Putting slicks on made a <em>huge</em> difference riding around town - the reduced drag was so, so noticeable. Do it! um, you just said ’sweet rack’ . . . I put these on my bike a couple years ago.

Let me know when you two are biking to Chicago, we'll raise the priority on the guest room! I say draw the line after you get the sweet side mount cannon to balance the bag!

Sounds like it was well worth it, and you got a pretty spiffy-looking rack and pannier. And, I will admit, I had to read up a bit to see what you were talking about with the mtn bike tires vs road tires. Given how long your ride is, it does seem like you would want to check into road tires, and throw in the handlebar streamers while you're at it. Red ones, maybe?! Congrats on the garage sale!

Just be careful though that it doesn't make it harder for you to balance---I would think just having it on one side like that would tend to make things unbalanced, especially if you have your lap top in it too. Too bad you couldn't get a set of them like saddlebags to help with the balance. As for those bike tires--do you remember the ride Steve did from Minneapolis to Chicago with those kinds of tires? Neither one of you ever did things the easy way. Way to go Karen–this looks like a really neat set up and much easier than having to try to keep a pack on you.
