Quoted: To maximize comfort and performance on a bicycle, fit is essential. To insure accuracy work with a partner, take all measurements 3 times and then take the average. The WS Fit System is very precise and requires exact measurements to fit you correctly. Our recommendations will only be as good as your measurements. This will enable WS.com to recommend the correct size frame and stem length for your body type ensuring proper ergonomic fit.

Suggests a frame size, saddle height, handlebar width and reach.

Quoted: Bicycle-sharing programs have sprung up and taken off across Europe, on a scale no one had thought possible and in places where bicycling had never been popular.

Many of these bikes seem to use the same frame across a series... might be a good idea to get the cheapest bike using a certain frame and upgrade components as needed. Reviews are generally very favourable especially from the Roubaix upwards.

Fujis are often on sale at Performance Bike priced well below msrp. Most carbon models are available as framesets.

Quoted: In the Single Speed World Championship bicycle race, riders are encouraged to wear costumes and not take the race too seriously. Some racers wore Boy Scout uniforms. Others wore pajamas, a full-body neon skinsuit, bunny ears or fishnet tights. Men willing to do the entire race in briefs received special prizes. Hecklers along the course route threw beer cans and shouted insults.

My custom Google Map of about 30miles of connecting bike trails from Seattle(Fremont) to Bothell to Marymoore Park in Redmond to Sammamish.

I'll finish the East Lake Sammamish trail(which stretches south to Issaquah) on the map as I complete it on my bike. See my last "cycling" fave for pdf maps of the larger King County trail system.
