    Mountain bike 26 or 29 in?

    This is the truth. Please, please don't get the walmart bike. You can get a used hardrock or trek 4500 not much more than $300 and it will serve you infinitely better than the walmart bike.

    I'm getting fat :(

    Alcohol can add up. Especially if you aren't very active. (150 calories x 5 beers a week x 50 weeks a year) / 3500 calories per pound = 10.7 pounds gained a year.

    People who commute via Bike

    In that case, I'd definitely recommend going with a road bike. Versus a hybrid bike, a road bike will generally be faster, more efficient, and better ergonomically over the course of a longer ride. A decent road bike with the right tires can actually handle a variety of harsh road conditions...

    How long will the total commute be? I ride a single speed road bike. But the area I live in is as flat as a pancake.

    Ns1 got a bike v5 - The best damn thing I ever did for myself

    Awesome! I've been commuting 15 miles a day for the past two years and I agree that it was one of the best decisions on my life. If freshness is an issue there are a couple things you can do. Bring a change of clothes - so that your current one don't get all funky Bring baby wipes to freshen up...

    official veggie gardener's thread

    Any thoughts on how safe it would be water from my fish pond to water my veggie garden or other landscape plants? I figured that there would be a lot of beneficial nutrients in the water, but wonder if there are any potential health hazards.

    Bicycle rims: what tires fit?

    you probably will. Tubes will support a range of widths. If you are going as narrow as 1.4, you're existing tubes will most likely not fit.

    Request: Short film (3-4min) ideas. [With Strings attached]

    Even a short film is a lot of work. If you want to practice using your camera try create a series of 15 second vignettes from your area. Capture the way the sun dapples through the leaves of a tree, show how peoples sprinklers can make rainbows in the morning, kids playing in the park, a spider...

    Any Advances in Backpacks?

    Check out the Osprey Talon 22 or the Black Diamond Nitro. You can find both at REI. Better yet, go to REI and see what they recommend. You might consider getting a waist pack instead, there will be alot less movement and much better ventilation.

    Want to buy a Tonneau cover for Chevy S-10.

    I have a roll-n-lock roll up hard cover on my Tacoma. I'm pleased with it for the most part. It's versatile enough to let me roll up when I want to carry a large load, and roll closed if i want to protect something (snowboard, camping gear, tools, etc). The only issues are that it does shorten...

    I'm biking to work now, how do I not foul up the office?

    Another tip is to come in a bit earlier to give you time to cool down. When I bike in, I hang out at my cubicle for a couple minutes to eat breakfast or take care of e-mails while I cool down. If you are wearing technical fabrics on your ride, you shouldn't be sweating all that much anyway. If...

    Who here doesn't own a car?

    I've been car-light for the past 2 years. I'll bike the 8 miles into work most days but keep the truck for recreation, transportation of large loads, and as a back up for bad weather. Going car free would be a little too much of a commitment right now. I'd consider it if there was a zipcar-like...

    Panasonic LX3 v. Canon S90 for the outdoors?

    That is pretty much exactly the reason why I ended up with the LX3. I really wanted a P&S that I could take with me backpacking for primarily landscape shots. In those situations, zooming in is rarely an issue...while getting wide enough often is. I remember waking up one night after...

    Panasonic LX3 v. Canon S90 for the outdoors?

    Yeah thats part of what made pulling the trigger difficult. I'd normally wait and see what the update brought to the table, but the great outdoors were a waitin' and I had to settle for the best camera I could get right now :-)

    Panasonic LX3 v. Canon S90 for the outdoors?

    I guess its a toss up between competing features. The LX3 can go wider has better image quality, while the S90 is lighter and more compact. How significant would the extra 4mm be on the wide range?

    Panasonic LX3 v. Canon S90 for the outdoors?

    is trick or treating dead?

    I'd say we had about 150 kids this year and ran out of candy by around 8:30. As others have said, it really depends on your neighborhood. My parents had maybe a dozen. Makes sense though, the development they live in was built in the 80's so most of the people living there are empty nesters. My...
