It's also the habit we developed when RBW Owner's and Internet-BOB were
hosted at bikelist.org. We always signed real name, city and state, which
is still sometimes in effect here, but fading. I skip it sometimes now,

I don't need to start covering my knees until the temps descend to about 50
F but I have various weights of knickers, tights, and a pair of MUSA long
cycling pants to mix and match as needed.
Why not a good pair of thick tights with nylon wind-stop panels? Or a thick
pair of cycling knickers?

If you look for pictures from the Riv garage sale you'll find them.
I think the concept of a gruppo would be cool. However to keep in line with the
ethos of the company one must wonder where and how they'd be made. So many
companies that create or design things get torn down around these and

I'm looking forward to the new roll on service for the long-distance

The only negative is, as far as I know, they still are only allowing the

So two physics teachers and 4 toptubes will be arriving in Portland the evening
