RePete went surf’n the web and found three sites that are especially interesting.

Cyber Cyclery is full of useful features including an email list, web sites and directories. There are two very interesting areas for us cyclist...a job board and a classified. You can even post tours to their calendar.

Bike 411 also feature a classified area. Other sections include news, upcoming races and coaching. You can also check out area tours in Places to Ride. Apparently you can post tours...if you visit this site and discover how...let me know!

Bicycling in New Jersey and Vicinity has links to several local clubs and to a couple of weather sites. Cue sheets are available for those interested in touring this state.

I need to mention that there is yet another new feature added for this release...
Q - Ads. This will list any items you wish to sell. This month we feature a Raleigh C - 40...check it out!!

Now for some disturbing news that was announced in an earlier update, a close friend has been told that his firm will merge. Most functions are expected to be moved or absorbed. Currently employed with General Accident Insurance that is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As Assistant Superintendent, he is responsible for a staff that does the regulatory reporting to various agencies including the Insurance Services Office. Here is a short list of his major qualifications:

Administrative:

* Over 25 years with the Property & Casualty Insurance:

* Business analysis experience with Year 2,000 applications:

Yes, we know most of us do not like insurance companies. But remember, he is one of us...a cyclist that helped and supported groups such as the Rail to Trails, active member of two cycling clubs and leader of many cycling tours.

Can you now help? Do you know of anyone that can provide further advice? Email me with any information that may help.

Interested in having your cycling performance maintained? RePete will provide a series of reports that include both charts and graphs on various information such criteria as distance, time, speed, weight and more. You will receive reports showing these criteria and displayed by individual ride as well as summarized into weekly and monthly totals that are also graphically represented! Your year to date criteria are also provided and summarized by average ride, longest ride, shortest ride, fastest ride, slowest ride and totaled. Email me at RePete@Snip.net for more information on this great feature.

Autumn is now ahead of us...and the rides will end. You can visit Freewheel’n that currently explains how RePete came upon that name. Then there are the Quale sites where topics are varied. You may like the highly imaginative Tales of Pauline or be interested in suggesting employment help for a close friend. Then there are the Quote sites that contain your comments. Here you will find submissions on Bicyclist Against Helmets. Additionally, don’t forget to visit the links.

The next update of Quibbles is scheduled for early November and for now...

Happy Halloween!



Safe Cycling,
RePete
