White Industries made (still makes?) a two speed freewheel. Closely spaced, just a couple teeth difference. A bike with long enough track or horizontal dropouts can keep the chain taut in either gear...

1/15/21 - Bagel

City Place Cafe, at 17th and L St NW. Great coffee and bagels in the morning and sandwiches, soups and salads at lunch. Give them a try if you’re down there.

Now we're cooking. Here's my two-fer. "Bon Air" (today) and "Memorial" (yesterday). I realize no point will be awarded for the latter.

I'm the same way. I'm more interested in new scenery than in points, so I'd rather spend a few minutes coming up with answers on my own, and then think about where I might find them IRL, especially...

Reporting for Doo-ty!

Hi everyone, glad to be aboard. My name is Pete and this is my 3rd FS. This week, I've been limited to sleaze rides with my 2nd grader, but hope to put in more miles in the...

Italian restaurant

In front of Osteria da Nino in Shiraz-lington. I've never been, but they serve spaghetti, and don't have "zz" or "garden" in the name or signage. Possibly the only...

1/2/21 - Palindrome

My bike in front of Madam’s Organ in Adams Morgan. On a rim brake bicycle, the rims are also rotors.

Took the day off to run some errands and putter around Wakefield.

Happy New Bike Day for Ms. EasyRider! It's a 2021 Jamis Coda step-over from Bikenetic. We saw it on the website, asked about it, and they built it up toot-sweet from the box. She went over for a test...

You should buy those! What were the budget options, out of curiosity?

There's the rub. Marketers still need to emphasize the non-bike like aspects of these vehicles (battery, top speed, etc, ) to sell them, it's just product differentiation. Advocates have to downplay...

My only encounter with Pete was at the finish of last year's Disaster Relief Trials. He was helping me, of course, holding my bike steady so I could lift a big water jug out of the front basket...

Yup, it's the same. I just flipped the order of the spacer and "cone". All good. Now both the cone and locknut are outboard of the freewheel body, and accessible to a wrench.

Working from home has drastically reduced my mileage, since most of my riding was on commutes while the kids were in school and daycare. The practical thing would've been to buy a used trainer, or to...

1. Probably not.

2. No, but maybe you could have the bike powder-coated gloss white or gloss black and use celeste replacement decals, cable housing, bar tape, etc., as accents. Those are pretty...

This product looks really interesting and I'd give it a try if it were my frame. Apparently, this stuff doesn't run or spatter, which are the main issues with rattle-can paint jobs.

For me, a...

Some trails seem less traveled. Here's the usually well-worn dirt path between Washington Blvd and the GW Parkway near Memorial Bridge.

Neat tool!

Clever idea, thanks. The tool could almost engage, a couple millimeters more is all that would be needed to get it seated.

Thanks. If I'm being honest, taking off the Shimano freewheel was a want, not a need :)

I did try taking the nuts off the fixed gear side but the axle didn't budge when I gave it a pretty good...
