Not verying exciting, but I'm going to a little town outside of Lafayette, Louisianna. My mom & I have the same b-day, so we are gonna go visit my dad whose doing a pipeline construction project over...
So, my b-day isn't till Sunday, but I'm going on vacation for 5 days, so my brother decided to give me my presents early. I came home & strapped to Oscar(aka my bike) were:
-Pepper Spray (with...
Ok, so I'm finally confident enough in my cycling skills to give commuting to work a shot. My trip is a little over 8 miles one way. Now, in my mind, my normal road bike ('05 Giant OCR 3) tires are...
I got a pump with gauge on it & it is a breeze to use. Now I only need to figure how to hook up my computer & I should be set!!
Heh, I love that. I'm still waiting for that moment, :p
I have yet to ride during a cycle (only had my bike for 1 cycle, it rained that week) but I'm planning on just trying a tampon & going with that.
When I got my bike(back in May) I went to the 2 local bike shops & talked with them first. Truthfully, the Specialized dealer was extremely unhelpful & only gave me one bike to try. The Giant/Trek...
Are there any websites that can explain/help you create training schedules?
I'm finding I'm more interested in distance than speed when it comes to cycling, but I'm not sure how to properly train...

Anyone have one of these, if so, what do you think of them??
It's b-day month in Pikato land & I'm thinking of asking...
Aw!!:( :( :( I'm soooo sorry.
Me three!!
It just seemed more logical to start from the beginning with clipless, than getting used to something else & switching to clipless later.
I agree that pushing yourself is a great thing to do, but at the same time for a lot of people, just getting on the bike is pushing themselves. I lost 48 pounds before I'd even allow myself to walk...
Dear ex-coworker who has been hounding me to go on Wednesday night rides:
OK, I finally gave in. I talked with my grad school prof, explained I would not be able to be in class tonight, turned in...
:( I haven't been, but since reading these forums, I know I should. Which is why I went out and bought a tire pressure gauge. Kirk & I finally figured how to inflate the tire--you were right, I...
Forgive me in advance, I know I've read about this somewhere on here, but I guess I"m not typing the right words into the Search box.
Tomorrow, I'm doing a group ride & went to air up my tires for...
Pooks-
Yes it's confusing, but the old 'cage' looking pedals are originally called clips. Then they developed clipless pedals--which you are CLIPPED into the pedal--but because that name was...
Oh, definitely, that's what I've been doing. It's just that there are 3 'good' 20+ mile paths in Corpus--LBS gave me maps--and they are all high automobile traffic areas that make me feel...
See, in Corpus Christi there is just one group of about 30-50 riders who ride on Wednesdays & Saturdays.
Tom wanted me to go to Wednesday night rides to get to know a group of 5 chicks who go...
Hi all! Just wanted to pop in & say I'm still riding the Saturday morning group ride, but am becoming discouraged. I know it's only been a little less than a month of group riding, but the group ride...
I did end up buying them at Walgreens, then over the weekend I went over to LBS & as some sort of promo they were giving away beans for free. So, I bought another water bottle & they gave me a bag of...
I've been talking about sciatica on my blog this week. There is something up with our work chairs, because another coworker & I have the same issue. We've been trying everything for it, but yesterday...
Yep, completely serious. I've watched them do it, and I still can't figure why it takes that long! But I swear my one cousin has a brush, wand, sponge, applicator for damn near every product there is!
As for make-up, I can tell you what goes on my face right now:
Powder, Mascara, lip gloss. That's it & that's only for work.
My dad always had this saying "A Little Powder, a little paint, makes...
That is sooooo great!!
As for clipless, I got them the week after I got my bike, and except for the first fall, I really think they were a snap to learn! I"m happy you found a LBS that would...
