I finally got my replacement frame from Cannondale. It's the 2008 Cannondale Capo frame which is better than the 2009 abomination. I covered up the Capo logo with some electrical tape because as I previously mentioned, I don't find the name "Capo" terribly tasteful.
I'm trying to fix the maps section; ...

First the good news. Bike Tel Aviv should be displayed properly in all modern browsers. I cleaned up the code and it's been validated by the W3; hence the two certification icons on the sidebar. So all browser issues should be taken care of unless you're using Lynx; in that ...

This is old but funny.
First, some background: For those who don't know, tall bikes are part of the nebulous bike culture and residing somewhere in the subculture scene bordering the hipster and fixie lifestyles.

I updated the design of the site a bit. It looks a bit crisper to me and is easier to view. Most everything, with the exception of the blog, is viewable on one screen so there's need to scroll or search for information. It's all there or it's not there ...

My bike frame cracked a few months ago and I've been unable to ride because of it. Cannondale has - as they are required to do - agreed to replace my bike frame since it is under a lifetime warranty. Considering I live in Israel, it's quite nice of them ...

As I wait with anticipation to see if my new Cannondale Track frame is the same model that I've been riding for years, I'm left wondering which bike frame it will be. Cannondale hasn't made many track bikes over the years. In fact, they've only made essentially the same frame ...

I really enjoy riding in Israel. The center of the country is mostly flat and aside from the aggressive drivers and sometimes shoddy roads, it's a generally peaceful ride.
So, I'm riding to work this morning and passing through Yafo down the main street that that leads to Tel Aviv. I'm ...
