It is possible that you are riding with your toes instead of using your entire foot (does that makes sense?) - I have a tendency to do that and it makes my toes/feet very tingly. Remember that...

Gorgeous bike, enjoy!
I don't know much about the HED Ardennes CL's but the Mavis are nice rims. My DBF has Mavic Ksyrium Elites that he has ridden very hard over the past years (well over 15,000 miles) and the bearings...
Definitely wasn't intentional in my opinion... they crashed on a bit of a turn at speeds of 40+mph and Cavendish should really have moved up his left (like Kittel was it?) rather than his right. I...
Maybe compact bars with shorter drops would help (as opposed to standard bars which have longer reach and a deeper drop).
I'm so sorry for your loss Amanda :(
ny biker started a spoilers thread :)
What a strange couple of days at this TdF... I was definitely disappointed not to see the big sprinters near the finish line yesterday but I'm very happy for both Kittel and Bakelants. Bakelants...
The Clymb is also a good (invite only, but easy to get an invite to) site for good quality cycling clothing. You can also try Backcountry.
Becky you put it perfectly with "smaller penalty for failure." I have been coasting since I was a child and I'm not sure I want to unlearn that painfully :D Actually now that I think about it, the...
Ah that makes sense, thanks! I once read someone describing going up hills by "pulling" the handlebars towards herself (I think it was on TE?) and have found that to work for me psychologically, but...
I was chatting with an employee at my LBS who was the state champion for the 10 mile time trial yesterday and he gave me some interesting food for thought. He was telling me that at the time of...
Out of curiosity why the loose grip on handlebars while seated up the hills? I have a death grip on my handlebars when I'm going up hills :D
Congratulations Marni!! I can't wait to see the photographs when it arrives!
Not sure if any of these fit your bill but there is a concurrent thread about grocery panniers here. Good luck!
I don't doubt that is true but at least for me with the same helmet I find that the front part digs into my head a bit in longer rides and a tiny bit more padding prevents that from happening. I'm...
Muirenn - I'll check those out, thanks!
Sorry in advance for hijacking my own thread but I want to a LBS today to check out the Felt ZW series and ask a couple of questions. I asked the...
I'm sure if you took your helmet to the LBS that you bought the helmet at they would be more than happy to help you adjust the straps to better fit you (or decide that it just doesn't fit you well)....
Skippyak - good point. I had a fitting for my Roubaix but I should get a general fit to see what geometry would be best for me. I would definitely get a men's frame if it was a better fit for me.
...
They look great! I hope they're comfortable too :)
I tend to get headaches very easily from tension on my head, particularly headbands and glasses. My first helmet was very cheap and uncomfortable, as were my first cycling glasses (both from...
+1 keep investing in your health and happiness!
I seriously applaud you for being able to stick up yourself during that kind of verbal abuse. I can't stand it when men pull that "little lady" or "honey" nonsense! It's unbelievable how...
Not sure if 15-20 minutes is too long for you but that's how long most dinners take for DBF and/or I to cook for two. Rice takes 10-15 minutes and so does cooking chicken and vegetables. Then you can...
+1 for number 4!! The great thing about riding in pairs/groups is holding everyone accountable to that. Sounds like you've had an incredible month of riding!
