$300 dirt jumper off of Kijiji for me. Not fancy at all but it has discs, good tires and rims, and I can smoke all the weed I want and still drive it around. I got stoned a lot this summer and I‘ve got the calves to prove it now. Starting to work on some skills. The sitting and pedalling wheelie is coming along but the manual is gonna take some time.

I bought some stuff for my bike today. The iPhone holder has like 3 different mounts . I ended up using the plastic Easy Mount strap .
I need to get a bike rack next and would like a really safe sturdy one for 2 bikes. Does anyone have any suggestions ? It will have to mount on my 2015 Toyota Corolla. DA4C8552-8A6F-4C2D-AD97-759A9E4FC125.jpeg

Thule Passage 2 is probably the best sub $200 trunk mount bike rack.

Been building up this new steed. Super light, great commuter/trick bike.
Stem, bars and wheels are off my old bike and will be replaced as I get new parts. Gonna be lacing up a set of mtx33’s once I decide on some hubs, so I can run fatter tires.

Sexy bike. Wow! That is FLAMING hot. What does your helmet look like?

I have a rusty old bike but I would never get another one because it fits me so well and it’s done me very well in many harsh terrains.

my gear windows are all messed up and so worn I can’t see my numbers anymore.

That's what I need....A rear view mirror. I'm constantly turning and looking, which IS good exercise, but a mirror would be a LOT safer!! And I like that style!

Ouch! I wrecked once riding in Philly. Some guy opened his car door right as I was passing and I took off the car door with my bike. I won’t ride in the city anymore after that.
I got hit by a car while riding my bike last November I think. Insurance didn’t pay me out till like February. Luckily I was mostly okay, but coulda been a lot worse!

Where you okay?
I hurt my right side posterior neck and my rt upper back area. Sometimes it still hurts but not all the time. It is easy to aggravate that area though so I have to be careful. It’s very knotted back under my rt shoulder blade and needs a lot of work trying to release the knots under there. I like when my husband digs his fingers under that area and pushes on the knots, it feels so good. Like very painful but relieving .

bummer I know exactly what pain you're talking about. Was the driver fined for opening their door into traffic? Dooring is a serious fine and 3 demerit points here.

I don’t know what happened to the driver. I got a lawyer and was paid out $7,500 for my injury . Never aware it was called “dooring” . Quite soon after that injury we moved to Boulder Co. I picked Boulder because that town seemed really bike friendly and had lots of off roads bike trails. It was fun and I liked Boulder. They have some cool rock formations there called the Flatirons.
