Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

And shocker, the guy representing the victim is part of the team headed up by Pam Mackey who turned Hurlbert inside out during the Kobe Bryant rape case.

Just remember:  what's on your skull may help you in an accident but it's what's below it that may keep you out of one in the first place.

I think you mean "U-Lock". Get the smallest U-Lock you can get.

One other problem is the lack of places with reasonable bike racks around town (at least in Pueblo).  I had some jerkoff in a black cap and t-shirt grab my ride.  Thankfully a couple of people rode him down in a car and got it back, but lesson was learned.  If they don't have a bike rack, move on (after telling the locale about the reason why you aren't spending money there, of course).
