I'm on their listserve, but never had time to do anything with them. I emailed a few people about it last summer and hear anything until the fall, when they did a mass add to their listserv. Just wait and see. 6/1/2006 2:45:12 PM |

For future reference, don't ride in Durham. For some reason, the people here like to ride down the middle of the fucking road when there is a bike lane AND a sidewalk available and not use hand signals. Because a $600 cycling bike makes you above that. Some of the happen to get an ass full of radiator. Seriously - someone got hit here a while back.
Anyways, have fun!! 6/1/2006 10:03:20 PM |

Thats just a shitty bike...either spend under 100 on a super old steel road bike or get a real one for a couple grand....there is no middle ground, besides shit, steel bikes are the heat though, but yeah info on how to get on the listserv would be cool cause I too have sent emails with no result.6/1/2006 10:31:54 PM |

You can check out the group rides from Spin Cycle and Cycling Spoken here. They have them scheduled several times a week.
Or hit me up. I'll go riding with you, though it will have to be after work or on the weekends. 6/2/2006 9:01:25 AM |

^sounds like my road bike. I found it for 5 bucks at a flea market and added a bunch of scavenged parts. Its pretty ugly, but I can hold my own against yuppies on cannondales. 6/2/2006 9:57:41 AM |

That's awesome. I'm gonna have to start looking at flea markets and yard sales for a road bike then. Cause I sure as hell can afford $600-$2500 for a new one. 6/2/2006 1:01:30 PM |

^its almost not worth it, unless you enjoy fixing things for fun. I've spent 200 on it total. For a little more than that, you can get something pretty nice used. I had fun fixing my bike up, but most people would probably have trouble scrounging up some of the stuff I got for free.
edit: Try the Carrboro recyclery and North Road Cycles for free stuff. I should also warn you that my $5 flea market special was nowhere near rideable when I bought it. I essentially just got it for the frame. I replaced the wheels, tires, brakes, bottom bracket, rear derailleur, handlebars, and all the cables and housing. I also rebuilt a hub on one of the wheels I found. Long story short, be sure you can find most of your parts for free or it will not be worth it.
