Off With The Old, On With The New 02-01-2012

Last Saturday the Brooks B72 I was riding on gave out on me. I twisted in the saddle and it ripped. I think it may have already had a small tear at the bottom edge. It was an old saddle that I had taken off a Raleigh 3 speed I bought at a garage sale years ago. I really […]

Bike Shirts At Target 01-22-2012

Target never disappoints. I always find a bike shirt of some kind. Last night I spotted these. Ladies night shirt. Boys shirt. They also use bicycles a lot in their advertising. I believe this is a new sign. Don't know that the girls are riding the proper bikes for […]
