Someone hands you a $150 gift certificate to Amazon.com and you think,
"What to buy, what to buy?" So, what do you buy (related to cycling
only)?

Not much, Amazon itself doesn't carry anything that resembles hardware
for cycling (or not much anyway). Almost everything is carried through
their partners, which usually means very high shipping charges.

That said, I recently bought 'Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike
Maintenance' through them. So basically, cycling books.

Osama just called to say he's hung up his terrorism hat.
We no longer have enough freedom to be worth hating.

I see they have Lonely Planet Cycling Guides to Australia, France, and
US-West Coast. Anyone know if these guides are any good?
