Bicyclettes

[jayrock]

I went on a 15 mile bike ride last night just goofing off, because the weather was so nice. I was all excited to bicycle commute to work this morning, and then I was awoke by the sound of an ice scraper on a windshield.

On a related note, I think I want some riser bars. These stupid flar bars just aren't comfortable for long rides.

i can't imagine doing more than 15 or so miles at a time on anything without a bend. my wrists start to hurt so bad if I ride too long on my risers. just cant handle the wrist position anymore without being able to switch.

[jayrock]

well, it wasn't 15 straight miles. i stopped at a bar about half-way through the ride

but I agree. it is nice to switch up your riding position. I don't have much variety, except to ride without hands for awhile.

Bullhorns for longer rides, or rides that involve serious climbing.

even for a beginner rider, 15 miles shouldn't be a huge deal.

if your wrists hurt that bad, you need to fit your bike better... play around with bar position, longer/shorter stems, etc.

ML- i'm talking about extended riding with risers, I have terrible wrists from years of bmx and riding on a bend keeps my wrists in a more natural position. 15 miles is really nothing otherwise.

jay- yea, at least you got a break. my daily ride is about 5 each way and that's fine with them, I actually prefer them with getting through the city. I remember one time I got antsy and was too lazy to switch out my bars, did 24 miles and the next day i could barely turn my wrists, it sucked.

New to the fixed gear. Picked one of these up to ride to school. People give it mixed reviews. So far I love it.

[hipset]

glad i started a new page. those are probably the worst looking bars ever. how do you stay on your saddle? anti-gravity bike shorts?

traded a zip for some campagnolo love. campy hub and quick release, trying to track down a nos axle for this bitch

its fun riding bikes in san diego.

[eplsoccer7]

It's quite easy.

Are those upside down cruiser bars or what?

[wild style]

Probably Soma Walker bars.

Probably Soma Walker bars.

May be change the colour of the wheelset??

[meta]

flat black would be perfect.

^ I was just looking for that picture. I think your bike would look the best with black bars too..

[arevalo]

Word. Thanks.

I have some black risers on 'em now.

Looks mad plain just black I gotta throw on some stickers or some shit on it if I do. I was even thinking throwing on the original black decals on.

Thanks much!

i think the gold drops would set it off. it would be a nice contrast.
