2013-04-08 view I have a friend with really big feet that would like to try cycling. I'm loaning him a bike that needs bike shoes. Anyone have some old size 48 (~13.5 U.S.) shoes just catching dust in the garage.
Thanks, Wes Hale

2013-02-19 view Hi fellow club members... My Felt S25 (silver color) 54cm triathlon bicycle was stolen over the 2/18/2013 weekend. If you happen to see one or if someone offers it for sale, please contact me at george.wu@juno.com OR inform Garden Grove PD (a police report is being taken)
A few bicycle-specific info.... the bike was repainted but not professionally so it feels rough/dull to the touch; there is a small dent on the top tube; the rear tire is an antipuncture Continental tire; There are also a little bits of silver paint overspray on the wheel and the fork.

News & General Discussion 11-28 SRAM Rear Cassette vs Simano 12-27view 2013-03-13 Aaron:
I am sure you got an answer by now, but, yes, I have been riding a 50/34 with an 11-27 for lots of years. For flatland riding, I'll put on an 11-23. For really ugly climbs like Breathless Agony, I have gone to an 11-34 mountain bike rear cassette, long cage derailleur, and a compact double.
Currently, we are using the SRAM Wi-Fly gearing in the back in either an 11-30 or an 11-32 with a mid cage derailleur with either Shimano or SRAM shifters, 9 or 10 speed. Most of the riders we have converted love the lower gearing for the long, steep stuff.
News & General Discussion Rental Bicycles in OC?view 2013-03-13 Trail's End Cycling Center, a BCI sponsor, rents road, mountain bikes, and touring bikes. The rental fleet has several carbon fiber models from Scott, Cyfac, and a few Jamis bikes in sizes from 46 to 61. While TECC can set up out-of-towners with nice rental bikes, we also use the rental program as an "extended" test ride or demo for those looking for a new bike. You can rent the bike that you are thinking about and really give it a good test drive before you buy. TECC will then credit up to 7 days' rental fees towards the purchase of a new bike.
Crashes we can learn from! Santiago Canyon SEview 2012-10-30 When cycling S.E. through Santiago Cyn beware of traffic from Ridgeline Rd, the last "T" intersection on your right before Cook's Corner. Coming down that last grade is fast for cyclists, and vehicles coming down the grade on Ridgeline Rd often roll through the stop sign and into the bike lane. A riding buddy of mine about 30 feet in front of me got cut off by a motorist who fled the scene and cartwheeled onto her face last May. She spent a couple of months in the brain trauma unit of Mission Hospital. She also fractured two vertabrae, her cheeckbone and had extensive bruises and lacerations. She is almost back to normal except that it takes about one year to fully recover from brain trauma. Would have liked to have had a motorcycle helmet on for that one. I suggest approaching Ridgeline Rd with caution, also watching traffic over your left shoulder in case you need to veer out of the bike lane to avoid "California stops." Hope this helps.
