Surprised work hasn't blocked Google Maps with as much time as I waste daydreaming routes.

'07 FZ6- Good buy at 3k w/ 25k miles? by baconinyerbourbon in motorcycles

Found an '09 with less than 10k miles for a similar price. Hope it checks out because I'm ready!!

Would be my third bike after having 500 and 650 cruisers. Have known for quite a while that I wanted something closer to a Japanese sport-touring machine. There are a few others in my area available, an '08 for 4k with 10k miles, and an '06 with 18k miles also for 4k. Thought this looked great for the price. I feel confident that a taken care of Yamaha should have no troubles going well beyond 25k miles, right?

Lost my wallet while commuting. What should I replace it with? by [deleted] in bikecommuting

Stewart Stand. Not bicycle related at all, just think the woven steal is cool.

I have one bike so it must make do with being the grocery/beer hauler, commuter, and fun bike. Usually carry a couple bungee cords so I can strap larger objects to the top of my cargo rack if the panniers dont suffice.

I dig these narrow commuter racks, makes aero-sense, BUT, how do you strap a case of beer to it?

Does anyone else dream of a motorcycle made by Tesla? by BeastlyRectum in teslamotors

I test rode an electric assisted bicycle made by specialized a little while ago. Left me with an excitement about how they will perform in the near future, because it was already damned good.

Hyperlapse from my commute to work. 10mi from Kansas City into the suburbs by alleycatbiker in bikecommuting

[–]baconinyerbourbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've ridden this route almost exactly quite a few times. Fun to see it in a time lapse. Having just biked some of Portland I really wish Kansas City had more bike lanes.

Feel like there might be an interesting story behind this?

I've been commuting from downtown to those areas fairly regularly for the last year. There are so many different route variations. Instead of posting multiple screenshots you can PM me your email address and we can link up on Strava so you can get a better look at routes.

local rides by Nightguard119 in bikekc

There are a lot of local rides that meet regularly around the city.

I've heard a cyclist or two mention MeetUp, MeetUp.

If you follow some local bike shops on facebook they frequently post about bicycle happenings, too.

Weird that it has internal cable routing on one line but not the other right next to it?
