Got out again today with him.

It all depends on what kind of trailer you buy. The better ones, like Burley and Chariots have whats called an infant sling. It looks like a hammock crossed with a sport seat and it supports and cradles the little ones that are really young. The Burleys and Chariots are also a better design as the trailer itself is more supportive for when they get older, they look like an actual seat inside. Mine is a shit bag one that basically just has canvas as the back and bottom for the rider with seat belts to hold them in place. I bought this to test out if he would like it before spending up for a better one. ---

Can’t wait to try out my new road bike now that the weather’s finally turning around. I’m thinking of using it to commute to work a few times a week as well (all downtown). ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D-mhPCZbrFo/UU_-rCF__SI/AAAAAAAAAnM/fs2FXjPYQ8U/s1301/IMG_20130324_164035_413.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D-mhPCZbrFo/UU_-rCF__SI/AAAAAAAAAnM/fs2FXjPYQ8U/s1301/IMG_20130324_164035_413.jpg) ---

Any Strava users on here? Might be fun to compare strava rides also, I am in the market for a new wheelset OR maybe just a cheap front wheel (9mm QR disc hub). If anyone has anything, let me know. ---

The reason why I like Strava is because I can explore new trails and keep track of my progress really easily. ---

I use strave. I think i’m in 95/117 on the delaware park hill climb… lol Just as bad on the GI bridges ☹ Does anyone know where to buy this stupid part? I lost it last year and am tired of the brake tube hitting the tire. will a generic wire clip fit? The forks are Suntour XCR’s. ---

I use zip ties to hold my brake cables. Many forks don’t even come with a clip to hold it. ---

So I’m looking into grabbing something off of [Bikesdirect.com](http://Bikesdirect.com) and these came up recently: [Motobecane Mirage Pro - $500](http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/mirage_pro_xii.htm) [Motobecane Mirage S - $400](http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/road_bikes/mirage_s.htm) My question to the gurus is whether or not there is a substantial difference between the two. The mirage S is only a 14 speed versus the 24 sp on the pro, but most of my riding would be around the city. Is there that much of a difference? Looking at the other components, is the extra $100 worth it? I’m leaning towards the pro, but wanted to get some other opinions. And if anyone knows of other deals in this price range, I’m definitely open to suggestions. ---

[quote=“drvnkd,post:419,topic:159415"”] It is currently zip tied, but I dont want premature wear to break the line. [/quote] Keep an eye on it but if your REALLY that worried just get a rubber p-clamp or take a piece of rubber fuel line and wrap it around the brake line before zip tying it.
