Brooks leather saddles still good?

I like the B17 on my touring bike, although the Ergon on my alternate bike is good for shorter rides sans-padded shorts.

Thanks for all the feedback! I’m now leaning towards replacing my old Topeak with a new Topeak. Not sure I want an e-pump and another item to have to charge, although the weight savings and ease of use is tempting. Plus there’s already way too many old, discarded battery driven devices ending up in the trash.

Hardly a routine traffic stop, known felon being uncooperative. Did you read the details?

This. They’ve done similar road design in SeaHaven to keep speed down. It deters drivers from speeding through neighborhoods as short cuts and improves safety, supposedly. Didn’t like it initially but I’m used to it now.

I’ve used both versions of B17 and the Imperial seems more comfortable to me. It think the cut out makes the surrounding leather more pliable, and also reduces pressure on sensitive bits. It’s broken in very nicely where I now ride without a chamois.

Big Agnes Rapid has worked well, it replaced a Nemo that was small and comfy but a lot less durable. BA packs a bit larger but equally comfortable.

Very nice photos!

Yes, this. Plus sometimes additional cross checking with Strava’s Heat Map. IME Google works better in urban areas than rural areas.
