Bike Month

[csb]

Sometimes, the interstate IS the only road. Welcome to rural America, *******!

I would hope so.. i could have swore i saw bike signs on the interstate in Colorado but maybe it was just a limited access non federal road?

Yep, if you're crazy enough to ride your bike next to 75mph semi-trucks, we'll let you do it...

Man, would this be cool or I am a Gigantic *********

Well, I dragged the old Giant Iguana out of its resting place in the basement and pumped the tires up. Didn't ride it yet. I figure after 15 years of sitting, it made need some oil on the chain.

Looks good, though.

I got a couple of good rides in this week, but my rear derailleur is clicking loudly. It needs some work done, and my local bike shop takes at least a week to get to bikes (they are busy, not lazy). I need to take it in sometime soon for a tune up.

I looked up a lot of stuff on adjustment of derailleurs, and it is quite easy...if you have a bike rack. It's damn near impossible if you don't have a purpose-built support that will hold the rear wheel off the ground while you rotate the pedal and operate the shifter with your hands. Believe me...I tried. I guess I could spring for a cheap bike rack, but I'd rather just have it done by the local bike shop.

^That's why I'm thinking about this: http://www.amazon.com/RAD-Cycle-Products-Optimum-Stand/dp/B009NK0YUE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2MKYTQ4VWFY0W&coliid=INEDR0SZW901

It's much cheaper to hire a hooker for an hour to just hold the bike up in the air for you.

As long as they follow OSHA rules...

A small nylon strap hooked to the G-string should be sufficient...

So THAT'S what I can do with the other 45 minutes...
