There's a few folks on the GCN network that rightfully regard balance bikes for children as one of the truly great bicycling innovations.

Those 80's Schwinn Mesa Runners MTBs are considered classic vintage rigid 'bombproof' steeds. I've a couple of pristine late 1980's Schwinn Cimarron's with handbuilt fillet brazed/butted frames and XT components....built just before Schwinn shit the bed in 1992.

Along with a relatively large fleet of MTBs, road bikes, and recumbents we have a couple of Tern cargo e-bikes, which are mid-drive Bosch. Everyone I know that's had hub drive has had various problems (some due to their attempts to hack the control systems into class 3). Mid-drives of all...

There are no 1st Amendment rights associated with a non-governmental web forum.

No...it just makes people not want to be around grumpy old farts (maybe that's the desired result). The constant bitchin' about cost just makes me glad to not be around a great many of my age cohorts.

What cheese goes best with whine?

Now that is the ultimate fishing machine! I suspect the electric drive unit (when deployed) even further contributes to the Hobie's inherent stability by lowering its center of gravity. The use of the modified Hobie scupper cassette to hold the drive is brilliant! It looks like you are able to...

It's amazing how much damage I can do at Chick-fil-A!

To truly channel OMJ you have to live in a state with minimal licensing fees, incredible fishing opportunities and repeatedly gloat about it on this sort of thread. It might work if you're old enough to gloat about the WA 70+ senior rate though!

Where do you carry your phone? 😁

Carrying some paper in your wallet just ain't that difficult....unless it's packed full of precious pilfered restaurant sugar/creamer packets, ancient expired coupons and a big wad of cash. I've never lost a wallet kept in a zippered pocket yet, and it's been fully immersed in water more than a...

For lakes (and even rivers) an Olive Willy is (as @flybill mentions above) is one of the most productive flies ever created...easy to tie and requiring few materials. Go ahead and fish those early attempts at tying; you'll quickly learn that trout are much less fussy about perfection than...

Had a lot of dogs over the years and quite a few had allergies...without conducting actual allergen testing (via vet administered allergen panels) it's often a real crapshoot finding the problem. Just like humans these critters can suddenly develop an allergic reaction to something they've been...

I'm getting to the point of not going anywhere with old people (and I'm 74) because all they do is bitch about the price of everything...even when they're very often at a point in their lives when they have no financial worries. Yeah...candy bars once cost a nickel...get over it.

If Norwegian Cruise Lines provides some super offers on Strait of Hormuz trips you might want to hold off for awhile! 🤣

This thread has taken the winter shacknasties to a completely new level! 🤣

The menace of cruise ship norovirus is far more concerning than either....

The cruises are filled with old farts, who'll be fast asleep shortly after scarfing down their 4 PM early bird specials. 😃

Those photos should become a closely guarded family secret! Have a safe trip!
