Dear Webmaster,

I recently discovered your page here:

http://bicycle-diaries.blogspot.com/

I wanted to let you know that the “spinopsys” link on your site points to a website (http://www.spinopsys.com/) that is no longer working.

Would you please consider replacing it with a link to my website called Biking.com? It is a resource for anything and everything bicycling, cycling and trail riding.

If you think it would be of use to your visitors, would you please consider adding a link to my website on your page.

Here is the HTML link you could add: Biking.com - the web’s leading biking resource.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

I have a red Raleigh 3 speed sprite, found on the sidewalk barely used, save for a pushed-back fork (hubby rpaird)...it's my Sheldon-Brown-ConRED cycle (we had a sheldonian here on the west coast)...Love your blog--jacquie Phelan

Wow! That is amazing that he still uses the bike this many years later. It looks to be in great shape, too.
