Bicycling

I'm running hydraulic discs on three of my bikes, and mechanical discs on my plus-size bike. Not only is the braking power significantly better in wet conditions, but they're so much easier to modulate on the descents. I recently found a 1984 Schwinn High Sierra on craigslist, and snatched it up as my bar cruiser. The thing is a total barn find, and with the exception of the tires, is completely OEM. I've rediscovered that stopping with those canti brakes requires a lot more room! I'm seeing a lot more roadies and commuters that are using discs now.
