    Rant: Enough talk about raising gas prices

    I agree - I would like a news channel that focused on real issues. I am just as pissed off as the next guy about gas, but I am tired of talking about it and ready to do something about it. I am going to get a car with better gas mileage and I am riding my bike to work a few days a week now.

    monster energy drink

    I like Monster, just not all the calories that come with it. I drink WAY TOO MUCH COFFEE. However, I have been adjusting my diet lately and trying to exercise everyday. I feel a lot better. I am starting to ride my bike to work also to save money and all those penguins that Al Gore keeps talking...

    I have a 9year old son and 12 year old daughter. We try to spend as much time with them as we can. They are both competetive swimmers, so we spend everynight at the pool with them. Also, this weekend my wife and daughter are going to have some girl time at the mall and my son and I are going to...

    New Bike!!!

    OK - so i got the Trek 4500. The green/black one. I was kind of in a hurry at the bike store when I finally decided on the model and it came time to pay. So, I handed the man my card and signed the slip. I rushed home, went to swim practice and returned home for the night. I had talked the bike...

    New Bike!!!

    OK - think I am going to pick up the Trek today. I have a feeling this is going to be an addictive hobby. We have been riding a few times and I already find myself really looking forward to the next ride.

    New Bike!!!

    It is now between the Fezzari and the Trek. It looks like the Fezzari has Shimano disc brakes, I assume they are OK. I am kind of leaning towards the Trek, as I can get it locally and do not have to order it. Will probably make my decision in the next couple of days. Any last minute advice on...

    New Bike!!!

    I have one more question - how about this bike: http://fezzari.com/products/index/Kings_Peak_XC/14/35#Features I have never heard of the company before. I like the components it comes with - they seem to be on par with the other bikes. I really like the looks of that bike also. I would...

    New Bike!!!

    I am going to be getting a new bike. I am stuck between a Trek 4500 or a Specialized Hardrock Comp Disc. They are both about the same price. I know they are not hardcore bikes, but I do not ride hard enough to justify that - yet. We are getting into biking and doing a lot of it as a family now...

    Crank?

    I am having some trouble with my crank. I talked to the bike store and they said it sounds like the bearings inside are going out. Right now I have a 10 year old Jamis Durango - with a Shimano crank - most likely bottom of the line. I want to replace it with something that is good, but...

    Racing for Kids?

    Thanks for the post. I read it and he sounds knowledgeable about it. Hopefully, he will see this. I also checked out southridgeusa.com. They told me that he can race DH or XC there. I might go and check them out. He is also a competitive swimmer, so we don't have a lot of time. He makes a heck...

    Racing for Kids?

    My sons is 8 years old, he will be 9 in a few weeks. He would really like to get into some kind of racing on his mountain bike. Is there somewhere we can go to watch a race like this, or possibly get him in one? I looked around at a few sites, but I am not sure what I am looking for. He would be...

    How to haul bikes?

    Thanks for the quick replies, I will look into those companies mentioned and see what the options are. I am definately going to miss being able to just put them in the back of the truck though.

    How to haul bikes?

I am most likely going to be getting rid of the Tacoma soon infavor of something more gas friendy (gas was $4.25 on the...
