Thought it might be fun to have a place were we can place good cycling links and share some two wheel dreams and stories over a beer.
First, I’m a bit curious if anyone visited the NAHBS 2007 in San Jose last weekend? If so, I would love some input.
The front view is really wicked

That reminds me, my crankset seems really loose, I should work on that over lunch.

Bears and Beers dont mix that well, do they?
Now fixed it, so no one gets hurt or disappointed

I had 2 friends that went to the show; both said it was mind bogling. Dario Pergoretti showed up at our local bike shop and gave a talk. Great guy and I like his work. The man has passion about the bike and is a real joy to talk to, even with the English/Italian translation going on. He speaks good English and my Italian is only “FORZA!!” 
It’s almost springtime here in Minnesota. Gotta get “Old Flash” ready. A little oil, a little polish…(‘:D’)
Here’s what I hope to be riding in the near future.
Funny, I wonder how many of us are cyclists on C&F…reminds me, I need to find a new stem before the season starts…seems like it’ll never come here.
If you look on the NAHBS web site, there were trikes shown! Lightspeed had a Ti trike down up
Forgot about this thread
I was going to post my favourite and most visited cycling links, here they are:

I only really use one site for bike news and chat.
What MTB:
http://www.whatmtb.com/
It’s a lot friendly towards newbies than some of the other MTB sites (there’s one UK site in particular is full of people who ONLY do mental downhill racing and are pretty abusive towards anyone else).
For local news:
http://www.cyclegrampian.co.uk/
For finding out the status of trails I plan to ride:
http://www.forestry.gov.uk/scotland
Just found this site as well, which looks quite good:

I’m fairly new to the cycling lark, just bought a cheap MTB last year for fitness. But it turns out that we have a reputation as having the best mountain bike territory in the world so I’m going to start getting out on the trails a bit more now the weather’s better, see what it’s like for myself.
I had no idea there was a bike show in San Jose; I would have gone if I had. oops.
I used to ride a hundred miles a week, but then I moved to a location where it seemed kinda dangerous, and I just didn’t get back into it for the longest time. A few weeks ago, from my new place, which seems to be equally dangerous, I started commuting on bike a few days a week, 12 miles each way. I’m totally hooked again, and I want to work up to doing it every day within the next few weeks. My current bike’s not really built for that, though, so a bike-expert coworker is going to help me put together something lighter, faster, and more comfortable this weekend.
Time to bring this thread to life again
Anyone seen it yet?

I ride a recumbent (or two). One is a trike and one has only two wheels.
