I note this photo demonstrating the inadequacy of so many 'bike parking' spots. Cyclists avoiding using them because they're installed as last minute lip service.

Hi Richard, bike rack has been here for a long time. I prefer something I can rest my bike against as the weight of the panniers means front wheel bike stands are not so good. Modern upright stands where you can rest a bike on and lock seem to be what is being installed more and more.

It has been something yet to be accomplish for few years. Finally, done it today and love the ride, except that in town, i am still sharing pathway with pedestrian instead of cars. Gotta get myself... read more

Michael Yingling I replaced my decade’s old Helmet this spring. It came with a ANGi ride tracker that sinc’s to my phone. It is similar to a concussion proposal monitor But it can be programmed to send an alert to someone of your choice by text and email should it detect a sudden stop or crash. It can be purchased separate through a Trek store and added to any helmet. Check it out if you ride alone anywhere. I think it is one of the best things I have added to my cycling in 40 years.

After a bit of a tough year in 2020 change in job, change in house a new commute ride to work is getting the head and body heading back in a good direction.
