I've lost track already! Anyway, I love polls! Walter

Sweetly so, almost as ironic, in fact, as answering "yes" ! Walter

Not strictly a Not strictly a cycling app, but I use cardiotrainer on my android and find that it works pretty well to keep track of my rides. A friend uses endomondo, I think that it may be better than cardiotrainer. Walter

Yes, there is a lot of traffic in SJ, but there are lots of folks riding also as the sport has grown a lot in popularity here. As I said above, I'd call the shops before coming over to see if its worthwhile. I live and ride mostly along the west and southern coast where we have many kms of...

Hi Brent. I ride and race on the West Coast of PR. I am not very familiar with riding in the SJ area, but do know that there are a lot of strong cyclists out there. I also know that traffic in many areas around there is very heavy, so you really need to hook up with a group of locals who are...

Yes, thanks! I'll tune in tomorrow, seems it could be quite interesting.

Not a tear jerker, but... for a rather (amusingly) weird dog movie, check out Baxter. IIRC its a french movie, late '80s or '90s.

That was I thought of it. Pretty cool stuff.

Wow! Thanks! That made me recall so many memories of my very first "serious" ride.

Hi all, and greetings from Puerto Rico. I don’t post all that much here, but I’ve been reading the forum for quite some time. Anyway, I’ll be working at the University of Delaware in Newark DE during June and July. I’ve been there before and always see folks riding around, but was wondering...
