Post 200km brevet bike repairs 2010-02-07 03:25PM
I was talking to one of the bike shop guys, while still bruised up from my fall, and he told me how shocked he was about all of the cycling injuries and their beat up bikes he'd seen. I told him "Yeah, but imagine if you were working at an auto repair shop."

"Yeah," he replied, "but cars have all the protection around you."

"True," I replied, "but if you worked in auto repair, you'll get to repair cars with bikes smashed on the hood, while here you don't have to repair bikes with cars smashed on the hood."

At 6:30 AM, about two weeks ago, I found myself near the Golden Gate bridge, ready for my first randonnée. I was one of very few people who were there with flat handlebars. Most everybody had road bikes with roadie handlebars. I had my mountain bike with a suspension fork (which is, after all, the only bike I own). We had our safety briefing and then went on our way. I had my first problem of the day when my front light popped off and I had to rescue it on the Golden Gate while not getting run over or knocking down any of the other cyclists. Soon, we were all riding down through Sausalito on our brevet.

One of the basic lessons that they teach in places like business schools and need to spend a lot of time hammering into your head... because it feels so unnatural... is the sunk costs fallacy. Emotionally, we hate throwing out something we spent good money on. But sunk costs are gone forever, the only thing that matters are the costs in front of you.
What about reflectors? 2010-01-31 08:28PM
There are plenty of exciting articles out there about reflectors. People will cover themselves with all sorts of funky reflector materials, just in case.
