZR, from san Francisco. They have the spd sole

They are cool, and useful, for sure.
But here in Maryland, you never see men with neckerchiefs. They look out
of place on a man. But that is probably because I have only seen cowboys
and maybe train engineers with them on the necks.
