To make room for other bikes I want to carry, I need to sell the Redline Mono-9 bikes that I’ve got left. These are really nice 29″ wheel bikes with a rigid fork, SRAM X-9 shifter/derailleur, single 32t chainring with guard, Maxxis Ignitor 2.1 tires on WTB rims, Ritchey Pro bar/stem/seatpost topped by a WTB […]

Riding here between July and September is good for the stomach. That’s when the blackberries and huckleberries are ripe for the picking. There’s nothing quite like stuffing your mug with blackberries during a ride. So sweet. We’ve even got some in the yard that are perfect for grazing on after a ride. But alas, the […]

I had a very nice surprise visit a couple of weeks ago. My old friend John and his wife walked through the door one Saturday and were able to spend some time. We hadn’t seen each other in several years. John and I are the same body types – tall and thin. I call us […]

The UCI just passed a new regulation banning “tight fitting clothing” for downhill racers. Seems not all gravity racers are into wearing tight clothes for racing.

There is a proposed new regulation that Pres. Bush is supposedly set to sign that will give individual park superintendents the authority to manage their own individual National Parks with regards to managing bikes on the trails. I’m not sure what the ramifications are out here in Point Reyes, but there are miles and miles […]

Not a sight one sees every day (unless you work for a Rolls Royce dealership). Musta been at least 8 brand new shiny Rolls Royces of various body styles rolled through my parking lot. To be quite honest, it was quite a site. This must be what executives who screw up use their bonus money […]

I realized not too long ago that it has been over one year since I opened shop. I realized it when some folks in the shop asked how long I’d been here. Instead of my usual flip reply of “since 10:00,” I contemplated, realized it was September and said, “well, a little over year.” Wow, […]

Heading to Interbike early in the a.m. to check on cycle touring/commuting type gear. Not taking the computer and that’s a nice thing. Back on Saturday. It will be interesting to attend the show as a dealer compared to a manufacturer. (What’s playing: A Ray Charles tribute on KWMR – today would have been his […]

Dear Marty, I’m writing to let you know I’ve been doing well out here in Marin County. I do miss the seasons in Wisconsin, but I’m done freezing my stays off during winter. My new owner has been preoccupied the past year with proving he’s tough by riding his ‘cross bike where he really should […]
