I have been commuting to work for over 30 years and I own 8 bikes, one for sale. Until recently, I have been riding a mountain bike with no suspension and semi slick tires. Two weeks ago I upgraded to a Scott SUB 10. The is a "Speed Urban Bike". I...
If you don't mind one more temptation...I really liked the Specialized Cirrus, which I test drove at the bike shop on Montgomery and Louisiana. It was fun, handled great. I would have bought it, but they did not have a large enough frame size.
Thanks guys for your input, the points are all well taken.
Previously I didn't think too much about it when I bought a new bike. I tried one and if it felt like the right size, I could make it move, and afford it, I was sold.
Now I'm starting to l...
I did a similar change a few months ago, so i am happy to share my 2-cents worth. I started with a 7 year old mountain bike that is getting pretty worn out. It has shocks in the front and on the seat post, nice big comfy seat, twist shifters, upri...
Toddster,
I could not give you advice one way or the other since I have never had the chance to ride or even see this machine up close and personal. There are however several things that should be considered before taking the plunge. Comfort, cos...
If this is permitted here... Can anyone talk me into (or out of) the Fuji Absolute 2.0? I was smitten by it on a road test last weekend. I've read online reviews but that's not the same as advice from my homies.
I'm looking for a good commuter bi...
Friends and neighbors: Please keep your pets safe by observing city ordinances, which means keeping cats indoors, and keeping dogs on leash. This is the type of incident that the ordinances are designed for, to protect the animals. We don't have t...
No robins to be seen downtown, either -- or at least when I go out in the evening if it's cool, but I can't hear them or many other birds from inside, either. A few evenings ago I heard a "tweee" sound I tend to associate with robins (twice I saw ...
I'm not sure where to post this question so here goes anyway. What has happened to the robins? For most of the Spring and early Summer they were everywhere at least in my neighborhood in the South Valley. Lately they seem to have disappeared. Yet ...
Thanks to you both for the information! Now that I read your link, nmmtnmama, I see that the Great Horned has a large repertoire of sounds including cat-like sounds, and my first impression when I heard it was that there was a sick cat in the yard...
Bosque Bill, you are absolutely right that if Toddster is comfortable with his size estimate it would most likely be a Great Horned Owl (note the paragraph on the variety of different sounds they make). The reasons I suggested screech owl were (1)...
If it was big, it was a Great Horned. Size is usually difficult to determine, but if it was in a tree near your house, you probably have a pretty good sense of the relative size of things. The Western Screech-owl makes some interesting sounds, but...
Possibly a screech owl? I'm not sure what you mean by hiccups, but they make a very interesting bouncing-ball sound. Problem is that they are quite a bit smaller than you describe.
Anyone familiar with the Owls of Burque? First I heard some strange noises outside my house around 8:45 pm, sounded like someone with hiccups or indigestion, then more of a hooting sound. I looked up and saw what must have been a big, fat owl perc...
