Sunscreen: Spray or lotion? What you like?
I had a bottle of gel-based sunscreen years ago and liked it, but have
been unable to find it since or even a similar product. Thanks for
mentioning this one.
Bullfrog makes a gel sunblock.

What are the reasons you have fallen down?
What are the reasons you have fallen down? Was it b/c of klutziness in
general, tire failing to grip due to lost traction on water or sand,

27 inch tires make a comeback
The "story" isn't about 27" tires making some sort of a comeback. Rather,
it's about people taking old bikes out of the garage and wanting to ride

I asked a middle-aged woman yesterday and her reply was "I'm too old to
