You probably do need a wider saddle. Unfortunately, a common pattern is that the wider the saddle, the more it is padded, and often it's the padding that causes problems in areas other than the sit...

I'd definitely try some sort of lube before you puzzle out any other factors... it's probably the simplest thing to try, and if that works, then you're good). Chamois Butt'r or similar is relatively...

I was one week over 4 when I learned to ride without training wheels... I did it the day after my sister (almost 6) did :) I only vaugely remember this.. or riding with training wheels. There was...

How funny.. I was just watching a bunch of single track videos my sister linked me to. It DOES look like fun :D

There is SO much more to bike fit than standover height... I would personally question if you could be comfortable on a 44cm frame at your height. I would think that you would essentially be all...

You can do the play-dough method, which is probably the easiest if you're doing it yourself, or you can go to a shop and have them measured.

I measured mine with the play-dough method and then...

I agree.. I only saw female NP's or midwives until I was 20... I'm not sure I would have been able to handle having a male doctor examine me down there at 15.. or even 17 or 18.. or heck, any point...

Two problems with this statement.. your ortho really can't speak for what is comfortable for *you* on the bike, and just being a cyclist does not make him an expert on bike fit... especially because...

My measurements are not too far off yours and prefer bibs :) I have both L and XL pearl izumi bibs and I prefer the L... they fit better all over.

It really depends on what size your stem is and what kind of change you're talking about... if you have a 100mm stem and go to a 90mm, you're not likely to notice much change in handling, but you'd...

I need better pics of my Takara since I never took any once it was finished, but I can share some of the kid sized mixte :)

It was my rusted $10 thrift store score - the guy really looked like he...

I do.. every day :P Seriously, my hair is not straight but it is wavy (and not frizzy) and the way I keep it cut is very much a "shake and go" style... I use ZERO product on my hair.. not even...

I rode a BRAND NEW brooks on an almost 60 mile ride recently and it was just fine.. but my rear end is already used to riding on a brooks (I have them on all of "my" bikes as well as my old hybrid,...

Awesome! I just got back from a painfully slow ride with my own 9 year old... makes a tandem REALLY tempting!

I agree.. my DH is MORE comfortable riding (and jogging) on them, but as he rides very slow, and doesn't really understand "ride etiquette" he isn't really aware of the dangers or problems that MUT's...

This is true.. but ONLY if you fail to maintain correct tire pressure (meaning checking/filling before every ride - invest in a good floor pump if you haven't already). If you fail to do so, road...

Don't think like that! You CAN do it! 20 miles was my big mental barrier, but once I did it, I was like "whoa, that's all?" and after that I found myself wishing I had enough free time to go on...

I think it depends on which side of the bike you're looking from.. I generally start with mine at about 2 o'clock... if you were looking from the right side (I start with my right foot on the pedal).

I'm pretty sure it has the exact same hub I just put on my vintage Mixte.. and I had a wheel custom built for it, and that ran me just under $300 (including shipping). I felt it was a reasonable...

Ahh.. well given that you want triple chainrings, if the geometry is likely to work for you, I'd recommend having a Soma frame built up. Depending on how it's done it can be reasonable in price or...

I think this is a good point.. I am lucky to live in an area with (mostly) great shops, so I've never truly had an overwhelmingly negative experience in one.

My preferred source for most generic...

I'm confused by what you're asking.. are you looking for a 3 speed? I'm guessing so..

Linus makes a cute 3 speed very much vintage looking mixte.. I actually one one, and it's super tempting to...

If it's an ongoing issue, call animal control or the sherrif's office where you are... that's really the best you can do, especially if roaming dogs are against the law. To get their attention make...

I agree.. my Mixte came with a 60cm stem (and 34cm bars!) and "twitchy" was the only appropriate way to describe it.. it did not work for me. Those same bars and stem are on my 9 year old son's...

That is wonderful, isn't it? I think it's one of the best things about living where I do :p
