    Shooters in our national parks.

    Managing takes is pretty simple, particularly on a pay-for-tag system, the exact system which generates a LOT of money for the American conservationists... In Iowa, if you're not local, you're paying $540US for a whitetail deer tag. Locals are like $400 or summat. When you harvest your...

    things can only be on one forum at a time. If you make copies of it, its piracy, and some dutch man will swipe your computer, apparently.

    Who Causes Cyclists' Deaths?

    The only reason you have the spare time to complain about cars is because cars and other combustion engines are doing all the work for you. Otherwise you'd still be out in the fields, plowing with your horse.

    Who Causes Cyclists' Deaths?

    Did she recognise her fault and pay for your replacement bike? or was she one of those "no, I'm not paying for that, thats a ridiculously expensive luxury, for just a bike, bikes are $200 new" people? You'd be suprised how often that actually comes up, people in $60,000 cars, deciding they...

    Who Causes Cyclists' Deaths?

    The Fixie Thread

    Anyone got any good ideas on how to up the gear inches on my SE Lager? Interweb research suggests the rear cog might be hard to replace... What about the front one? I've done about 400k's on this bike, would I need to replace the chain at the same time, or should it be ok?
