Curious, George: Bicyclettes For Christmas last year, the Lady Squid bought the Man Squid an inexpensive mountain bike from a sporting goods chain store. Although the bike has gotten me from point A to point B plenty of times, it's now falling apart - with it in the shop just about every other week - something new (tires, tubes, rims, spokes, deraileurs, cables) seems to be breaking on it with every passing month. more inside
