I have a Cateye Mity 8.
for some reason the clock is running about 18-20 minutes slow
Having an accurate clock on the bike might be nice (like for getting
to work on time!)

There is a new Performance store moving in right across the freeway from
my office.  Should I be happy?

Broke my second SRAM PC-48 bike chain yesterday coming home
from work.  Broke the previous one about 2 months ago I
think.  Ironically, the first broken PC-48 occurred climbing
a hill on the way to work and yesterday, the PC-48 broke

Today I was dropping off my daughter at the horse barn, which happens to be
situated on one of the most popular recreational cycling routes in the
country. (I know, as I ride it often...) As I was waiting to turn left off
this road I saw two cyclists coming toward me.  One of ...

Decided I'm going to bike to and from work aboujt 8 mi each way.
I live in NYC and have a Trek "Mountain Trek" bike that I'll use as my
commuter bike.
Just changed the tubes, bought a pump and bottle holder and seat pack

Just picked up an old Miyata from a neighbor. I'm trying to figure out which
model and which year this is. Any ideas?
The frame has an old repaint job, right over the decals, but there is a

It seems to me that complaining publicly to the ride leader during a ride is
occasionally appropriate. I can think of two general sets of issues:
1. Safety concerns

On my way home, a few hundred yards from the office, I managed to
get my shoelace stuck in the chain.  Somehow it managed to rip
the front derailer out of position.  I was able to limp to the
side of the road and cut my shoelace off, then lift up the chain

Hi, I used to do a bit of mountain biking a few years back but would
like to get into road cycling. At this point I'm considering between a
Specialized Allez and a Giant OC3.
I've found many reviews for the Allez but not any for the OC3, though

My sweetie and I plan on taking our tandem ( Richey Skyliner ) to
France for 17 days from the end of August through the middle of
September. We have airline tickets to Paris and that's about the
extent of our preparations so far.

Having an issue that I thought someone might be able to help on...
I have an older/used bike that's in very nice shape.  The LBS did a bit
of a fitting when I purchased and the bike feels pretty comfortable.  
The bike came with a metallic quill stem, which the LBS guy thought was

The boys were out early saturday morning, sun not quite up, on a quiet
road in South West Aussie... We had a ute with a bloke in the back
taking some video so it seemed like a good idea to do a bit of motor
pacing behind it. As the pace picked up the group got smaller until

My wife and I are heading up to North Eastern Georgia for vacation for
a couple of days. We were planning on doing some pretty serious
ridding but we aren't familiar enough with the area to know where any
good trails are. I found the Chicopee Woods Mountain Bike trails
