I live in the United States and would like to purchase a Trek which is sold only in Europe (why do you guys always get the good stuff?). Can anyone give me a link for a dealer I could order from?

For the commute to work (if warm enough), cheap Chinese cruiser. I lock it up outside and don't worry anyone touching it, since it is so cheap. This thing blows off all the stress of the workday on the way home, and for this I owe it a world of gratitude. For the trails, I have an '03 Santa...

My eyes are terrible, and I have no choice but to ride with glasses or sunglasses. I suppose you should ride with something to protect your eyes, no matter what, but I want my peripheral vision back. I've decided to get laser surgery to correct the problem. I won't be able to do it until...

First bike, age four. Made my dad take off those training wheels. I've been riding ever since, with a short hiatus in my early twenties (the only time I've ever been overweight). I don't know the brand of my first bike, it was just red and little. Bought myself a Diamond Back BMX when I was...

I ski, but have heard that snowboading is easier. Is this true? I'd really like to try it.

Too bad you're not pushing for bike paths instead. We have many in my town, and except for where they intersect roads, it's just you and other cyclists. I know how you feel, I have been hit as well. But boudreaux is right, you should not ride your bike down the sidewalk. People are not...

Okay, girls, after reading all this, check out these sites: http://www.womenstandtogo.com/productimage.htm and http://jkelland.trustpass.alibaba.com/10429637/10565455/Disabilities/EeZeeWee.html Now you too can pee from your bike if needed. The first has an eight inch hose, they don't say...

Thank you, Stiff Upper Lip, you are a true gentleman.

Very impressive. I saw that contest and thought no way could I win that. Maybe next year.....

Pick your Poopy?:eek: I'm sure you must mean Poppy?

"Beijing Bicycle" is a pretty good one. Shows just how much a person will do for a bike, even a crappy Chinese one (no offense, anyone, those mass produced bikes are the same no matter where they come from....)

Why do I love to ride? Because there is nothing like it in the whole world that makes me feel so high!

He wanted me to get it, but I was hesitant at first to drop over 2k for a bike. I'm the one who thought of all the things we could do to our house with that money. I'm so glad he did encouraged me to get it (best bike I've ever owned - Santa Cruz Heckler), I ended up getting one for him for...

I know I'm going to get booed and hissed at for this, but how about some flat pedals (which you can get fairly cheap) until you become a better rider! If you are concentrating on clipping in all the time, you won't truly be able to focus on all those roots and rocks, especially on the hills. I...

I was a grip shift fan till I got my brain in gear (no pun intended) with my thumb and forefinger. Now that I can shift without thinking, the rapid fires live up to what they're called. Shifting is faster and smoother, thus giving more control on the trail. The only reason I started out with...
