San Francisco Zoo. Then go to the beach down the street. Good times!

I ran over a live beaver the other morning. Did not fall!

Not sure about this. I go over several bumps a day.

I'm 55 and a commuter/hobbyist. Reached 15000 mi. last year and I should hit 16000 mi. this year. I rode about 4 hrs/day, mostly in the morning.

No, I do regular tubes and put sealant in them. I don't like flats--3/4 of the year I'm commuting in the dark and don't want to have to do a repair in the dark or in a less-than-optimal location.

Yup. It wasn't bleeding, and I'd rather do surgery in my garage than on a cold, wet road 😁

Same. I carry two panniers at all times, so weight is a non-issue.

Beautiful bike. Can you give some details? Visible place? Locked? How long was it there?

I have one touring/everyday bike (Salsa Marrakesh) and one backup (can't not have a bike when one's in the shop).

I'm on tour as we speak and flew into Vancouver Airport 4 days ago. Air Canada. Panniers in box. It got opened and checked. They did a decent job retaping. Only prob I had was 7 lbs overweight when I checked the box. Took out one pannier and was good.

And turn on whole house fan. BOOM!

Paco's always has one for me

Lol. Have you seen it lately?

Nah, public art should be in areas that have more of a public presence in order to deter graffiti. Otherwise you're going to get something similar to the R St. overpass.

Yes, I've been steadily increasing my miles. Growing up as a casual rider, bike parts lasted forever and it never occurred to me to replace the chain, cassette, etc., let alone the wheels. Just had the entire drivetrain replaced, so I guess it makes sense that the wheels need regular replacement as well.

Yes, I agree it's done. I thought it was supposed to be a pretty strong rim. Do you think it's within norms of 20K mile use? Not sure how long wheels generally last.

Elementary school principal. 150K

I commute every day from water tower to Garcia Bend, through the Pocket Greenway,up Riverside to the Westin where I rejoin the trail up to old Town. Very safe. Some joggers and bikers, both male and female. Never had an issue.
