Re: Biking
I have been wanting to get back into biking but none of my buddies like that - I sold my Specialized FSR and only have my 1996 Rockhopper Comp. left. Maybe one day I will kick it high gear again. I have too many hobbies. Snowboarding, paintball (now rec only), hockey (ice and inline), RC you name it ;p

Re: Biking
see the new motorized wheel.... REVO I think its called, When they're availablle here, I might get another bike and get one, thought it would be great to put one on the electric bikes you can peddle to increase battery life, add the REVO and keep going even farther.........
The last bike I had (still have, but been parked for a few years) I got at a yard sale for $10, I rode it a few dozen times before the chain broke and I havn't done anything with it since...... 18spd 27" ? can't even remember which kind, but I'm sure it wasn't an expensive bike when it was new....

Re: Biking
finally am home and got pictures of my bikes in the van. 
left one is a trek 6500
right one is my SS Motobecane
the rack works great and is cheap. the SS's tires are to big so makes it a tight fit but love riding them both.

I never had think about the law - just made common sense. Always had the helmet on and never would I not have it on. I have been hit by a car on the road yet alone the menace I go through for off-road when younger
Awesome dude! Keep riding - lots of fun.

Sweet pics! Getting some good air.
