Where is everybody?
It feels like the Greatest Page is moving at a snail's pace.

8. Heck, I've been busy all day, but that doesn't stop me from checking in
every now and then. Shirking their responsibilities, they are. Shirkers.

14. Shame on me. I've been out in the garden all day.
Found the smartest caterpillars. By day you can't see them on the plant, but by next morning the plant is almost skeletal. The buggers, I discovered, hide at the base of the plant in the mulch by day and only come out in the dark when nobody is looking to ravage the plant. I named them Rovians.

32. I should have favored the distance between the backrest
Edited on Sun Jul-08-07 05:26 AM by The Backlash Cometh
and the handle bars to make my guess. I admit I was torn. I only had a stationary recumbent to use as a point of reference for that style of bike, and in the photo the leg extension seemed considerably longer than the arm reach. I decided that the discrepancy in the shorter arm reach was due to a "Big Wheel" <remember those?> design. I was wrong. Apparently.

39. I don't know how to post photos.
Someone once gave me the link to a program that can do it, but, I guess I have better technical days than others.

How about just telling me your favorite design, and describe how you fold and tie the knots?

21. Yep.
With Industry Nine wheels. Not bad, huh?

And if you saw the trails I was riding, you'd be even more jealous. I'm pretty stoked about it all. It's what I live for.

The Mojo is just amazing. A work of art.

24. It really is a work of art...
I bought a Jamis Dakar XC Expert a few months ago and I've been pretty happy with it.

Trails, bikes, friends, and wild places are all good things to live for! :toast:

13. Looking for anybody in particular?
Saturdays always seem to be a little slow. Most normal people are out having fun.
