$4.00 gas no suprise here.

I am 57 years old and started driving on .40 gasoline. I grew up in a modest household with 6 children. In those days of tight money we would jump in the old V8 Buick and go for a nice long Sunday drive of sight seeing (an inexpensive way to entertain the whole family) Since the Arab Oil Embargo in the 70s we have been warned this was coming. Like Forest Gump "I am not a smart man" but sorta understand basic supply and demand. (Thanks IUS School of Business) With China and India going through their own industrial revolutions the world market for energy has changed. I have watched in amazement as folks bought SUV's and built big homes in out lying bedroom communities. Now that people are starting to feel the pain they want someone to blame...

Ashley's Chrome Single Speed Motobecane

Sunday morning ride with The Louisville Bicycle Club

I met with the Louisville Bicycle Club this morning at the Heine Brothers on Bardstown Road. Weather was great for a 25 mile ride up River road and through Indian Hills. Perry Finley was ride captain and rode sweep - at the tail end so no one gets dropped or someone if needs mechanical help. Well by the end of the ride I was riding sweep with Perry up in front just far enough so as not to lose sight of me. All in all a great time with some great folks. Thanks LBC!

Mark's new Trek

Beth's Univega Ital Sport

I absolutely needed a third bike, as no upstanding bike-shop-groupie would be caught dead with just two bikes. So when this full campy Univega Ital Sport came in, in a harder to find 48cm frame size, I couldn't pass it up.

Some changes were made to make the Univega suit my preferences. We installed Tektro aero levers, as the Campy levers were difficult for my smaller hand size. Double sided MKS pedals replace the chunkier stock pedals. Brooks honey bartape and matching Brooks B17S saddle improve the overall look and feel.


This bike rides very fast and is very responsive. Now I can attempt to keep up with my husband on faster longer rides.
