I've been an avid cyclist for over a decade. I raced back in the day and now stick to commuting and touring. I also like to do my own maintenance, rebuild a bike here and there, and whenever I get a new bike (again, not as often as I'd like) I usually pick each part out individually and build it from the ground up.
I've been learning web development for some time now. I'm self-teaching in my spare time, so it's slow progress.
I've also recently discovered the wonderful world of Linux. I wouldn't call myself a "power user" so it's even slower progress than the web development.
I've been working in libraries for over a decade. I'm currently a Senior Public Services Associate at the Daniel Boone Regional Library.

Is this an abnormal rate of spoke breakage? Spokes will often loosen up within the first month or two of riding on a new wheel. Did you have the wheel retensioned after buying the bike? If not, that could be what led to your current situation. |

Does exercising solely through cycling cause injuries? Welcome to Bicycles SE. This site, like all Stack Exchange sites, is not a typical forum. Answer posts should directly answer the question. This post would be better suited as a comment than an answer on its own. |

Rim width / tire section tolerance? @Kibbee True. And tire widths are affected by the width of the rim. If one manufacturer builds their 28mm tire on rim that's Xmm wide and another builds it on a rim that's Ymm wide, you get two different size tires. |
