Politics (sort of). Bicycling is listed as one of Governor Sarah Palin's hobbies; I've hunted around the web for a photo of her on a bike but came up empty. Perhaps Jill up in Alaska can help us out in the department.

What happened to the seat tube on that bike? Looks like something heavy bent it over? :) Or is the purpose of this so that you can reach the ground yet still have the proper length to the pedals?
ReplyDeleteAnon: That's the Rans Street bicycle. It's like a cross between a recumbent and a traditional diamond frame bike. I've tried them out and they're actually quite nice to ride.
