Who rides a bicycle? What type of bike do you ride and where do you cycle? To work, for pleasure, what's your favourite places?

I have a Giant XTC mountain bike which has been used for both work and pleasure. I rode to work when living in Berkshire which was virtually all along a canal. I used to get out every weekend morning too to a ride around town but not done much since moving to Kent.
- Kol Tregaskes
I ride a Charge Duster. I've been a bit busy this year, hardly been out at all this year. i think next week I'll risk life and limb on the roads and cycle to work.
- Ho
Kol, depending where in kent you are, there are nice rides around. even if you have to hop over to Surrey.
- Ho
I do. Trek Soho Urban 3. Love it, when it's not being stolen (or run over with me on it.) mostly around Venice / Santa Monica / Marina Del Rey area...

I have a red bike that's a hand me down from my mom. :) I'm not a bike fanatic, obviously, but I like to commute when it's not raining, run errands, and ride for fun.
- Elizabeth
I have a Rodriguez U2 (see http://www.rodcycle.com/) that I ride to work every day, all year round, and on errands, and for some recreational rides as well. With Schwalbe Marathon Supremes, I can handle the road, gravel trails, and even hard-packed dirt trails.
- Tommy Williams
Ho, more details please? :-) I'm on the Kent/Surrey border.
- Kol Tregaskes
I have a Giant Defy road bike. I use it for pleasure. I am actually doing a ride this Sunday, and then a century ride on June 14th. My favorite place is this trail around here that is called the WO&D trail. It use to be train tracks that they turned into a trail.
- Shevonne
I ride to school and back every day. It's about a four minute trek. The route is rather idyllic: nice houses, cool breeze, and plenty of shade from trees.

My wife and I have these (http://radio.weblogs.com/0127028...) -- so called "comfort bikes" - we regularly do 60km per week during the summer on urban (Toronto) bike trails and rail trails. Last year we also biked the Niagara Circle (~150km) and this year will do the "P'tit Train du Nord" trail in Quebec.
- Brian Sullivan
My wife and I have Specialized comfort bikes. Just take it around our neighborhood and park trails every now and again.
- ronin
Electra Townie 21. Perfect city cruiser.
- Christopher Harley
Trek Navigator 3.0 (http://www.trekbikes.com/women...). It's a grandma bike, and is as slow as molasses, but I like it. I've added a basket to the front, a rack to the rear, and front/rear fenders. I use it to run errands and to ride to work when the weather's good. Favourite places to ride are the dikes in Richmond and Maple Ridge, BC. The flatter the better.
- cecily
I just replaced my 20 yr old mongoose with a Trek 3900.... I love it. I live biking distance from Devil's Gulch and other sweet trails, even a nice paved 11 mile loop trail along the Columbia River. My town loves bikers.
- suzanne
I have a Fuji Nevada 3.5... which is really just the Fuji Police bike with the "POLICE" lettering covered up with a sticker. I bike to work and ride all over the silicon valley area for fun, starting to average over 100 miles per week.
- Wirehead
Marin Pioneer Trail (2007), used mainly for leisure and errands around the home town. At the time it was the only bike I could find in stock anywhere that had a large enough frame, and I seriously love it. *Might* be picking up the '09 version later this year and then I can have this current one locked up at the station in London and use it to do the final leg to work each day.

Dahon Speed D7 folding bike. I ride it to work. about 3 miles each way.

2 years ago, I did 50 mile Tour de Tendring, in preparation for a charity bike ride from Colchester to Aylesbury (100 miles). I would like to do a 12 or 24 hour endurance mtb ride one day, but getting a group together is a bit tough.

I'm like Jandy. I blog in spurts at the moment, simply due to being busy with other stuff. Which is why I love having Twitter and Tumblr because it allows me to make quick microblog entries when I feel like I need to say something. When my time frees up, I'll blog more regularly. To me, FF is like a conversation with friends while blogging is storytime at the public library.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
+1 Akiva. I wasn't a super prolific blogger to begin with, but my social networks offered a lot more interactivity than my blog did, so I don't post on my blog so much anymore. It'd be one thing if I got more comments on my blog, then I'd feel more motivated. As it is, it seems like I'm blogging to no one. :P

I never blogged very frequently; I like conversations more than blogging. So I've always been more active on Usenet, blog comments, forums, chat, what have you, than on my own blog.

I'm thinking I might start posting most everything to my blog, where my post notifications are forward to FF via Twitter. I can monitor any resulting conversations on FF via the real time FF widget.
- Christopher A Carr
To clarify, I'm thinking I'll post everything of any substance at all to my blog, while using FF only for "likes," and for pulling in "favorites" and "wish list" entries from Youtube and Amazon and the like, and for pulling in Tweets. This way, I'll feel less compelled to differentiate between blog entries and substantive FF posts by way of making the former much longer. This should fatten up the blog. With the real time FF widget in the blog, I'm thinking this will be a nice little arrangement.

The thing I like about Facebook has nothing to do with the technology: I like Facebook because many more of the people I know in real life are there. FriendFeed is nice technology but there's a distance to the information coming through there because very few of the the people I am subscribed to are actually "friends"--they're just people I "know" through the Web.
- Tommy Williams
I like that I can restrict certain content (i.e. photos) to certain circles of friends.
- Jeanine W.
Jeanine, yeah that could be incorporated in FF, perhaps selectively restricting what non-subscribers can see or by having 2 or more levels of friends but fear this would complicated things.

I'm with Tommy, the main reason I use FB is because of all the RL friends that are also on it. Though the reason I like FF is for the same reason--not so many RL friends- :)

That is a really interesting ? My personal use of FB is fairly static. However my business use is becoming much more dynamic. Facebook business pages are growing rapidly and organically.

Of the coders out there, how many of you have successfully jumped from one language/platform to another in your professional career (and I mean something more drastic than C to C++)? How did you do it and how long did it take you to re-establish yourself in the new language?
Jemm, Kevin Johnson and Alex Scoble liked this
It's not unheard of. I've seen people make the jump in as little as a year if they have enough general coding experience to not just understand OOD, but be an expert in it.
- Sparky
Ben has a few times (though I'm not sure what counts as drastic) and I'm sure he would be willing to share. From my observation, he reads and studies, works on projects at home, and I think the most interesting thing is that he incorporates the new language into projects at work whenever he is able to, so he builds professional experience in the new language while on the job.
- joey
Hmm.. I guess biggest jump was from VB/VBScript/Delphi to C# and .NET. Learning C# took some time, but hard to say what was really the hardest part: the framework/BCL, object-oriented thinking, asp.net etc or the syntax itself. I'd say that the change of the platform is much bigger leap than the change of the syntax.
- Jemm
I have made several jumps: from HyperTalk to Perl (and, yes, these were paying jobs back in the early 90s). From there I went to PHP. Then back to Perl. Then on to C#. I don't remember how long it took nor did I even think of these as distinct breaks in time until you posed this question. I did it just by reading books and doing side projects at night and on weekends until I was comfortable.
- Tommy Williams
I agree, Jemm. Jumping from procedural- to object-oriented programming definitely counts as drastic. However, I'm more interested in how people have made career shifts around new languages rather than the learning of the languages themselves.

- Todd Hoff
I started out as a Fortran programmer, switched to PDP 10 assembler, Pascal, PL/M and later a variety of interpreted specialist languages and now Python. As time went on I became more of a dilettante and cruise by programmer.

All functional languages are the same; you will pick up the nuances, and learn how to exploit its features with time, but in the interim, the practice that make you a good developer will carry you.
- RAPatton
Akiva, I've been coding for quite a while so I've had to change - Fortran, C, C++, Java with a lot of other minor stops along the way. For the Fortran to C change, the company had a large 2D graphics subroutine library that we rewrote from scratch (maybe six months). From C to C++ was to port Apple's OpenDoc to AIX. At the same time, I was working on the HP, Sun, IBM Common Desktop which was C and C++.

Definitely YES. Unified when you want it is good. When you don't want it, it sucks. Either bring back the icons so you can scan for posts from a certain service or bring back the service filter buttons to eliminate all that you don't want or bring back BOTH so the user has control over their own environment in which to work. Having the small service icons go only TO the service source is a waste and takes you out of the FF environment.

Dear Makers of Skinny Jeans: Your product is not flattering or comfortable on a woman with overly muscular legs. They're also not the best choice for someone with hips. Please offer me an alternative if you would like my business. That is all.

Dave has this issue with 'traditional' fit mens jeans but has the option to buy relaxed fit or carpenters.

Have a look at something like the Carhartt relaxed fit women's jeans, or possibly other things at Duluth Trading. They specialize in clothing for people who work in construction, logging, etc. http://www.duluthtrading.com/store...

I want to buy mine by measurements like guys do. I shouldn't have to have the length of my jeans tailored to get some that don't look like long capris or that aren't so long that I trip over them. .
- Katy S
@Tina: I have a strange build... that doesn't fit any model of jean cut. I did find a brand that fit perfectly... a year later, I bought more without trying them on... and they don't fit well. They modified them to "stretch", which I think means, "we'll make them a size too small, but they STRETCH, so they should fit". Argh! So frustrating...
- Amy H.
Yet another frustration, Katy: sizing differences. Grrr upon grrr... Tommy, I'll take a look at the resource; thx! And Amy, my biggest frustration with 'stretch' jeans? Too tight when I put them on in the morning, but by lunch time they're baggy in all the wrong places from me sitting all morning.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Boot cut jeans are still available. Just because they're not at the top of fashionistas' lists anymore, doesn't mean you can't find them. EDIT: I mean true boot cuts, not flares, which aren't flattering to anyone over the age of 18.

men's jeans stink too - after having worn nothing but Lee for the past 10 years or so... I was stuck looking for alternatives back in the fall - finding Levi's to fit was a problem - let alone figuring out all the different style names and how they would fit - no uniformity in sizing at all
- Jeff Quinton
@Jeff: Welcome to the crappy world of shopping for jeans. At least you have measurements to guide you in the selection of jeans. Women have sizes like "10". What does "10" mean, anyhow? I'm an "18" but I can actually wear anything from a 14 to a 20, depending on how the things really fit. @Tina: I wear my jeans for two days... by the second day, they're perfect to wear... especially those stupid stretch ones I'm stuck with.
- Amy H.
Yeah, I never understood why women's clothing is sold using an arbitrary sizing scale, whereas most men's clothing (pants and suits anyhow) are sold based on specific measurements. There ought to be a law.
- Alex Scoble
as a man, I can't wear Levi's 501 jeans, and even the 505 "relaxed fit" are tight on my legs and bum - so men have the same issue, as you pointed out in respect to Dave - there are companies that make jeans for the muscular types, but they look hideous

lol, kevin - both comments. (i didn't know they still sold those pants...)

When I wore jeans, I could only do flares. Only thing that could balance my hips+shortness.

Damn the skinny Jean tyranny !

At the pool where there's a little shelter from the wind
Isn't it abnormally cold in Georgia today? In the 40s or something? Why are you at the pool?
- Tommy Williams
it is, we're hearing reports of snow flurries in the Atlanta suburbs. We're actually in Florida, on the gulf coast, for spring break. I've never had to turn the heat on at a beach house before, though!

Just realized Friendfeed allows me to share to specific people. Killer feature.

I think these guys hit a home run with the UX around sharing to friends and not broadcasting to all, and making that clear in the feed.

They nailed it. now allI I need are real friends on here :)

Agreed: the messaging/DMing/private or group sharing is really well done.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
FriendFeed beta works great on the browser...but is/will there be a mobile client? I use PockeTwit like crazy more than the web....
- Jef
@Jamie: you're right about that. I much prefer posting and interacting with posts in FriendFeed but all the people I know in real life are on Facebook and almost none of them are on FriendFeed. So I have been spending a lot more time on Facebook lately.

I grew up in Tennessee. I'm surprised that TN has a 3' law and WA, where I live now, doesn't.

Best memory about my first trip from L.A. to Vegas? Getting the mustang convertible I was driving past 100 mph on several occasions without once getting pulled over. And that sentence, my friends, tells you PLENTY about me. :D

Oh, Mark. You amuse me to no end. Enjoy! The champagne, I mean.

Gas must be a lot cheaper where you are. I can't burn it like that in San Jose. I still have to pay the rent and cross my fingers that the check doesn't bounce.

Officer: Do you know how fast you were going? Motorist: I have no idea. The little needle stops moving at 110 mph.
- DGentry
Not fast enough!
- Mo Kargas
@Denton: many years ago, my parents came to visit me in college. They got there awfully quickly but when I asked about it, Mom said she didn't go over 88 MPH. They had a new Lincoln with a digital speedometer and, for whatever reason, it didn't register anything above 88 (I guess because all the segments of the LCD were lit?). There's no telling how fast she was actually going. Not that 88 wasn't already pretty fast....

My son was born unexpectedly 6 weeks early; wife had congestive heart failure and was in ICU. My brother made it from the west side of San Antonio to Austin (probably ~95 miles) in under 45 minutes without getting stopped.
