I bought my fourth bike, a blue Jamis Tangier, #WLH3438M, on 4 September 1997.
A few days before its 10th birthday, the right chainstay cracked.

I dug up the original receipt (from DC’s awesome City Bikes) and did a little calling around. It seemed likely that Jamis would honor the lifetime frame warranty, but it also seemed […]

OMG JamSpot so totally rocks! When I first heard about this place, I figured there was no way I could afford to rehearse there. Nice equipment in good condition, rooms with honest-to-goodness acoustic treatment, and ample off-street parking!?

At least, let’s hear it for two of them.
Buying an SUV is the product of a decision-making process I can’t imagine myself following, and SUV drivers are often notably rude to pedestrians and cyclists alike.
I try not to pre-judge, but sometimes I do. I’m generally prepared for a negative outcome from any particular SUV encounter […]

At some point in the last year, one of the bolts on the side of my bikerack worked itself loose. This is one of those nagging little things that I often don’t get around to fixing for a while. It doesn’t affect the functionality of the bike much (although it’s been more annoying since I […]

I’ve whined in the past about long, obscure link addresses, so I was delighted to see a best-in-breed URL for an article at Tufts Daily.
I prefer to use non-graphical email clients, so if you email me a link, I often see something kinda like this:

It’s a little hard to read in the screen capture, […]
