direct name or a hint If the primary business is coffee/drinks/food, then I'd suggest a name with coffee and biking intertwined giving a hint to a potential customer. If actually selling, renting or servicing bikes, then I'd suggest a more direct name. Just a few ideas: The coffee ride...

This man already takes risks such as getting into traffic already, but I would rather manage my risks than jumping headfirst into a worst case scenario. The worst example I know, was stated earlier, is below. "A dog at the top of a climb is even worse. I knew a guy who needed a year off work to...

I currently live in Texas piney woods country and need a better idea to repel dogs during my rides. While the barking isn't too bad by itself, I don't like it when they are agitated and running next to me in the street. So far I've tried 1)riding offensively towards them, 2)yelling "BAD DOG" at...
