For the tandem that is. Earlier this week I got a centerline drawing of the tandem dimensions. After studying it for a while I had a lot of trouble visualizing just how Nicole would fit in the stoker compartment. I tried to work the math out in my head then finally gave up and decided to give Brent a call.
I would like to welcome a new post author to the Incidental Cyclist. Richard Paul, my nephew, will be writing about various aspects of riding and training in Union County. He is not a novice to cycling, but is new to riding on the road. If you are a regular reader you may have already read his first post, if not it is the post just before this one.
About a month ago, I decided that owning and riding just mountain bikes wasn’t enough to feed my obsession. Seeing how both my Uncle (Bud) and his daughter are both roadies, I’m pretty familiar with road biking, and have followed the Tour de France off and on since the Indurain days, it was pretty easy to make the decision to get a new road bike for some fast riding and endurance building.
After returning from vacation and taking a week off from much of anything. Isn’t that the way it is with vacations, when you return you need a vacation! I finally finished and rode the single speed. I have two rides and about 21 miles on her. It is different. The geometry is such that I feel like I am rolled forward on the bike. The drops feel much more aggressive. The bike handles just a little bit quicker.

Sorry about not posting in the past week, I have been traveling for work and in meetings in Springfield, OR. Eugene/Springfield is a pretty good place to ride a bike but I could not bring one with me this trip. The nice thing about this is that one of my old riding buddies Len S. manages the best bike shop in Eugne, Hutch’s.
