Anecdotal evidence......spot check estimation..


:laugh2: Really?


Yeah its all because Anchorage just has poor cyclist and lack of biker safety.


OooOO-K !!


What facts are you supporting anywhere in this thread?


The facts I said bikers here ride like idiots? Those facts?

Wow, you flipped the stupid switch pretty quick there.

I started riding my old Fuji hybrid bike again late last spring. I mostly ride on the street and concrete trails now, so I changed out the offroad tires for street tires. As a kid, I used to ride my bike everywhere, and had a great time riding. I didn't realize how much I missed it til I got back on one. Since I've been riding, I have lost weight, and it has helped my blood pressure, so I appreciate those benefits from riding.

I have noticed that there are a lot of new trials around Dallas/Ft. Worth, and some of the existing trails have been extended. Once my bike is tuned up, and I get my truck back from the shop (transmission replaced), I'm going to hit the trails this fall. Also, the train station is about 2 miles from my house, so I may actually commute to work when the weather is cooler.

Also, I found my old mongoose out in the garage a few months back, or what was left of it (frame, crank, and handlebars). I plan to restore and ride it too. I would also like to buy/build a fixed gear road bike to ride around the neighborhood. Here is my current bike. Post pics of your bikes if you have them.

Ya know... it's not the impact that bothers us so much, but the machine that grabs us by the helmet & sets us up again.

LOL...

I got into this sport a little over a year ago. Started by riding around white rock lake with a piece of junk walmart mountain bike I had. I quickly purchased a used road bike on craigslist, then upgraded the frame to a carbon frame you see on ebay.

I don't have quite as much time to ride now, but I still enjoy it alot.

But I fully confess I used to get aggravated by cyclists on the street before I started to ride.
