I use shea butter, which stays put and helps immensely. Also, a good bike fit made all the difference in the world.
Also, have you had a bike fit lately? A combo of shorts, saddle and fit solved my chafing problems. Turns out my legs are really different lengths. Shims under one of my cleats as well as a new crank...
I travel a lot, and when I pass a bike shop, I usually go in. They ask if I need help and I usually reply that not really; I'm from out of town and can't resist going into a bike shop. Their response...
I think shorts/knickers are an incredibly personal decision. Sounds funny, but really. I swear by Sugoi after having tried PI, Castelli, and a few other brands. If the PI knickers originally worked,...
After seven years of doing AIDS Lifecycle, I decided to change it up and do the Climate Ride from NY to DC. Has anyone on the list done it? Would love to get some feedback.
also, are you using chamois butter? I find slathering up my "lady parts" helps a lot too. Keeps them moving.
I saw Russ today. I know he will be thrilled with your care package!
for those of you with too much, you might think of donating or giving away extras to cyclists who can't afford as much. I live in the sf bay area, and I give my extras to AIDS Lifecycle riders who...
My husband and I are thinking of taking our tandem to Montreal for a few days later this month. My thought is, find a "home" base, do some nice cycling, then go out for a nice dinner.
If anyone has...
I've switched from Nuun to Hammer Fizz. It just tastes better to me. Not terribly sweet. I usually carry a banana and a couple of clif or luna bars.
do you have a bike shop that will let you try out saddles? I found that it's often the combo of saddle, shorts and chamois butter. Also, I got a really good fit and that helped a lot. Turned out my...
won't do anything related to Susan G. Komen until their CEO resigns.
There is a terrible shortage right now. If you can donate, go for it. It doesn't affect me at all. I am anemic but I take iron so there is no problem. You could be saving a life. If you feel like...
I have one. I had a bad crash a couple of years ago and really lost my nerve. I ride tandem with my husband, but when I want to tool around the neighborhood the trike is great. Builds great quads,...
just back from RAAM and haven't been posting, but I'll chime in that I am a tandem rider and love my speedplay frogs.
saw you on the road. I was crewing for Team4HIVHope. Hope you had a great ride!
Team4HIVHope will be looking for you! We are racing for our second year (I'm crew). We are a friendly group and are happy to cheer on our fellow racers. In fact, two members of the Crank Addicts, one...
I've got a whizwheels terra trike and love running around the neighborhood on it. Make sure you get yourself a nice, big, noticeable flag. Trikes are a lot of fun. Don't be too impatient with it....
I'm a big fan of kineysis -- I probably spelled that wrong. But it works well, and the spray goes on dry. I also use their stick for the area around my eyes and my lips.
I'm really just talking about the stuff that's right over the vagina. That's where my hair is long. I think I will start trimming.
Thank goodness this is a women's forum. I'm trying to decide whether or not to trim my pubic hair. Part of me think it's a good cushion for the lady parts, and then part of me is thinking all it does...
I tend to use the big bowl for everything because I'm too lazy to go to the garage to get the small one. As far as Breville espresso makers, I would NOT recommend it. I'd get a Gaggia or a Saeco, or...
and while I'm going on about Breville, I have their toaster/convecton oven and their juicer. They are fantastic. Like everything else these days, they are made in China, but they actually own their...
I have not had problems with food getting caught above the blade the way it does in the Cuisinart. In addition, the blades are adjustable, reversible and far more easier to clean. It also has two...
