Sorry for the super late post. I'm late sending a review of the Schwinn Tailwind ebike to Momentum Magazine and I'm running late. Watch for the review there in the March / April issue (assuming I get it to them in time!)

I'm taking this Thursday, February 5 off to attend the Caltrain Joint Powers Board meeting. Bike capacity on the trains is on the agenda. The meeting starts at 10 AM. I haven't decided yet if I'll bike all the way from San Jose (or even from Santa Cruz) Thursday morning, or if I'll take the train and look a little more professional and presentable. Forecast is rain for Thursday, so it'll be a fendered bike either way. Which way should I go, bike friends? Sweaty like a cyclist? Dressed in slacks and button shirt like a professional office dweeb? Or even a tie and sport jacket?

Hah - TWEED was exactly what I was thinking before I came to the comments page. Fritz, I have a 38 tweed look-alike if you want to borrow.
Heh, Tweed sounds like a great idea.
THanks for the offer, Jerry, but it's supposed to rain Thursday so I think I'll avoid borrowed threads for that day. I was near your neighborhood this morning, BTW -- took #23 bus to the church, picked up a bike I left there Sunday night, biked on Williams/Bollinger to De Anza, past Apple, to Homestead and onto Foothill.

Looking forward to the ebike review. Just one of the things that will help get more people on bikes.
