    I have a hybrid (Schwinn Badlands). I recently bought thinner road tires for it, which helped a lot, but the components are crap so I get into trouble shifting on some steeper hills. I'm looking at buying a Trek 1200, or comparable, after my first 1000 miles which should be around Christmas.

    :( I tried to mountain bike in S. Florida and I just couldn't do it, too much pain, so no more biking for me. So I gave away my beloved schwinn mesa le. (I put the police tires on it and it did wonders in the city when I lived in Savannah)

      Why go through the hassle of bottles? Just put the keg above head level, and use a tube... ;)

      The mental picture there brings back college memories. My school had a spring festival day called 'May Daze', emphasis on the 'daze'. I remember seeing a bunch of guys with a funnel and a piece of tubing, using it to drink entire pitchers of beer at one time :omg:.

        Indeed. I quit smoking on January 1, 1991. I started running and bicycling the next year. The first couple of years I had one overuse injury after another. Shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, stress fractures, and bruised meniscus in my knees. I was complaining to my doctor, and he explained it to me. He told me I had an addictive personality, and had substituted a positive addiction for a negative one. He said his goal was to help my body survive the 'breaking-in' period of my new addition so that I could continue feeding it :). Fifteen years later, it's still working. I've run over 10,000 miles in that time, and ridden probably 5,000 miles. I would like to ride more than I do, but I'm a sissy about riding in poor weather.

        I tried getting into kickboxing, weightlifting and running in the past year and I grew tired of all of them. So far, cycling seems to be the most promising for me. I can ride socially as well as solo. It's also the only activity I enjoyed enough to quit smoking for. It's been 12 days. :)

          Bummer. I think with a properly fitting bike you may find the pain will go away. I could be wrong though.

          That's one town I've always wanted to visit. Some friends went down to Tybee Is. recently and took some photos of Savannah as well. Looks like a beautiful town.

              I'm sure it's coming along nicely. I really liked your new white wolf flute. Very cool. I can hardly be judgmental of anyone learning an instrument, just ask my neighbors how my guitar playing is. :rolleyes:

                The cops are everywhere and they check tags before they check speed. (Knee pain is unrelated to the bike, btw)

                  uh huh.... you asked for it.... Please note that Midnight Snow was recorded less than 3 months after getting my first flute. And you can hear the white wolf to see if it sounds good (minus overblowing the poor microphone -- PC mic, now I have a pro mic for this year's recording). http://www.zianet.com/jjustinb/music.html[^]
