She's tethered in, I also find it inhibits her ability to affect steering by moving around too much. Lum, it's a choice for sure, she'd get injured if I did, most likely, so we all try our best to avoid that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Of course I don't want you all getting hurt either but you all have the ability to make that choice for yourself about riding. The dog doesn't. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

My dog rides in a tote bag in my basket. I tether her harness to the stem so she doesn't go flying if I stop short. She's very tolerant of long rides, I think because she hates being left behind. Obligatory photo: https://www.instagram.com/p/BUNvsR5gort/?taken-by=bread_palace

That basket/bag combo worries me. My little guy tried to hop out front two days ago when I didnt have him tethered. I think the shock taught him a lesson and he wont be doing it again. We're still new to this lol. On Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at 12:09:13 AM UTC-4, Antone Könst wrote: > >

Hey Brad - no, no food co-op for me...haven't actually seen another Cheviot around, to my surprise. I guess it's scary to lock up a riv in the city, if I had my way I'd get mine sand-blasted and let it get a little rusty to potentially deter thieves (and it looks beautiful, I think) CT

Wow, nice job. I never thought the five boroughs ride was a century but makes since when I look at the GPS map you posted. I had the same trouble with my chain dropping to the outside when I made my triple crank into a 1 x 9. I'm running a 36 tooth chainring that I picked up at the LBS it's

Hi Antone, There's a guy who shops at the Bushwick Food Co-op who rides a Cheviot. Is that you? Brad Queens On Sunday, September 17, 2017 at 11:21:18 AM UTC-4, Antone Könst wrote: > > Thanks for the responses! > > Definitely want to check out this ride 'up north' - thanks for the link! > >

Thanks for the responses! Definitely want to check out this ride 'up north' - thanks for the link! BTW I don't think many of the stats on the map screenshot I posted are correct...I've never used a speedometer but 44mph seems really fast, even down a hill, right? I don't really care about

Awesome. One hundred miles is a lot to do without "training," but as you have shown, it's not impossible! And by making the mental shift from "training" to "just riding" your attention stays completely on the ride at hand. My experience has been that if most of your riding is "training" for

Congrats! I drove up to the Botanical Gardens with my wife's family on Sunday, and saw a good number of Century riders. I spotted two Hillbornes, and I *think* I saw a Road custom. Looked like a blast. The crowds have kept me away, but every year, I regret not doing it. On Tuesday,
