I just got diagnosed with this today. It sucks and I am not supposed to be doing much typing so I have taken photos of the papers the Doctor gave me instead. These explain what it is, how it is caused and treated, and some exercises you can do as well. Sorry for the quality, I can't get my...

I'm doing another bike tour from Colorado to New York in the next few weeks. I already have all my gear since I did this six months ago to get here, but I need to get there in 30 days and was wondering if anyone had any luck touring and either hitch hiking or hopping freight trains. I'm making...

If you ever looked into buying panniers, you have probably found out they are one of those items on the niche market of cycling touring equipment that can be quite expensive. Even used they can run around $100. There are a lot of cheap and easy diy's out there if you do a google search. My...

Hey folks, just wanted to get everyone's opinion on bike trailers vs panniers. i'm gearing up for a west coast tour this spring, and while I'm mostly leaning towards panniers, i'd like to get your opinions on which you like better and why? thanks!

Here are some of the best photos I took from Colorado. Goes from Pueblo to Breckenridge with a part of Western Kansas at the end. There are others, but the max upload is ten files, so if you are interested in seeing more let me know and I'll make another post.

Not sure whether to post this in how to or bike touring. I made panniers out of kitty litter tubs so I can lug shit around on the cheap. They are awesome, you can remove them and take them in places so your stuff doesn't get stolen. They seem very durable. This guy took pictures and showed...

I know they exist, I have stayed in them before, but I can't seem to find a list of where they are in California. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Hey everyone, I've done a few bike tours in the past but it's been a few years now and I want to get back into it. I was lucky enough to have an awesome bike each time, but now I'm on a far more limited budget. What I'm wondering is if anyone here has any suggestions for road bikes that are...

At the end of this month I'll be heading west and I'm seriously considering bike travel. The main driving force here is because its something I haven't done yet, ha. Was curious if anyone would be interesting in joining me in this endeavor. I'll be heading out from Chicago, totally willing to...

so i'm driving around the country with the jeep for a little bit then i plan to sell it (really don't want to deal with insurance / registration / gas / possibility of getting in an expensive accident / etc). i'm looking at hitch-biking and it sounds kinda awesome. i can ride out of a bad spot...

Been wanting to make one for awhile. Has anyone else/any tips or ideas?

So me and two friends are biking from Indianapolis to Crested Butte Colorado, heading out in a week. When we get there we'll either be a) working at the ski resort there (you get free ski passes :D) or b) continue to bike whereever we please. b) is going to happen regardless, just might happen...

If you had your choice about it, would you rather hitch around, drive a vehicle, or ride a bicycle around? Why? What is it about your choice that you like and the others that would cause you to not do that?

Hey, y'all, we're a group of folks leaving from the San Francisco/Oakland area on an epic bike journey down the California coast down to San Diego, and perhaps further on after that on towards Southern Mexico. We'll be performing a shadow puppet show and playing music as we go along and we need...

I'm not too sure if this is the right section to post. I just got a new set of Ortlieb Front Roller Classic and the lower clip that secures onto the rack seems to not move unless loosened - when it is, it has too be tightened as it slides all over the shop. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong...
