I had a request to show how I attached the Hotshot to my helmet. I am riding with my Nite Rider Pro 1800 Race mounted on my helmet. I clip the hotshot on the headlight cable that goes to the battery in my back pack.
I also included pictures of all of my other lights, four total. I have a white flasher on my front shock, two small flashers left and right on my rear rack. I also have a Hotshot on my seat post. I have one Cateye on the rear of my rack.
When I have a bag on my rack I can easily unclip the Hotshot on my seat post and put it on my helmet, back pack or cycling jersey pocket.
Oh, and I found out that Burley in Eugene, OR is no longer a coop. The duckbill was made by Burley along with my rain coat. The raincoat was a casualty of the "incident" on March 17 at the. I am currently looking for another cycling jacket that I can use in the rain as there is no replacement for the Burley rain coat. Glad I still have the Duckbill.

What the heck, Garmin 810 with a red protector. I am using the Road bike mounting bracket because my
brake levers are too close to mount it on the bar using the small mount with the two bands.
For those of you who may be wondering about why this bike only has one front shock, well I will give you the reason.
The Cannondale Lefty has been around for a long time. The Lefty offers these advantages. Chassis stiffness, plushness, lack of bushing bind during braking, best stiffness to weight ratio for forks of the same class, and yes, you don't have to take the wheel off to change a flat!
Here is a video that will show you why I love the Green Thumper.
Lonnie Wormley at the Albany Museum of Art Evening rides During the month of July I have been riding my bike on Saturday and Sunday evenings. After a day of working on my house and performing various yard and renovation projects I take time to ride my Trek Pure through the neighborhood streets of the city that I love. Riding my bike is always a transcendental experience for me and I enjoy the peace of mind that comes from rhythmically moving my body on a bike through quite neighborhood streets. This past weekend the weather made for some cooler rides than earlier in the month. Rain showers were a pleasant treat on Saturday's ride. Riding in the summer rain is one of the simple pleasures that I enjoy this time of year. Not many cyclist that I know in Albany look forward to getting wet on their bikes. When was the last time you intentionally rode a bike through a deep puddle of water on purpose? Go with the flow, it's just a game Planning my rout...
I wanted to capture some of the information on the Internet written about my bike, a custom 1999 Serotta Rapid Tour (SRT). I have about 10,000 miles on this bike. This year alone I have 2,500 miles on it. I have 1,000 miles so fare in April on this bike. I have can only remember one major tune up done on this bike. Here is an interesting discussion that I found about my bike on the Pace Line Forum . Here is a quote about the bike that I own and love "Rapid Tour was Serotta's version of a bike that would fit reasonably sized tires with fenders, and could carry light luggage for credit card touring. In a word, "sensible" and not just a fair weather toy for let's play racer. There's nothing "low end" about that." ~ palincss 05-01-2010 03:33 PM I think that I have upgraded my components from what was on the stock SRT. My SRT has Shimano Ultegra derailleur and the stock SRT has a Shimano 105 derailleur. Here a photo of a stock SRT. ...
Today I rode my wife's bike to work. I took my Serotta Rapid Tour to the bike shop this weekend for a tuneup. I was going to drive to work today, but Chris Davies gave me the inspiration to get the backup bike and ride anyway. It was quite an experience riding upright without the benefit of having my feet locked to my pedals. I decided to just take my short route and enjoy the view. riding the Trek that was clearly not my size drives home the need for a bike fit. I also realized that seat position is critical for long rides. Anyone considering riding more than 20 KM on a comfort bike is really brave. Anyway I got my bike commute on today.
