Greetings from Santa Cruz!Thanks for visiting the "dot com" (I also have a "dot net" and blog) of cycling writer, rider, mechanic, collector and SmartEtailing content director, Jim Langley.

My sites are for sharing my enthusiasm for cycling and the knowledge I've gained from 35 years working in the bike biz and from a lifetime of cycling.

This site was built and is managed with the great tools created by SmartEtailing for use by America's leading bicycle retailers.

You'll also enjoy my other website and my blog.

One of the things I like most about having this website is receiving email from around the world. I enjoy answering bicycle questions and I’ve replied to thousands while I’ve been online and during the years I’ve written for cycling magazines. If you have a question, e-mail me and I’ll reply as soon as possible.

Or, if you prefer, visit my blog or browse my bicycle FAQ, where there’s a good chance you’ll find an answer to your question.
