I ride for fitness, enjoyment and an easier, less stressful commute.

On weekends I ride a custom (by Kennedy's Cycle Fit) road bike with Campag gear.

To commute I ride an SE Lager fixed (love the fixie!)

With the family I ride a Shogun hybrid.

I love to tinker with my bikes and won't go to a mechanic unless it's for something advanced or unfamiliar.

comment I want an cool urban/track bike with 3speeds. Could you recommend me one?
@PaulTDavies I'm not sure... I took my bike in and asked for a hub to fit it because I've been bitten by this issue before.

I think I've read that they use a shimano 3 speed hub. I went with a Sturmey Archer S-RF3

comment Can I buy handlebar tape in bulk
Thanks for the answer. I suspected that might be the case, but it's such a surprise. It seems so obvious to provide tape by the roll to shops.

comment How can somebody with Type I diabetes keep blood sugar levels acceptable during and after a multi-hour ride?
Scott Hanselman has a post describing some advanced techniques he uses and has some advice for exercising that might be relevant, but they rely on his continuous pump. See here hanselman.com/blog/HackingDiabetes.aspx

comment Inline trailers
I had a single trail a bike. When the kid throws his weight from side to side it can be quite unsettling. With two on the back, I imagine stability would become quite an issue.

comment Is my bike fit a problem, I'm experiencing achilles tendon pain?
Are you riding with normal shoes and platform pedals? Or are you using 'clipless' pedals with cleated shoes?
