Unless the pavement had residual micturition. On that note - spot on comments all around, Tan! Even down to the coast to coast land-speed record being broken....those guys don't deserve scorn, they should be lauded. Half of american culture is based on motor cars exceeding the speed limit!! Speed is integrated into american heritage, Edwin Cannonball Jones was an American hero in 1914 when he established the motorized cannonball run record on a motorbike. You're so right, it's not the speed freaks driving like a regiment of seasoned autobahn drivers, it is all the short trips in SUVs that are the problem.... and i bet 95% of the critics of the land speed record breakers DRIVE A LOT THEMSELVES. Americans are largely blind to the elephant in the room called motordom. In denial if we can even see it. "what's that, an elephant on Main street? What? It costs HOW MUCH to feed? seriously? And we all get fat? And seniors and kids get trapped in suburbia? You've got to be kidding we've all been paying through the nose for that." NO ONE mentions those things. it's all brushed under the rug, got to drive to the store.... but hey, it's okay to use Lucas B as the reason to not like bicyclists. or, at least, symbolic.<br /><br />Beck the bikernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-38050161276933057182019-12-09T22:50:58.152-05:002019-12-09T22:50:58.152-05:00“Every seat i have is sharp as a razor, so you alw...“Every seat i have is sharp as a razor, so you always play to roll...” I’d love to know if anyone anywhere could possibly have a <i>different</i> favorite Brunelle quote!<br />Hey, and i liked the split advocacy/fun bsnyc channels while the forecast was running.

Cut at an angle to adjust the size beyond what your junk tube selection provides. Pull the valves out when they fail to make nifty elastic bands for tying up pretty much anything. Just pass the end of the tube underneath its own wrap and you usually won't need a knot.<br /><br />What's scary big is my 47 year-old pile of tubulars that are junk, or need patching. These days, if some sealant won't fix it, it's just added to the pile. I once patched six sewups in one day. I don't think I've patched six more in the past 20 years.Steve Barnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141738452735566462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-30490066826784369072019-12-09T20:34:17.048-05:002019-12-09T20:34:17.048-05:00What's the difference between a Mercedes and a...What's the difference between a Mercedes and a porcupine?HDEBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-81937965769749692032019-12-09T19:18:35.472-05:002019-12-09T19:18:35.472-05:00I have to confess I speed on the Thruway but never...I have to confess I speed on the Thruway but never on city streets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-60821483413110255612019-12-09T19:16:01.017-05:002019-12-09T19:16:01.017-05:00Tire pile?....Guilty as charged.....In fact, I'...Tire pile?....Guilty as charged.....In fact, I've still have some 700x20's that must be 20 years old.<br />Tube pile?....No sir...….A few years ago, I bought one of those Rema tip top boxes with 100 patches in it....Got rid of my tube pile.<br />Grumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888087510150612547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-18739366549551042982019-12-09T19:07:01.547-05:002019-12-09T19:07:01.547-05:00During the filming of Cannonball Run, a spurious r...During the filming of Cannonball Run, a spurious rumor developed that Adrienne Barbeau and Farrah Fawcett were thespians.

And if you remember driving long distances in the double-nickel era you can sympathize a little with the spirit of the original Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. Speeding on the interstate is not really an issue cyclists need to worry about much. <br /><br />Also, my inner tube pile grows until the replacement tube inventory starts to get thin, and then a mass patching event takes place. When patching is no longer possible they go in the Anonymous at 3:31 PM pile of useful rubber toroids. On the other hand, when a road tire comes off the bike, there's nothing left of it to keep. MTB and 'cross tires are a different story, of course. <br />Some guy from upstatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-71456869948582490872019-12-09T16:34:41.245-05:002019-12-09T16:34:41.245-05:00I know you guys have limits in New York, but seein...I know you guys have limits in New York, but seeing as that clip was from Texas I'll just say that open carry makes everyone more polite.Houstonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-81990735140881370072019-12-09T16:08:51.780-05:002019-12-09T16:08:51.780-05:00Without the SUV school run there's no tv show ...Without the SUV school run there's no tv show Big Little Lies. paulbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749683546064280367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-76108376025325033532019-12-09T15:59:36.095-05:002019-12-09T15:59:36.095-05:00I'm glad that you did not abandon your misconc...I'm glad that you did not abandon your misconceptions about triathletes following your ride with Brad.<br /><br />reCAPTCHA = Parking MetersChazunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-28424644266311940522019-12-09T15:42:32.453-05:002019-12-09T15:42:32.453-05:00Yeah, the bitch in the F-Shitfifty deserves a soun...Yeah, the bitch in the F-Shitfifty deserves a sound thrashing at minimum.

The rubber makes them hold a simple overhand knot like you wouldn't believe. And they are amazingly strong, I really don't want to admit what large items I've tied down/pulled with them, the Christmas tree on the roof of the car is just the start. Inner tubes are one of those items that are more useful after they've been used for their original purpose.
