How to give bike advice?
You know the drill, a "non-biker" at the workplace or friend wants to buy a bike to ride to work or weekend etc.
One workmate today told me he'd seen my bike(s) and want one just like it BUT only want to spend $100 (cough)
I tried to explain to him that my bikes cost $5k each but he's back with a unfazed reply, "so do you think i can get a good bike for $100 then"?
I try pushing the price up to $500+ where it gets some parts and names that inspire "some sort of confidence".
No, the price is firm, $100 only. What about a secondy? Nup - saw these new ones for that much at K Mart.
New mountain bike
Hi all,
I'm once again looking for your valued opinion and advice. Plus, I know it's great fun to spend someone else's money for a change 
I'm currently toying with the idea of buying my first dual suspension bike and since I'm not very tall or heavy, I'm specifically looking at women's bikes. My budget is $2500 (and this time I'd like to stick to it).
Here are three I have so far come up with. I have no idea about components when it comes to mountain bikes, so not sure how you would rate these.
Creating Tracks
Our definition of a 'track' here is a single line of co-ordinates that (given this is an cycling site) define a route which is a good place to ride. A track by itself is not a map but the idea is that many tracks grouped together do.

Ourimbah - Spring Fat Loops
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Hi To All,
Myself and a friend are planning on re-tracing the Spring Fat Tyre Festival loop Saturday evening. The plan is to do 2 laps in the late afternoon to get the bearings once again, have a short break and then put the lights on for a final lap. If anyone is keen, more than welcome to join us.
Sanyo Hybrid Electric/Human Powered Bicycle
I found this pretty cool..

If I didn't actually enjoy the thrill of pushing myself hard whilst commuting to work, this would actually be pretty good.
I reckon it'd be perfect for those who don't have the luxuries of showers at work.. and can get into work on a bike sweat free?
I like the regenerative braking system. Thats clever.
huh, cheaper than all our bikes too!
I'd never use it, but hey, if it gets more people on bikes, then all the better.
