    I carry a 10 year old Adventure Medical Kit along with some spray liquid bandage. I've only had to use the kit a few times but I was thinking I should probably update it. What does everyone carry? Are there any kits made for mtn bking? A quick internet search didn't find anything. A friend...

    Google Glass

    What do you guys think of Google Glass? I think its a cool idea that nobody will buy. It will be like the Segway.

    Backup Solution?

    Anyone know of a way to back up my photos to an external drive? I've tried a few programs and they all put the photos in some weird cabinets. I want a copy of the photos on the drive that I can browse and use on other computers. Sure I can just copy them over but I want it to automatically...

    England Riding

    I will be heading to the UK next week and was wondering if anyone had any information about rentals and trails in England. We will be staying at the inlaws in Hove (near Brighton, south shore) but will be traveling around a bit since they are retired. I could probably convince them to go...

    Lake Placid

    We are heading up there for a long weekend next weekend. We are meeting some friends from Toronto who also have a 1yr old. We will be staying in town and are planning on finding somewhere to snowshoe and will probably hit up Whiteface for some snowboarding. None of us have ever been to that...

    My Ideas to Make Road Biking Safer

    OK, I have a couple of ideas to make road biking safer. First would be to give cyclists complete rights to four feet of the lane and any car passing has to be three feet from that lane. So when passing a cyclist any vehicle cannot be any closer than seven feet from the edge of the road (not...

    Laser Bike Lights?

    This looks like it would make more sense for bikes than cars. Tiny lens and 1000 times brighter than LEDs at half the power? I wonder how light and durable it is. http://www.insideline.com/bmw/bmw-to-introduce-laser-lighting-within-2-3-years.html

    Finger Lakes

    We rented a house in Skaneateles for the weekend. We are planning on bringing the bikes to take the kids on the bike path in Syracuse. Are there any trails worth hitting up (without kids)? Also, any good hikes, waterfalls, restaurants we shouldn't miss? Thanks, Kevin

    Adirondack Suggestions?

    The wife and I will be taking our 10 month old daughter to the Adirondacks to meet another couple with a kid from Toronto for Columbus Day weekend. We would like to rent a cabin or condo in a quiet, wooded, mountain setting with easy access to moderate, scenic hikes (5-10mi). Thing is we have...

    Are you a Massachusetts resident looking to buy a new phone....

    Well don't buy it in MA. They will now charge you sales tax on the wholesale price of the phone. So that free phone might cost you $40 in sales tax. NH doesn't do this and they have no sales tax so who in their right mind will buy a cell phone in MA...

    Is Brooklyn, NY safe?

    I will be going to Brooklyn, NY next week for work and need to find a hotel. Where would be a good place to stay? Right now I'm leaning towards taking the train down and using the subways and/or taxis to get around instead of driving down. I've never been to that area but I heard it isn't...

    G-Form Pads

    These caught my eye at Providence Bike. They are soft but get hard on impact. They have some pretty impressive demonstrations. They are made in Fall River, MA and their headquarters are in Providence, RI. At first I didn't think they would take many falls but they say on their site...

    Things you hate other drivers doing!

    Not merging on the highway properly. Why do these people think that the best way to get on a highway is to stop? The merge lane is there for a reason! Get up to the speed limit and slide in. Dilly dallying at a stop light. This is especially annoying when turning left when there is an...

    Mtn bike vs BMX bike

    What are the advantages of dirt jumping a mtn bike vs a bmx bike? I would think the bmx bike would be easier to maneuver so why do people jump mtn bikes?

    What is your dream car/van/suv?

    I would start with something like the Mazda 5. Make it a smidge bigger with a fold flat / removable third row. All four buckets fold flat. They too are like the Mazda 5 in that they have storage bins under the flip forward seat bottoms with one containing a fold out middle seat and the other...
