Do you find it hard to share the road?

kaypow @kaypow (68) • Canada 10 Jul 11

It's summer here in Quebec, which means that non-drivers like me have the chance to jump for joy and pull their bicycles out of the shed after a long, LONG winter. Following a quick tune-up and a check of the tires, it's time to...

Jermboy608 @Jermboy608 (53) • United States 3 Jun 07

Tell me where your favorite place to bike is. I love to ride on a trail really close to my house that extends for over 50 miles in one direction. Its flat and I can just get on there and ride for hours at a time!
