Is it my imagination or are members being inundated with donation requests? I don't remember receiving so many emails from ACA past years asking for money!

General Discussion / bike racks for car (trunk style)

« on: August 23, 2016, 12:45:00 pm »

I have a Thule bike rack that is about 4 years old which works fine for my road bike. But the cradle won't accomodate the larger top tube of my Trek 920. Do you have suggestions for car bike racks that will accept the larger top tubes that I'm seeing in newer bikes (adventure, mountain, etc)?

Thank you!

General Discussion / Colorado: bike maps?

« on: July 08, 2016, 09:07:18 am »

I'm thinking of bringing my "gravel" bike on my trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park area (Estes). Are there maps or other resources that show good roads for biking? I'm not touring from A to B, just riding around to see good scenery, etc? I don't ride "single-track" so have been skipping web-sites that advertise mountain biking routes.

Thanks..

Gear Talk / "Adventure" bike for short rider?

« on: March 12, 2016, 07:15:26 am »

I'm looking at "adventure" bicycles. I'm currently waiting for the bike shop to get the Trek 920 small frame (on backorder) to test. Trek advertises that small frame has a stand-over height of 72.2cm while my inseam measurement is 71.1 (28"), without shoes. I realize that until I test ride the bike, I won't know exactly how that will play out. In the meantime, do you have recommendations for other similar type bikes that I could consider that have frames for short riders (I am 5' 2")?

Thank you.
