Bicycle Vocabulary

As with any new hobby, one of the first hurdles to get over is the jargon that surrounds it.  It can be quite intimidating for the new cyclist to hear the many complicated questions asked at a bike shop using unfamiliar words like "crank set", "derailleur", and "drop tube".  This little video can be a lifesaver, as it walks you thru the basic anatomy of your bicycle and gives all the basic terms you'll need to talk about it intelligently.

Useful Tool: MemoToMe.Com

Here is another useful online tool. You can set it up to send you scheduled e-mail reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, monthly commitments, or one-time events. I am using it to remind me to bring my camera to work on Monday. And it is free (the service, not the camera).
