    Singlespeed - Road commuter recommendations?

    So I've been out of the game a bit. I've been riding a converted Chameleon and it's a bit too small for me and I think I want 700c. I'm thinking that I'd like to buy a complete bike, singlespeed/flip flop. I'm getting old so I'll most likely never ride fixed but we don't need gears in flat...

    What's the fuss all about?

    Mountain Bike Action refuses to run Titus ads. In these times, and what with magazines doing poorly especially, why refuse $$ for tame, well done ads? http://www.PDNPulse.com/2008/12/racy-mountain-bike-ads-rejected-by-magazine-.html#comments seriously....

    New Bike Racks - NYC

    Kinda cool. David Byrne and all. Anything that promotes more cycling is good. Contrary to popular belief (mostly from people who don't live here or have never ridden the streets of NYC), I find the streets here to be much safer and bike friendly than say a place like Seattle where I was...

    McCain's pastor

    Just what we need (again) in this administration, more religious zealots. http://www.motherjones.com/washington_dispatch/2008/05/john-mccain-rod-parsley-pastor-problem.html lovely video. Separation of church and state should mandate that a president or candidate be atheist or agnostic...

    29er recommendation for my boss?

    My boss wants help purchasing a mt. bike. He wants to ride around the perimeter of the city and occasionally hit the trail for easy XC. In my estimation, a 29er would suit his needs. He'd rather spend under 1k. I've read here that Specialized will have a nice ride around $650 in the fall, but he...

    Geeks. Television as monitor

    So, I've been looking at this set for a bit and I've also been debating getting 2 and using one for a monitor. I love my CRT for photo editing (Lacie electron22 blue IV), but it's getting time to start thinking about a flat panel lcd because I've had it for a few years and would love to free up...

    History Channel

    Why is it all Jesus all the time? They call it 'The History Channel' - to me that implies history, not speculation, rhetoric, reality tv/entertainment weekly sensationalism. I've not had this channel for long. Is it/has it always been this way? What gives?

    Coffee Maker recommendations?

    Big on the coffee. Been using a french press with pleasure for many years, but since the GF moved in, we've been using her Mr. Coffee drip machine because she gets up first and it's less labor intensive. Time to replace it. Looked around. Everything is so damned ugly right now. Prefer white as...

    San Francisco - WTF?!

    should I do when I'm there in a week? It's been many many years but in my mind it's still one of my favorite places. My girlfriend has never been. We've only got a couple of days. What shouldn't we miss?
