Josh Putnam's Cycling Pages Josh Putnam's Cycling PagesI have enjoyed cycling and working on bikes since I wasin grade school. I hope you find this information as interesting anduseful as Ihave.My CyclingGalleryA collection of my cycling pictures, in no particularorder.Photography is one of my other passionate interests, and it's hardto beat a bicycle for touring a landscape at a pace that lets youreally see it. Updated sporadically.

Bicycles are very simple machines, don't be intimidated by them.Building Bicycle FramesAnintroduction to brazingyour own bicycle frames.For many years I wanted a custom touring framewith a combination of geometry and features that I had never seenoffered by anyone. Finally I did something about it: I made it myself.If you are mechanically inclined, patient, and have bicycle dreams ofyour own, here's a quick introduction to designing and buildinga lugged, brazed, steel bicycle frame. Includes links to suppliers,a bibliography of framebuilding references, and links to moreframebuildingsites.Click hereto see my current bike. It'sjust an example of what you can do on your own if you want to.Aphoto tour of the lateMatch Bicycle Company frame factory in Woodinville,Washington. This was a public tour arranged by Rivendell BicycleWorks. Match is gone, but the tour shows most of the steps inbrazing a steel framein a modern shop.Miscellaneous frame buidling images, from cheap plywood jigs toprofessionalequipment.TheBicycle Framebuilding Mailing List, the leading internetforum for amateurand professional bicycle frame builders, with over 1000 membersworld-wide. You don't have to be a builder to join, if you've everthought of building yourown frame, or just want to know what goes into the design andconstruction ofthat custom frame you want to buy, check it out. Hosted by bikelist.org, hometo many finecycling email lists and their archives. What is trail,and what does it have to dowith bike handling? How do fork rake, head tube angle, and wheel sizematter?You can calculate the trail of an existing bike, or determine the specstogive the desired trail on a new frame.Do-it-yourselfbicycle projects.Sew your own jerseys, make improved tail lights, adjustable lengthstems, dashboards, camera mounts, etc.My favoritebicycle tools.The best tools I have found for a variety of bicycle repairs andmaintenance, in no particular order.Good booksfor bicycle tinkerers andarmchair mechanics.Some of my favorite practical and technicalbooks related to cycling.A few bicyclemechanic's tips.Some ideas to make working on your bikes easier. Cycling Safety & AdvocacyDetectionof Bicycles at Traffic Signals. Many cyclists ride throughintersections whose signals do not detect bicycles. It's notsafe, it's not fair, and it's not necessary. Traffic signal sensors canbe made bicycle friendly.Dark Bollards,Dangerous Bollards A common designelement of bicycle trails can pose a serious risk to cyclists ifimplemented poorly. Keepingmotorists off the trail shouldn't put cyclists at risk.Bicyclingand the Law from VeloPress, a book everyone who rides onpublic roadsshould read.Bicycle CommutingI've been bicycle commuting off and on for more thantwenty years. Here are a few equipmentsuggestions to help you commute safely, efficiently, and comfortably,even in wet Seattle winters.Fenders: it's hard to overstate the value of fendersfor wet weather bicycle commuting.Not only do your tires throw up a huge volume of water on wet roads,that water is filthywith car drippings, tire and brake dust, dirt, and who knows what else.Rain may be coldwater, but it's clean cold water.Mud Flaps: the bottom end of your fenders can't reachtoo far down or you'll hit them on things.Flexible mud flaps extend your fender protection and widen the basewhere the spray drips off. You can buy them in rubber or leather, ormake your own from plastic milk jugs, cut up conveyor belts, oldwetsuits, or anything else that's reasonably flexible and waterresistant. Personally, I likeHunt Wilde's old-fashioned rubber mud flaps.A do-it-yourself WaterproofHard-Sided Pannier for securely carrying your laptop andother commuting supplies.SPD Sandals, made by Lake, Shimano, Keene, andothers, may seem like summer footwear only, but they'reactually very useful in wet winter weather. The sandals absorb littlewater and dry much faster thanmost shoes, so they avoid the clammy sensation of slipping on wet shoeswhen it's time to go home. I wear sandals down into the low 40s orupper 30s and find them warmer in the rain than most shoes.Aids to Conspicuity: simple additions to your bikethat make it easier for motorists to see you, even if they aren'tlooking for you.Bluetooth Headset: if you cycle with a cell phone, aninexpensive wireless headset will let you keep your phone securelystowed inside your commuting bag, safe and dry. Why carry aphone while cycling? I mostly use mine to coordinatecommuting details with family, but it's also handy for calling inhazards to the road department or accidents to the police.Touring InformationSome of My Favorite RidesIreland Tour, 1994I spent about a month therebut haven't written it all up. This covers the best parts, with linkstopictures, too.The NorthCascades Highway: From the shoresof Puget Sound through five passes and rolling plains to the Idahoborder,one of the most scenic roads in Washington State.Useful things to add to your bikeAids toconspicutiy for night riding, beyonda minimal headlight and rear reflector can make you more visible andearnbetter treatment from competent motorists.Touringaccessories aren't as importantas a good bike, but good equipment can help make your tour a pleasantonedespite bad weather, poor roads, or other problems.Other Touring InformationGood camerasfor bicycle touring,a brief discussion of cameras suitable for long bicycle trips.My favoritetouring tales, alist of bicycle touring books that have inspired, amused, andinformed me about bicycle touring.TheBicycle Touring List, formerly Touring@cycling.org beforethat service sold out to topica.TheTrento BikePages archive personal touring reports for Europe and beyond.TheVancouver Cyclistanswers almost all the questions I get from riders in the rest ofthe U.S. about riding north of the border.Bicycling in Washington StateWashington State Dept of Transportationbicycling programs, including bicycle maps for various Washingtonlocations, lists of freewaysclosed to bicycles, Washington traffic laws, etc.CascadeBicycle Club, headquartered in Seattle, isthe state's largest cycling club, with significant public outreachprograms, lobbying, etc., andhome of the famous Seattle-to-Portland ride.The BackcountryBicycle Trails Club represents mountain bikers throughoutWestern Washington -- building trails, teaching skills, fighting topreserve trail access, and hosting rides all overthe region.

Not just bike parts catalogs, but also somegood catalogs for other cycling-related stuff.This is not a comprehensive list of everyone whosells stuff, only places I've actually ordered from withgood results.BicycleInsurance FAQ, commonquestions and answers about insurance coverage for bicycles andbicyclists in the U.S.If you're worried about theft, you can register yourbikewith the National Bike Registry, in hopes that police will recover your bike and try locating itsrightful owner.1963(?) 57cmPeugeot PX-10, unrestored. Detailed photos of a classic I never found time to fix up. It was inrideable condition as-is, though it could have used new tubes and athoroughoverhaul -- for all I can tell, it still had the factory grease in theheadset and bottom bracket. After years of owning it without restoringit, I finally sold it to someone who thought he'd be able to find thetime.Other CyclingPagesThese are all pages I have personally found interesting.It'sby no means a comprehensive list of bike resources on the net, just alist of pages I like and use. And it's probably loaded withoutdated links.This page written by JoshPutnam.Please feel free to email questions, comments, corrections,suggestions,etc. JoshPutnam's Home Page | Bike Page| FramebuildingPage | PhotoPage   |
