Do a better job of integrating other forms of exercise with cycling.
Not get dropped on the hammer ride, just once.

So exciting! I am jealous. It seems like you could buy the cooler weather gear as you ride north. You may even be able to order it on line and have it shipped to the UPS or post office in towns...
That is hilarious.
As for lost rings, mine is too big because I have lost more than 30 lbs since getting married, so I just moved it to my middle finger. It fits perfectly. My husband was a...
I wish I had eloped to save the hassle and expense, but it does seem like the type of thing that requires more than a lunch break. There should be a little effort and time more put into it than a...
I get horrible cabin fever in the winter. It tends to be rainy around here instead of snow. If it snowed I could cross country ski. Instead I put my bike on the trainer. I also joined a gym so I...
Beautiful bike.
Thanks for the tip about renting a case. I hadn't thought of that. I am concerned about torque when putting it back together, and figured I would have to pack a torque wrench.
At this point, I...
Does anyone have advice for how to ship a bike? Some friends and I are considering a tour next year. I have read too many horror stories about TSA taking the shipping containers apart and losing...
On Saturday, I rode an easy 35 miles with a friend. On Sunday, I had a strange ride by myself. I live in a hilly area, and in order to really call yourself a hill climber, you have to tackle a...
That is weird and would definitely be outside my comfort zone. I did cry at work once when reporting sexual harassment, but I have never seen my supervisor cry.
I did have a problem a while back...
If your bike computer can transmit to the rear wheel, you should be able to easily do that without going to the LBS. If you are in the market for a rear-wheel sensor system, I recommend the Cateye. ...
I have one of the Lezynes with a screw-on chuck so it doesn't bend the valve stem. It is nice because I can get my tires up to 110 psi with out a ton of upperbody strength. The only problem is that...
Nice!
Leave the heart-rate monitor and home and go have fun!
If you think about it in terms of percentage increase, it is not a small increment. Also, everyone starts somewhere. As long as...
Gel saddles are known for the gel shifting and rubbing in new places. Does your LBS have a test ride policy? Also, check to make sure the nose of your saddle hasn't nudged upward. Only a couple...
I agree with what the others are saying. Take test rides, find an LBS you can work with.
When it comes to women specific bikes, they are based on the assumption that we have shorter torsos and...
What kind of bike do you ride? Most road bikes don't have the clearance for 28 mm in either the brakes or the forks. Cyclocross and touring bikes tend to have the clearance though.
Why do you...
Job searching can be so frustrating. Fortunately I haven't had to do it in a while, but I do conduct interviews.
I agree with Crankin that you should always look good, even if you are just...
Thanks, but I try not to buy myself things this time of year. I have put in a request with Santa.
I used to have a flat coat. That dog was way too smart and curious. Eventually, we just started leaving doors open because she would open them all if they weren't locked.
Dear dog,
Yes it is...
Chafing stinks, but diaper cream helps it heal. I read that on a running site and tried it. That stuff is magic.
I have about a 50 miler planned with my regular Sunday group today. It should be...
I understand your frustration with having the bike lanes removed, but I think they are the wrong approach. Why don't drivers' tests have questions that address the rights of cyclists on the road? I...
Your post reminds me of when I lived in New Orleans. People thought 40 degrees was cold. It cracked me up to see how they bundled up for what I considered jacket weather. I will say that the...
I don't think mine are as wide as Oakleaf's, but I would say your feet are wide if you have a hard time finding shoes that fit in a typical store.
If you were in WV, I would say that I know the guy who owns that. His is a custom job that he pulls out for charity rides. It looks so uncomfortable.
I started with Northwave MTB shoes on my road bike because they fit my wide feet. I feel like a poseur wearing MTB shoes, so I spent months looking for new ones. I really don't like the tongue on...
