I was running late, so I threw my Surly Long Haul Trucker on the rack and headed 12 miles up to his school.</p><p>As I was cranking along at 65 miles per hour, I noticed in the rearview mirror that my front fender was flexing a little more than usual. I figured it was just getting buffeted by the wind coming off an 18-wheeler next to me.</p><h3>Planet Bike fender had cracked</h3><p><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Front-rack-and-fenders-01-12-2009.jpg" rel="lightbox[6879]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6882" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="Front rack and fenders 01-12-2009" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Front-rack-and-fenders-01-12-2009-185x300.jpg" alt="Front rack and fenders 01 12 2009 185x300 What Do You Owe Your LBS?" width="185" height="300" /></a>When I got to his house, I took a closer look. The front fender had cracked and was barely holding on by a thread. I guess it must have developed &#8220;plastic fatigue.&#8221;</p><p>The fender was a Planet Bike Cascadia, so I went to their website to see if they had a local dealer who might have a replacement in stock. Bingo! Not only did they have a local dealer, it was one I had done business with. I&#8217;m not going to name the dealer for reasons that will become apparent.</p><h3>A call to a local bike shop</h3><p>&#8220;Hi, do you have a Planet Bike Cascadia fender in stock?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;No, but I can order you one.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to have to order it, is there any financial advantage to having you order it versus me ordering it direct.&#8221;</p><p>His tone changed and he said, &#8220;If you order stuff off the Internet, where are you going to go for local service 10 years from now when all the local shops are out of business?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Whoa, wait a minute. I support local bike shops. I bought two bikes from you. I&#8217;ve bought accessories from you. I&#8217;ve sent friends to you.&#8221;</p><p>He just kept asking, &#8220;Does Planet Bike put back anything into the local biking community? Does Planet Bike put anything back into the local biking community? Answer me that, yes or no.&#8221;</p><p>Finally, I had to admit that, the answer was &#8216;no&#8217;.</p><h3>Planet Bike donates 25% of profits to advocacy groups</h3><p>I wish I had known this about Planet Bike while we were having our discussion:</p><p><em><a href="http://www.planetbike.com/page/grassroots/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6887" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="Planet Bike logo" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Planet-Bike-logo.gif" alt="Planet Bike logo What Do You Owe Your LBS?" width="94" height="70" /></a>Planet Bike helps out by donating 25% of company profits to grassroots bicycle advocacy groups. These groups of people lobby local, state and federal government to make our communities more bicycle friendly.   Learn more about how these folks are <a title="Planet Bike link" href="http://www.planetbike.com/page/grassroots/advocacy/bangforbuck/" target="_blank">Making It Happen</a>.</em></p><p><em>Since 1996 Planet Bike has donated over $1,000,000 to grassroots bicycle advocacy. Most of our money goes to the Alliance for Biking &amp; Walking, (formerly the Thunderhead Alliance), a coalition of 160 bicycle advocacy groups across the nation that are working together to promote safe bicycling. </em></p><h3>May I speak with the owner?<em><br /> </em></h3><p>I asked if I could speak to XXXXX, the owner, a guy I thought I knew from doing business in the shop and from seeing him  at biking events.</p><p>&#8220;You&#8217;re talking to him.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;This is Ken Steinhoff,&#8221; I said, hoping we could connect on what I believed had been a previous friendly personal relationship. &#8220;I TRIED to do business with you. You were my FIRST call.&#8221;</p><h3>How many products does Planet Bike Carry?</h3><p>&#8220;Do you have any idea how many products Planet Bike carries?&#8221;</p><p>I had to admit that I didn&#8217;t have a clue.</p><p>&#8220;Well, lots. I can&#8217;t afford to stock one of everything that they carry for someone who might come in once a year to buy it.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;You won&#8217;t have to worry about ME coming into your shop in the future.&#8221;</p><h3>How could I have handled this better?</h3><p>Maybe the exchange would have been less testy had I said, &#8220;I was really hoping to get one right away. I&#8217;ll call some of the other bike shops to see if they have it in stock.&#8221;</p><p>I really wasn&#8217;t trying to beat him up on price. I threw out the question about price advantage to give him an opening to save the sale.</p><p>Had he said, &#8220;I can have it here in two days, at the same price,&#8221; I might have thrown him the order, even though he&#8217;s a 26-mile round trip from my house. If I order it online, a nice man in a delivery truck will drop it off at my front door.</p><p>I don&#8217;t know how Planet Bike works and/or what their price structure for dealers is.  I was looking for speed more than price, all things being equal. I know that some shops won&#8217;t place an order with a distributor until they get enough together to make it worth their while. If this place is like that, I&#8217;d rather deal direct.</p><h3>What IS  a local bike shop, anyway?</h3><p><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/double-legged-kickstand.jpg" rel="lightbox[6879]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6885" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="Double-legged kickstand" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/double-legged-kickstand-199x300.jpg" alt="double legged kickstand 199x300 What Do You Owe Your LBS?" width="199" height="300" /></a>Several years ago I considered buying a double-legged kickstand. I knew <a title="Link to Harris Cyclery" href="http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/index.html" target="_blank">Harris Cyclery</a> carried them, so I called Boston to ask some questions. When I started to place my order, the guy at the other end said, &#8220;I KNOW you. I&#8217;ve seen your name on some of the bike forums.&#8221;</p><p>That&#8217;s better recognition than I can get from shops that are just up the road from me.</p><h3>Hubbub Bicycles</h3><p>Diane Lees of <a title="Link to Hubbub Custom Bicycles" href="http://www.hubbubcustom.com/" target="_blank">Hubbub Custom Bicycles</a> in Cleveland and I have never met, but we&#8217;ve exchanged several dozen bantering emails over the past decade.</p><p>She&#8217;s my regular supplier for helmet-mounted <a title="Link to Chuck Harris Mirror review" href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/looking-back-at-my-chuck-harris-rearview-mirror/" target="_blank">Chuck Harris mirrors </a>and she&#8217;s an active <a title="Link to bicycle touring group" href="http://www.phred.org/" target="_blank">phred</a>.  Is SHE my LBS?</p><h3>Peter White Cycles</h3><p>I&#8217;ve never seen Peter White, but I&#8217;ve bought a two generator hubs and a bunch of lighting equipment from <a title="Link to Peter White" href="http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/" target="_blank">Peter White Cycles</a> of New Hampshire. His bedside manner is a bit rough, but he knows about as much about lighting as any guy in the country. Is HE my LBS?</p><h3>Will my local bike shop be extinct?</h3><p>To go back to the question the owner of my <strong>former</strong> LBS asked, &#8220;What will you do if all the local bike shops go out of business?</p><p>The answer is, I&#8217;ll learn to do more of my own wrenching, and I&#8217;ll spend my money where people don&#8217;t cop an attitude.</p><p>No related posts.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/what-do-you-owe-your-lbs/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Droid Incredible, a Bridge and a Blader</title><link>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/droid-incredible-a-bridge-and-a-blader/</link> <comments>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/droid-incredible-a-bridge-and-a-blader/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 31 Jul 2010 04:05:17 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ken Steinhoff</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Ask Ken]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Videos]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/?p=6857</guid> <description><![CDATA[Reader Pam Henderson sent me a question the other day, &#8220;Know what the grade is on Lake Worth Bridge?&#8221; Lake Worth Bridge I told her I&#8217;d have to dig out some old GPS tracks to calculate it, then I realized that I have on application on my brand-new Verizon HTC Droid Incredible that emulates a [...]Related posts:<ol><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/lake-worth-bridge-serving-floridians-since-1919/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Lake Worth Bridge, Serving Floridians since 1919'>Lake Worth Bridge, Serving Floridians since 1919</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/a-new-look-at-the-royal-park-bridge/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: A New Look at the Royal Park Bridge'>A New Look at the Royal Park Bridge</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/bike-riding-to-st-louis-chain-of-rocks-bridge/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Bike Riding to St. Louis Chain of Rocks Bridge'>Bike Riding to St. Louis Chain of Rocks Bridge</a></li></ol>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reader Pam Henderson sent me a question the other day, &#8220;Know what the grade is on <a title="Link to story on Lake Worth Bridge" href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/lake-worth-bridge-serving-floridians-since-1919/" target="_blank">Lake Worth Bridge</a>?&#8221;</p><h3>Lake Worth Bridge</h3><p><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LW-Bridge-802_5464.jpg" rel="lightbox[6857]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6859" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Lake Worth FL Bridge 12-19-2008" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LW-Bridge-802_5464-500x258.jpg" alt="LW Bridge 802 5464 500x258 Droid Incredible, a Bridge and a Blader" width="500" height="258" /></a>I told her I&#8217;d have to dig out some old GPS tracks to calculate it, then I realized that I have on application on my brand-new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HC8NUW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwpalmbeachb-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B003HC8NUW">Verizon HTC Droid Incredible</a> that emulates a level.

I set the phone up on the bridge railing, which appeared to be parallel to the bridge deck and saw that the angle was somewhere between 3 and 4 degrees, with a rise of about one inch of climbing for every foot of horizontal travel.</p><p>The photo also shows that my <a title="Link to Glo Gloves review" href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/glo-gloves-add-safety-to-night-riding/" target="_blank">Glo Gloves</a> are beginning to come unraveled.</p><h3>Roller Blader Lynn Pohl</h3><p><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lynn-Pohl-07-28-2010_7092.jpg" rel="lightbox[6857]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6860" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Lynn Pohl 07-28-2010" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lynn-Pohl-07-28-2010_7092-500x347.jpg" alt="Lynn Pohl 07 28 2010 7092 500x347 Droid Incredible, a Bridge and a Blader" width="500" height="347" /></a>While mucking around with my camera and Droid, a roller blader whizzed past me on her way up the bridge. She and Osa were chatting at the top of the bridge when I got there.</p><p>&#8220;How fast do you go DOWN the bridge?&#8221; I asked.</p><p>&#8220;Pretty fast, when these walkers get past us, but I don&#8217;t know exactly how fast,&#8221; she replied.</p><h3>20 mph down the bridge</h3><p>I paced her on the downstroke, calling out speeds as we went along. Two-thirds of the way down, she hit  20 miles per hour and held it for some distance. Unfortunately, I pushed the wrong button on my video camera and missed capturing her descent.</p><p>At the intersection of A1A and Lake Worth Road, she turned south onto the multi-use path that parallels the road. I decided to follow her to see how fast she could go on the flats. She rarely dropped below 11 mph and frequently topped 15, for an average of about 14.4 mph.</p><h3>A1A Trail between Lake Worth Road and Lantana</h3><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="500" height="405" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MTqrw5mZ3Hw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="405" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MTqrw5mZ3Hw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/lake-worth-bridge-serving-floridians-since-1919/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Lake Worth Bridge, Serving Floridians since 1919'>Lake Worth Bridge, Serving Floridians since 1919</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/a-new-look-at-the-royal-park-bridge/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: A New Look at the Royal Park Bridge'>A New Look at the Royal Park Bridge</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/bike-riding-to-st-louis-chain-of-rocks-bridge/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Bike Riding to St. Louis Chain of Rocks Bridge'>Bike Riding to St. Louis Chain of Rocks Bridge</a></li></ol></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/droid-incredible-a-bridge-and-a-blader/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>7</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Full Moon on Lake Okeechobee</title><link>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/full-moon-on-lake-okeechobee/</link> <comments>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/full-moon-on-lake-okeechobee/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 27 Jul 2010 06:47:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ken Steinhoff</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bike Rides and Routes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/?p=6839</guid> <description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been telling my riding partner, Osa, how nice it is to ride the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) for months, but weather and schedules have kept us from going out until this weekend.

Sunday night was supposed to be a Full Moon, so I thought it would be a perfect introduction for her.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Rain made it look iffy</h3><p style="text-align: left;">Rain chances were put at 40%, but some pretty heavy boomers were popping up around the lake, then moving on. We decided to risk it. We got on the road about 5:45 p.m. intending to go where my Droid Incredible radar showed the least weather. All things being equal, we were going to start so we&#8217;d have a headwind out and a tailwind for the return.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The first thing that went wrong was that my normal route was under construction. A detour took us about 10 miles out of our way. That wasn&#8217;t so bad, though, because Osa hadn&#8217;t had a chance to see much of the Glades farming area. She was disappointed when we saw only one alligator in a canal that I said, frequently, had a couple of dozen.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Nubbins Slough looked rain-free</h3><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Nubbins-Slough-07-25-2010_7069.jpg" rel="lightbox[6839]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6844" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Nubbins Slough 07-25-2010" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Nubbins-Slough-07-25-2010_7069-500x167.jpg" alt="Nubbins Slough 07 25 2010 7069 500x167 Full Moon on Lake Okeechobee" width="500" height="167" /></a>We opted to put in at Nubbins Slough, on the northeast corner of the lake. The winds were out of the southeast at 8-12 mph, and our route was mostly headed southeast to south.</p><p style="text-align: left;">We didn&#8217;t spot any gators at the Slough, <a title="Link to story about gator biting kid's arm off" href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/gator-rips-arm-off-18-year-old/" target="_blank">normally a hot spot</a>, but these birds were kind enough to pose for us.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Osa fitted with a bug screen</h3><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Osa-with-Bug-Screen-07-25-2010_7059.jpg" rel="lightbox[6839]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6840" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="Osa with Bug Screen 07-25-2010_7059" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Osa-with-Bug-Screen-07-25-2010_7059-300x290.jpg" alt="Osa with Bug Screen 07 25 2010 7059 300x290 Full Moon on Lake Okeechobee" width="240" height="232" /></a>I&#8217;m working on a review of the <a title="Link to Bug Screen website" href="http://gbnpro.com/" target="_blank">GBNpro Bug Screen</a>. Bob Prusinski was kind enough to send me three to try, so I fitted one to my helmet before I left home and gave Osa one to attach to her helmet on the way out. The contraption is held onto the helmet with a strip of Velcro tape.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;ll have a full review after I&#8217;ve had a chance to see if a couple problems we ran into were because we use helmet-mounted mirrors. After getting her picture taken, Osa took hers off. I, too, decided to hold off mounting mine until it got closer to Bug o&#8217;Clock.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Blue skies above us</h3><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lake-Okeechobee-Scenic-Trail-07-25-2010_7075.jpg" rel="lightbox[6839]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6841" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail 07-25-2010" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lake-Okeechobee-Scenic-Trail-07-25-2010_7075-500x332.jpg" alt="Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail 07 25 2010 7075 500x332 Full Moon on Lake Okeechobee" width="500" height="332" /></a>As you can see, we had blue skies above us when we started off on our ride. Osa has a thing about clouds, so she stopped frequently to take photos of the ever-changing skyscape above us.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">That is NOT a Clif Shot bloc</h3><p style="text-align: left;">During one of those stops, I took the opportunity to reach into my pocket for a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HGG2M2?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwpalmbeachb-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000HGG2M2">Clif Shot Bloks</a> (Strawberry, not that it makes any difference). I like them because I can tuck them in my cheek and suck on them as I&#8217;m riding along. It gives me a steady inflow of energy and encourages me to drink more frequently.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Anyway, I bit down into the first bloc. They&#8217;re about the consistency of soft <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009W7RT6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwpalmbeachb-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0009W7RT6">candy Gummy Worms</a>. On the second chomp, I bit down on something hard. Something that was definitely NOT soft Gummy Worm consistency. I had a sinking suspicion that I knew what it was. Yep, I had pulled a dental crown right out.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Fortunately, I hadn&#8217;t bitten down hard and I hadn&#8217;t swallowed it. I took a tentative sip of water to wash my mouth out. WHOAAAAA! We&#8217;re not gonna do THAT again. Even sucking in hot summer air let me know that something was exposed that didn&#8217;t want to be exposed.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Remember those rain clouds off in the distance?</h3><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LOST-07-25-2010_7072.jpg" rel="lightbox[6839]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6842" title="LOST 07-25-2010" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LOST-07-25-2010_7072-500x270.jpg" alt="LOST 07 25 2010 7072 500x270 Full Moon on Lake Okeechobee" width="500" height="270" /></a>It looked like we were going to go in the blank space between the two rain showers. It LOOKED like that right up until the point that the sky opened up. Osa pulled on a jacket and slipped her phone and some other stuff in a Ziploc bag.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I put my Droid Incredible, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H9O6QW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwpalmbeachb-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001H9O6QW">Sandisk Sansa Clip</a> MP3 player and <a title="Review of i-Ride Pro speakers" href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/bike-speakers-active-tunes-i-ride-pro-review/" target="_blank">i-Ride Pro speakers</a> into a Ziploc bag and put them in my jersey pocket (more about that later). I put the rain covers over my Arkel small handlebar bag and Tailrider Trunk bag and debated pulling on my Campmor Rain Cape, but decided it wasn&#8217;t going to rain that long. Plus, it was hot enough I wasn&#8217;t afraid of getting chilled.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Sure enough, we rode out of the rain in a couple of miles, just in time to get some photos of the moon rise. The frame at the top is a little unsharp because it&#8217;s a still shot taken out of a video. My <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012S98AM?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwpalmbeachb-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0012S98AM">Canon FS100 Camcorder</a> has a longer effective lens than my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KJQ1DG?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwpalmbeachb-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000KJQ1DG">Nikon D40</a>.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Dusk means bugs</h3><p style="text-align: left;">Shortly after we got moving again, I told Osa that I was going to put on my Bug Screen because it was getting to be &#8220;that time.&#8221; She elected to wait a bit longer. I thought that was a mistake, because I was already seeing small bugs bouncing off the screen and seeing them stuck in the sweat on my arms.</p><p style="text-align: left;">She started complaining that she could feel bugs crawling around inside her helmet, so I offered a bandanna to put over her hair. We stopped to find it, and immediately became a feast for mosquitoes that covered every part of us, clothed and unclothed. Osa went into a whirling dervish swatting frenzy, then hopped on her bike vowing to pedal until she dropped, hopefully dead, if she couldn&#8217;t outrun the bloodsuckers.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I photographed Mathilde doing the Frog Dance on one Full Moon Ride. Osa put her to shame.</p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PhgJIeRg2Ck&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PhgJIeRg2Ck&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p style="text-align: left;">When we got to our turnaround point, Osa didn&#8217;t even slow down; she just put it in whip-around and kept going. Fortunately, by the time we got back to the car to load up, the bugs were gone. Either the bug window had closed or we had satiated every mosquito around the northeast corner of the lake.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Health and welfare check</h3><p style="text-align: left;">When we got into the car, I took the Ziploc package of electronics out of my jersey pocket (more about that later) and called Wife Lila to let her know we were off the LOST and headed home, even if a couple of quarts low and uncrowned.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I commented to Osa that my gas tank was a little low, but I was &#8220;pretty sure&#8221; I had enough to get us to a station. She remembered the mosquitoes and didn&#8217;t like the sound of that. She became even more concerned when the Low Fuel light flashed on. (That means I can go about another hundred miles, and we only had about 50 to go, but I didn&#8217;t share that with her.)</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">There&#8217;s a gas station in Indiantown</h3><p style="text-align: left;">We pulled into the last gas station in Indiantown. The pumps say to pay inside, so I walked into what looked like a combination gas station, produce stand and night club and gave the clerk my credit card.</p><p style="text-align: left;">While I was pumping my gas, a guy came out of the shadows with a cell phone in his hand and asked if I had a buck. &#8220;I&#8217;m paying for the gas with a credit card as it is,&#8221; I told him, not literally being untruthful. He wandered back to stand in the shadows with another guy, waiting for someone who wanted good Karma (more about that later).</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Maybe I should have given the panhandler the buck</h3><p style="text-align: left;">We made it home uneventfully. Osa even said she had fun and was ready to go back again. With a stronger bug spray this time, though. When I carried everything in, I couldn&#8217;t find my MP3 player and speaker, even when I looked in the nooks and crannies of the car. My guess is that the slick Ziploc bag slipped out of my jersey pocket either at Nubbins slough or at the gas station.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Maybe I should have given the panhandler a buck to fill up my Karma bucket. If I lost it at the gas station, I hope he enjoys my taste in music.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/lake-okeechobee-full-moon-ride-sunday-march-8ish/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Lake Okeechobee Full Moon Ride Sunday, March 8ish'>Lake Okeechobee Full Moon Ride Sunday, March 8ish</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/lake-o-ride-a-lost-opportunity-to-do-a-buttectomy/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Lake O Full Moon Ride: a LOST opportunity to do a buttectomy'>Lake O Full Moon Ride: a LOST opportunity to do a buttectomy</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/lake-worth-full-moon-drum-circle/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Lake Worth Full Moon Drum Circle: on the Beach'>Lake Worth Full Moon Drum Circle: on the Beach</a></li></ol></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/full-moon-on-lake-okeechobee/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>South Florida Bike Expo</title><link>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/south-florida-bike-expo/</link> <comments>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/south-florida-bike-expo/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 18 Jul 2010 03:44:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ken Steinhoff</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/?p=6783</guid> <description><![CDATA[I was originally signed up to be an exhibitor at the South Florida Bike Expo, but when an email came from the promoter saying that they were juggling space to handle additional folks, I volunteered to give up my booth.

It&#8217;s the &#8220;<a title="On Your Mark Cycling Club facebook Fan Page" href="http://www.facebook.com/OYMbike?ref=ts" target="on-your-mark">On Your Mark</a>&#8221; jersey. The weather that I had been waiting for came this week and I pulled on the jersey and headed out for a ride.</p><p>That was Tuesday.</p><h3>My brother is crazy</h3><p>Tuesday was the day that we hit our high for the year, 98 degrees.  The heat index was 102.  I like to ride when it&#8217;s hot.  I also like to sit in the car with the windows up when it&#8217;s hot and let the heat warm up my bones.  Sorta like being a ham in an oven effect, nonetheless I like the heat to a no-pun-intended, &#8220;degree&#8221;.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6771" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/thrown3.jpg" alt="thrown3 Bro Mark Sees Three Men in Fiery Furnace" width="170" height="260" /></p><p>I went to Forest Park and did my loops of the park and immediately noticed that I must be the only one who likes that kind of weather because there were no other riders at 3pm in the afternoon.</p><p>In fact, the park was empty of people except for some of the city kids who were sitting in the areas of the park that have waterfalls in them, and they were sitting in the water in the shade.</p><p>I admit that it was hot.  With every 6 mile loop of my route I filled up a water bottle.</p><p>When traveling on a bike there is always some constant breeze (given you are going fast enough to generate one) and that became very evident each time when I stopped to fill up my water bottle.  As soon as I unclipped my feet the rush of stifling heat surrounded me and the sweat would pour off me much like the waterfalls the kids had taken refuge in.</p><h3>A &#8220;cool&#8221; hot T-shirt</h3><p><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/shadrach+meshach+and+abednego+gifts"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6775" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="shadrach_meshach_abednego_tshirt" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/shadrach_meshach_abednego_tshirt-p2357328694015260963o8j_210.jpg" alt="shadrach meshach abednego tshirt p2357328694015260963o8j 210 Bro Mark Sees Three Men in Fiery Furnace" width="210" height="210" /></a>But I like the heat.  Back on my bike I began to feel the heat get the best of me around mile 28.  I told myself that I would stop at mile 30 and call it a day OR when the bright sky started filling up with specks of darkness right before I blacked out.

June in Missouri ought to make for great riding, right?</p><p>As it turned out, I hauled the LHT about 2,200 miles to ride it a whopping 1.9 miles.</p><h3>Classmates got to reconnect</h3><p><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Central-High-School-Reunion-Lunch-06-26-2010_5858.jpg" rel="lightbox[6720]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6724" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Central High School Reunion Lunch 06-26-2010" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Central-High-School-Reunion-Lunch-06-26-2010_5858-500x371.jpg" alt="Central High School Reunion Lunch 06 26 2010 5858 500x371 My 1.9 Mile Ride in Cape Girardeau" width="500" height="371" /></a>The reunion was much better than I had anticipated. Folks have been following the blog I established about <a title="Link to Central High School blog" href="http://www.capecentralhigh.com/" target="_blank">growing up in the Midwest in the 60s</a>, so I felt like a blogger rock star for a weekend.</p><p>Unfortunately, reunion activities kept me busier than anticipated, plus the area was hit with record-breaking temperatures that sent the heat index into the 107-degree range. I subscribe to Son Matt&#8217;s rule: if it ain&#8217;t fun, don&#8217;t do it.</p><h3>Good thing I knew where he lives</h3><p>My mother&#8217;s neighbor, Bill, from across the street, came over on his refurbed Raleigh to check out my LHT. I told him to take it for spin. He was gone so long I was glad I knew where he lived, or I&#8217;d have figured I&#8217;d never see it again.</p><h3>I HAVE to ride at least once</h3><p><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Ken-Steinhoff-w-Surly-Long-Haul-Trucker-Cape-Girardeau-MO-06-30-2010_0933.jpg" rel="lightbox[6720]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6722" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Ken Steinhoff w Surly Long Haul Trucker Cape Girardeau MO 06-30-2010_0933" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Ken-Steinhoff-w-Surly-Long-Haul-Trucker-Cape-Girardeau-MO-06-30-2010_0933-453x500.jpg" alt="Ken Steinhoff w Surly Long Haul Trucker Cape Girardeau MO 06 30 2010 0933 453x500 My 1.9 Mile Ride in Cape Girardeau" width="453" height="500" /></a>On the morning when we had to leave town, the weather turned a bit cooler. Cool enough that I would have gone for a real ride if we hadn&#8217;t had a deadline to meet. The first thing that has to be packed in the van is my LHT, so I decided to take it for a short spin around the neighborhood, my old paper route, before loading it.</p><p>I pulled out of the driveway, went downhill, then rolled back past Mother&#8217;s house so Wife Lila could shoot my picture. From there, I made a left onto Kurre Lane, which is an uphill run. I was in a mid-range of gears, just &#8220;dancing on the pedals,&#8221; as Phil Liggett would say. I crested the hill feeling pretty good. For a heavy bike, it did quite well.</p><p>I was riding the my old paper route clockwise; when I was 12-years-old on my old single-speed Schwinn, I did it in the opposite direction.</p><h3>You can&#8217;t even see the STEEP part</h3><p><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Steep-Cape-Hill-06-30-2010_0945.jpg" rel="lightbox[6720]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6721" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Steep Cape Hill 06-30-2010_0945" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Steep-Cape-Hill-06-30-2010_0945-500x375.jpg" alt="Steep Cape Hill 06 30 2010 0945 500x375 My 1.9 Mile Ride in Cape Girardeau" width="500" height="375" /></a>That must be the reason why, at the bottom of the downhill, the right-hand turn I made took me onto a hill  I didn&#8217;t remember. It went straight up. Straight up enough that I didn&#8217;t have time to slide into a lower gear. To keep any forward motion at all, I had to stand up on the pedals. That was good for about one revolution.</p><p>I barely had time to unclip before the bike came to a complete, fall-over-on-its-side, cow-tipping dead stop. I had to lock both brakes to keep it from rolling downhill, taking me with it. To make it worse, there was a guy waiting to back out of his driveway who witnessed my struggles.</p><p>I decided the only way I was going to climb this sucker was to reverse course, get a run up the hill behind me, then turn around and go up the steep one. That worked pretty much as planned except that I had so much pressure on the pedals that I couldn&#8217;t downshift when I was about two-thirds to the top. My only choice was to stand up on the pedals for the last 75 or 100 feet. I made it, but it was a good thing it wasn&#8217;t 10 feet taller.</p><h3>NOW I remembered that I used to go DOWN this hill</h3><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Cape-Ride-06-30-2010.jpg" rel="lightbox[6720]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6723" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Cape Ride Profile 06-30-2010" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Cape-Ride-06-30-2010-500x140.jpg" alt="Cape Ride 06 30 2010 500x140 My 1.9 Mile Ride in Cape Girardeau" width="500" height="140" /></a>This profile won&#8217;t impress anybody who is used to hills, but it&#8217;s a far cry from flat Florida.</p><p style="text-align: left;">When I go back home in October, I&#8217;ll bring the bike again. Maybe it&#8217;ll be cool, but not too cool, by then.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/cape-girardeau-to-altenburg-my-favorite-ride/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Cape Girardeau to Altenburg: My Favorite Ride'>Cape Girardeau to Altenburg: My Favorite Ride</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/were-heading-back-to-cape-girardeau/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: We&#8217;re Heading Back to Cape Girardeau'>We&#8217;re Heading Back to Cape Girardeau</a></li><li><a href='http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/tour-of-missouri-comes-to-cape-girardeau/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Tour of Missouri Comes to Cape Girardeau'>Tour of Missouri Comes to Cape Girardeau</a></li></ol></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/my-1-9-mile-ride-in-cape-girardeau-2/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Tour de Bar Photos 2010</title><link>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/tour-de-bar-photos-2010/</link> <comments>http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/tour-de-bar-photos-2010/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:28:18 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>matt</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/?p=6592</guid> <description><![CDATA[Just to be clear, I&#8217;m not in charge of Tour de Bar.

At least three of the eight were on the Tour de Bar this weekend. <a title="Tour de Bar Pirate on a Pink Huffy" href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tour-de-bar-2010_049_DSC_8237.jpg" rel="lightbox[6592]"><img class="size-large wp-image-6606 alignright" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Tour de Bar Pirate on a Pink Huffy" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tour-de-bar-2010_049_DSC_8237-388x500.jpg" alt="Tour de Bar Pirate on a Pink Huffy" width="310" height="400" /></a>Some still live in the North Palm Beach area, others fly in from out of state. Interviewing the founders is a bit difficult since no one is willing to take the credit — or blame — for the Palm Beach Tour de Bar.</p><p>What started out as eight thirsty guys has turned into over 400 gleefully rowdy riders and a fundraiser for the local <a title="Give a Live Foundation ~ organ and tissue donation" href="http://www.givealife.org/" target="give-a-life">Give a Life Foundation</a> which promotes organ &amp; tissue donation. With a suggested donation of $5, over $2,000 was raised this weekend.</p><p>The first $450 raised went to pay for the Palm Beach Shores police department. While the ride has run bandit for many years, this year it grew too large to fly completely under the radar.</p><h3>Charity, Sure, But Also an Economic Impact</h3><p><a title="Bicycle with an Umbrella at the Tour de Bar" href="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tour-de-bar-2010_094_DSC_8364.jpg" rel="lightbox[6592]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6615" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Bicycle with an Umbrella at the Tour de Bar" src="http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tour-de-bar-2010_094_DSC_8364-216x300.jpg" alt="Bicycle with an Umbrella at the Tour de Bar" width="216" height="300" /></a>Based on how much beer left the Brass Ring Pub Saturday afternoon, I&#8217;ve got to believe this event has a strong positive effect on the ten or so bars that are featured along the route. I&#8217;d be surprised if some of the smaller bar stops saw 200 unique people in a week, let alone that many in a day.</p><p>The T-shirt vendor also failed to properly anticipate demand. I think 150 shirts were printed and they were gone in a flash. If you didn&#8217;t get your <a title="Tour de Bar t-shirt" href="http://www.tourdebartshirts.com/" target="tour-de-bar">Tour de Bar T-Shirt</a>, you can still grab one if you hurry. The material is a bit thin but, at just $10 a shirt, it is a heck of a deal. I saw a lot of shirts from previous years. I think 1998 was the oldest I saw.</p><h3>Tour de Bar Veterans</h3><p>It wasn&#8217;t uncommon to run across people who had participated in the event more than a dozen times. In fact, membership seemed to fit a reverse bell curve. There seemed to be just as many people who had attended 15 or more times as those who were coming out for the first time.</p><h3>Beater Bikes, Mostly, At Tour de Bar</h3><p>I&#8217;ve never seen so many beater bikes in one place at one time. It&#8217;s as though everyone curb-surfed in the weeks leading up to the Tour de Bar looking for wheels. Two-thirds of the bikes looked like $89 K-Mart specials that had set in the backyard for a few years. A couple of dozen were custom works of art that smelled a little like the Freak Bike Militia. No matter what the bike, everyone was welcome and everyone had a big smile.</p><p>Some joked that the reason there were so many beater bikes is that many people abandoned their ride and called a cab at the end of the evening. I&#8217;m not sure that is true — I didn&#8217;t make it to closing time — but I&#8217;d like to believe it is true.</p><p>Below are some pictures from the event.
