When I'm not bicycling, I'm a Linux SysAdmin. I'm on the board of my local bicycle advocacy group.
Bikes are my primary transportation. A 2009 Surly Long Haul Trucker, set up as a commuter and a 2012 Trek Ion CX. I also take the bus, but do not own a car.

What components do I need for a road bike that will endure touring on bad roads Sorry, but this is really too open-ended and too likely to endless discussion. There's really no clear answer. I think you need to narrow this question down quite a bit. At the very least, more about what kind of touring you'll be doing. Try to ask what to look for, rather than for specific product recommendations... |

bike racks for outdoor use at a school Is this in a secured area, or will students need to lock their bikes to the racks? |

Are these chainrings the reason my chain skips/hops? Does it skip more when the chain is on the larger chainring than when it's on the smaller chainring? If you look at the teeth, there's an obvious difference in how much wear each has. |

Any idea of the origin of using the term 'gucci' for parts? I checked with somebody on English Language & Usage and they thought it looked like a good question for them, so I'll migrate it there. |

Any idea of the origin of using the term 'gucci' for parts? I'm pretty sure 'gucci' is a general (not bike specific) term for high end stuff. |

Bicycle production/sales figures? Google Trends can let you compare how often different things have been searched for over time. For instance: schwinn letour vs. schwinn voyageur |

Can I replace a 1/2 inch bolt with a 14mm one to secure my axle? 15mm is the bolt size I usually see on axles. |

Bicycle production/sales figures? That's interesting, and but doesn't really seem to answer the question at all... |

Is it OK to use coffee or other drinks to clean road rash? Personally, I'd avoid anything with any sugar or anything else bacteria or fungus could thrive on. |
