  I know there are a few of us around here (ahem, x136 and BradSmith) who are more than a little obsessed with bicycles and riding.  Anyone else out there love bikes as well?

  My new rig is a SOMA Smoothie ES , complete with Chris King headset , Terry saddle , pink Jagwire racer cable housing, and Crank Bros. pedals, Ritchey WCS Deep Section wheels , and Michelin Pro2 Race tires .

  Do you really want pictures of a grimy Raleigh MTB with road tires and no suspension?

  A couple of road clubs have laid out rides in my locale; a 30- and 62-mile course run right by the house. I road the 30-miler Saturday; that was the first time I’ve done 30 miles since college, and that was in (a much flatter) Minneapolis. To give you a clue, part of the trek follows “Little Mountain Rd.”

  Some silly souls have sprayed graffiti on those more remote portions of the ride… here’s a blog entry with an example, and an older post with more graffiti.

  I have a relatively new bike ( Raleigh Passage 3.0 2007 ) and I love it—rode it for two hours today. But I have a feeling it didn’t cost as much as yours or Jinkies. If you’re interested I can snap a few pictures but I figured the real bike enthusiasts would not be that impressed.

  When you have a 40-mile commute, you gotta have a little more than pedal power, unfortunately:

  

  Just rode home with it today.

  Oh, come on. I long for the 40-mile bicycle commute.

  Still on the Cannondale. No racing parts, but I’m a tourist.  

  

  Of course, after getting a hole punched in the knee Friday, I won’t be riding it for a while.
