It has been over a year since I began using the KUAT Sherpa 2.0 2". I consider it one of the best purchases I have made re: cycling. I can put it on and take it off easily by myself, we put over...
we purchased land in JL to build. VA Creeper and Todd River ride are probably be the two places we will ride off JL property. I'm not certain the recumbent would do well for VA creeper trail, so...
Hi ladies,
I am in the process of "coaching" my husband into purchasing a new bike he can ride comfortably to improve his cardio. I have a 2015 Specialized Vita Elite and I love it for current use...
I decided to purchase the KUAT Sherpa 2.0 2" as I prioritized weight as #1critera after sturdy/quality for easy on/off as I will be the one lifting. I looked at Thule, Yakima, & Swagman. Thule and...
I am moving for the summer to the mtns of western NC, and hope to cycle some. I currently live in W TN where everyting is pretty much flat. I was looking for this article you sent sometime back on...
Emily,
Do you know anything about the VA Creeper trail? I was hoping a section was paved for my road bike, but I haven't found much information on it yet that depicts the surface condition - most...
Thanks for the info - we will be staying in Jefferson Landing, so I know I can ride in there at a minimum: heard something about Railroad grade road for cycling - but I'm uncertain what kind of...
I will be in the West Jefferson, Boone, Blowing Rock area for 3 months this summer and want to explore cycling. I have 2015 Specialized road Vita Elite and would like to enjoy the "flats" where I...
This is so unfortunate - on both sides as no one's lives will be the same. I try to steer clear of the roads and ride rails to trails most of the time - and with a group we are very cautious...
Thank you for sharing your early Thule feedback- we have vintage roof racks and carrier rails but I have gotten too old to climb for bike mounting! Glad to know they stand behind their products! I...
I am evaluating several platform carriers (Yakima Holdup $449, Thule T2 Classic $339, and Kuat Sherpa2 $449 ) for a basic 2 bike carrier. I have a newer 2015 Specialized Carbon Vita Elite frame,...
I am considering looking at property for retirement in the Asheville NC vicinity (+/- 150 mile). I'd appreciate connecting with anyone who can share bicycling interest with me. Hoping to look at...
Many thanks to the TE commenters on my previous post for advise. I ended up selecting a new (nicely discounted) 2015 Specialized Vita Elite Carbon disc medium purchased from nearby MS LBS. My back...
Helene,
Sorry you encountered our heat! It can be brutal so we ride early in mornings. As for the Memphis bike trails - downtown can get a little sketchy if you are unfamiliar with areas; but, if...
Thank you for the pointers . We currently we are riding flats and hills into a park with a pretty good long incline - my guess is about 300 ft elevation climb across a S patterned paved road maybe...
Thank you for comments on carbon. I thought I asked that question when I was first checking out the bikes, and I know the literature says something to effect of "compatible with Specialized Plug &...
Hi TE members, can anyone suggest best for training to prepare for my first 35 mile ride in FL coming up in Nov with Spoonbills & Sprockets ? I ride 1x weekly 20 mile, avg 10-12 mph, both flat(75%)...
Amazing how much color is a factor for women in buying! I've tried to rule it out in my bike search, but it keeps coming into the picture when other factors are equal. Beautiful color and fun to...
Thank you all for your comments. They have been invaluable. I am pursuing currently a 2015 Specialized Vita Elite Carbon Disc for a sweet price NEW. If that does not fit/like for some very odd...
Budget is $600-900 reluctantly - hopefully can up the quality through a used.
I am an experienced rider (57 yr, 150#), getting back into consistent weekly 20mi rides with friends on paved walking/biking trails- been riding now for a year. I may take bike on vacations to ride...
