| Go ahead, guess who's bike that is... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I don't know either, but I do know it ain't mine!!! It's there because it's just the coolest looking bike that has ever been built, in my opinion. Actually, there was also a model that was blue with some really slick white decals which I liked better, but I couldn't find a decent picture of that one. Of course, it's got to be loaded with Shimano, never any Crappy (oops, I meant Campy)...it could also use some nicer hoops, go for a set of Rolf wheels. |

| Ok, no pics of my bikes yet, but here's a piece of my mountain bike. This is what the front derailleur looks like after you get a branch stuck in the drivetrain and keep pedaling. I do not recommend it. The chain somehow twisted and snapped, but only after the branch had been pulled in enough to mangle the derailleur. It is bent in so far that it got caught in the small chainring!!! ...but it was an awesome ride anyway, not to mention the long hike back to my truck :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My current rides are a Trek 2200 for the roads and an Ibex Apogee XT for the mountains. The picture above is my Softride mountain bike, now retired with a cracked frame (hey, I rode it for 14 years and the frame gave way to metal fatigue). Cycling is a great sport, with the added bonus that it keeps me out of trouble!!! LOL | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is a really cool web site if you like physics and techy stuff. Everything is related to cycling. Find out cool stuff like why you can ride around a velodrome faster just by being taller, even with the same amount of effort. Find out why it's good to have short shins (hint - you get more power to the pedals). It's also got massive information on static/dynamic forces, power data, aerodynamics, etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
