Thanks to you all! You gave me some things to think about. Don't know if I will "upgrade" or not, but, I do have the itch for another bike. You all know how that is, I'm sure.

I bet this has been asked before, but: I'm looking into upgrading from aluminum. What are the pros and cons of Carbon Fiber verses Titanium frames?

If you're in it for the weight loss, be careful of becoming consumed with your weight. Don't worry so much about how much you weigh day to day. That can be a discouraging influence. RIDE for the sheer joy of riding! Eventually, you will surprise yourself to find you are doing more miles...

Last spring, riding around downtown, I talked to a bikecop. He asked me about my bike. I told him I bought it at a pawn shop. The cop told me he has seen stolen police department bikes at some of the pawn shops!

My guess is sub-consciously (in the minds of the other mom's) you are now serious competition and a potential threat to their own security.

Don't mean to add to your misery but: We're having some beautiful weather here in S/E Virginia, mid 80's (F), low humidity, sunny, ocean surf temp still in upper 70's (not good for hurricane development but great for swimming and surfing).

New current favorite I'm listening to a LOT now: Robben Ford!.....Got really beautiful tones out of his Les Paul, better than any I've heard, when he recently toured with Greg Allman.

Just saw Greg Allman in concert a couple weeks ago. He had a really great guitarist with him by the name of Robben Ford. Man could he make that Les Paul sing!

Yup, ya gotta wonder!.......The bill is regarding showing any undies and is not g-string specific.........Mercans aren't all stupid but these idiots in the Virginny State Legislature aren't doing anything for the image..........What happens to some poor kid in school whose class mates give him a...

I don't have a beef with any of what you guys are saying on this subject. Apparently the press on the opposite side of the "Big Pond" is as bad as over here. And like I said before, people are just getting to sensitive and whiny, no matter where they are from. Can't anyone take a joke anymore?

Isn't that something? Royalty, behaving more stupidly than a Merkan! And he's British!

Hey Lim, From a number of comments of yours I get the impression you really like Pink Floyd........I do too. Just can't listen to them much........gives me too much dejavu! Know what I mean?

OK, OK. Ya got me. I had been listening to Santana a lot at work. Now I'm back to bluesmen like Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Al King and some more recent fellas like SRV, Mayall, Clapton. It's not really that accurate to pick out a favorite, I guess.
