Delta Cycles Waterproof Pannier Review

By
During our ride on the Allegheny Passage from West Newton to Frostburg I used the Delta Cycles Waterproof Pannier. I think that it could handle a 2-3 day trip with careful packing. I packed all of my stuff in ziplock bags to better organize. On the trip home it poured rain for 15 minutes and the panniers lived up to their hype. No water or mud made its way into panniers.

When closing the bags it has a roll top with a snap clasp and a velcro strap. Then the upper cover fold over to completely cover the roll and straps. It has several small pockets on the rear inside panel. But other than that it is one open bag.

The Bipolar Trail - North Bend Rail Trail

North Bend Rail Trail We drove from Wheeling, WV to the trail head outside of Clarksburg, WV, a two hour drive. The plan was to ride from Clarksburg to Parkersburg, stay overnight, and return the next day. The first few miles of the North Bend Rail Trail started out promisingly. From the Wolf Summit eastern terminus the double track trail is comprised of gravel. The trail soon turned into a challenging combination of flooded sections, flooded tunnels, single track, and finally the joy of riding on trail sections completely overgrown by grass (with ruts thrown in to make it interesting).

Several flats and the loosening of the rack attachment points on my Lemond resulted in the rack clanking for 3/4 of the ride were annoyances that we could have done without. After 29 miles we reached the town of G...

The Flying Scotsman Review

By
I watched "The Flying Scotsman" on Saturday night. This autobiography covers the life of Graeme Obree who challenged the status quo by fabricating a bicycle with washing machine bearings and custom tubing and ultimately beat the hour record. His design was so revolutionary that the WCF outlawed two of his designs/positions, the Flying Scotsman and Superman. Graeme battled despression throughout his life but the movie insinuated that he overcame it later in his life. It is a very inspirational movie and I recommend even the non-cyclist to watch it.
