Padded shorts

How nice, what else ya got on the peddle pushing machine?

Only joking, whatever it takes to keep you riding.

Now, tell everyone how you feel physically after a nice ride.

I am afraid that if I were to buy a bike now, it would have to have a bell, a wide seat, a basket, a wide seat, a kick stand, a wide seat, and last but not least........a wide seat!!!!

Sure would

Ya mean your buns are burnin

Stick with it, seats are like buying holsters, you'll waste a lot of money. Numbness just stay away from the V pill for awhile.

Don't even entertain the thought of buying a Brooks Leather Saddle, them things take months to break in.

Take a bubble bath tonight, 30 miles, cut back a little so those buns adjust from the soft cushions on your sofa to a manly seat.

Ya havin fun I'll bet.

I love Brooks saddles: B72, B66, B73 on my 3-speeds, B17 on my Surly. They break in for me in a few rides. Of course, most of mine come on my bikes, already broken in when I get them.

+1 on the Brooks saddles. Remember the saddle is your biggest point of contact on a bicycle. My experience with brooks is that they need no more breaking in than a proper fitting pair of shoes. I use sheepskin saddle covers on my bikes which add a LOT of comfort.
Bridgestone Kabuki Submariner ? I've had one since 1980, in fact I just went back to it for my daily commute, realized I hadn't ridden anything but 3 speeds for years. Great bike

Ya mean you didn't at least put him on your lap for awhile.

I scooped one up off the highway about 3 weeks ago up in Merrimac NH and pointed him in the right direction towards a stream, man did he run for that water. It was a baby one about 1/10 the size of your buddy.

Well, I have this one but I really need to use it more than I do.

If he, were a she, maybe.

Wonder where ladder13 is?

This morning I was relocating a woodchuck to a friendlier environment. This one has been bugging me since last year. NO, I can't use firearms around my house, too close to the neighbors.
So, after smoke bombs, pellet guns and sheer frustration, I set up one of those HaveaHeart metal traps.
I actually tried it about a month ago, with no success other than the turtle(no, not the same one pictured above) and a raccoon. Both, I released. The raccoon was nasty.
So, I go check the trap, and what do you know, a big brown fuzzy blob is inside. Looked very pregnant to me.
Picked up the cage, drove 10 miles(no way it's coming back unless it can cross a lake and major highway ). Released that thing to fend for itself in a hostile environment
Set the trap up again in case daddy shows up.

Coooool! When I came back from the First Gulf War I bought a Cannondale- I'd had another mountain bike of lower quality-While stationed in Holland and Germany I rode a bike to work year round-unfortunately here a bike is a target- unless you're on an approved path.

Did you check out your back seat on the way home?

It will probably be waving to you tomorrow, bright and early.

You don't think it is going to give up all that great pasta because of 10 miles do ya?
