Just a quick update. A couple posts back I mentioned I swapped saddle on my bikes taking a Brooks C-15 off my, rather upright, Surly Bridge Club, replacing that saddle with a wider C-17, and putting the C-15 on my road bike.

The original saddle on my Surly Bridge Club did not fit me at all, so I swapped it out for a Brooks C15 . I thought the C15 might be a little too narrow, but the saddle on my road bike was going to need replacing soon and if it didn’t work on the BridgeContinue reading “If You’re Going To Live In Farm Country, You Might As Well Have A Tractor Seat!”

Fast forward a little over a year and I’ve finallyContinue reading “Widefoot Nalgene Bottle Cage”
Bike Lights Are Bright
I was doing a little outandabouting after dark tonight and decided to take a picture to show folks, that might not be acquainted with the latest and greatest in bike lights, just how bright the new bike lights are. This is a 1,000 Lumen Light And Motion Urban and there are lights that get wayContinue reading “Bike Lights Are Bright”
Altoids Tin “Boo-Boo” Kit
Altiods tin kit, plus a few things anyway. I usually have something like this around as a “just in case kit” that will take care of most of the little discomforts and oops’s that I might have. I figured with the election and the possibility of protest marches in the near future I’d share whatContinue reading “Altoids Tin “Boo-Boo” Kit”
