I was thinking if you ride a hardtail you will lose weight?

Even if your obstetrician is there my experience was that the midwives do most of the work anyway. Obviously it's different for a caesarian.

WA, St John Ambulance cover, $113 / year (for a family of 4). We definitely take out ambulance cover each year. Used to have private health but never found much value in it, generally medicare covers around 50% anyway and private health covers most of the rest, then you still have gap...

Took it to the bike shop for gear adjustment and some new brakes. Decided I would ride there then walk the 6km home....got blisters on my heels...walking sucks haha... (or maybe I should have worn sneakers instead of steelcap work boots....you'd think workboots were made for walking?) Anyway...

Have you asked Johnny Sprockets? He seems to do some custom builds. Edit: lol just realised that I replied to an ancient post. Oh well.

I washed it and degreased the drivetrain (also my sons bike). Thinking of taking them into the LBS for gear adjustment, and maybe cable replacement because I've had a go and can't get it right. I was considering replacing brakes on mine (as LBS recommended they could sell me some Shimanos to...

Flipped all the bikes back upright and pumped up the tyres that went flat after the last ride. Guess it must be time to add some fresh slime to the tubes to keep sealing all those thousands of goats heads holes they're full of. Thinking about taking the kids for a ride tomorrow.

This is when they were kittens 15 months ago, funny photo....crashed!

Sons bike has Altus / Acera gearing on it (8spd), tried to adjust it today and I so love my sram gearing and not having a FD either! Couldn't get his gears to work well enough, probably just me though guess I'll have to take it to the LBS. Ahhhh would be nicer to upgrade it to sram 9spd stuff...

Rode the kids bikes yesterday to check what sort of condition they were in. First I rode my Sons bike, Giant Talon 4. I only grabbed half of my bike tool so I didn't have a screwdriver with me and had to listen to the FD rubbing for the whole 15km round trip to the post office. Arrrgh on my...

I'm a convert, having ridden mostly Rockshox forks (Tora, Pike, Domain), ended up buying a Manitou Marvel Comp to upgrade my current bike from the Dart it came with (why you would spec such a fork on a carbon frame...anyway). Love the Manitou.....I don't think I could have got a better Rock Shox...

I haven't done much night riding apart from rides to work when I had to do 5am starts. If you only have the one light I would opt for mounting it on your helmet. I have the crappiest night vision so even for easy stuff my LED Lenser M7R on the helmet was great, although I could still manage to...

Don't normally drink it, brought a bottle of Jack Daniels no7 (because it came with the glasses....similar to one hubby had that the kids broke). Anyway don't like it much myself (particularly with pepsi...tastes harsh)...should have got the Johnny Walker Black like I was thinking of. I'm not...
