I had a small meniscus tear and it took over a year to get the surgery. I injured it playing pond hockey one winter, hit a crack in the ice and I went one way, while my lower leg stayed put. Ouch! ...

Ah, cool! Thanks for the comments, good to know this happens to others. Feeling a bit stiff but much better today! Will keep it up, thanks!

I have had this happen a few times now and want to figure out what I'm doing wrong. First off, even though I've had my road bike fitted, I really don't think it's quite right. I often get numb feet...

LOL Kerry, I'm on a couch right now too!! Have been for wayyyy too long, I'm anxiously awaiting a mattress!!

For me, I've been through this with the same guy over and over (for the last 4 years)...

Ok, so I finally got my first flat. And I had those darned CO2 cartridges (that is all I had, duh!) but the adapter I had for them needs the threaded cartridges. The ones I bought this time weren't...

Ooh, if this is a thread about split-ups and bike riding for releasing tension, I'm IN!!!! :)

It sounds like I'm in the same spot as you two, I've had THE crappiest two months of my life, then at...

LOL!!!!!:D:D

For those recommending the Koobi saddles - any particular style you like?

MountainandRoad - I have some minor irritations while riding (numbness), and can't imagine what it would be like if it...

LOL redrhodie!!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. A friend of mine has kind of the same thing happening to her, so we're hoping it's just the beginning of the weight loss. My clothes feel a bit...

So I've been on the bike for about 3 weeks now this season, and have been steadily increasing the mileage each week. I'm up to 40km rides and planning a 55km ride for this weekend. I feel great when...

I ride mostly on a highway, but there isn't a huge amount of traffic. Cell phones are a no-go in my area (the boonies), I just let my hubby know where I am heading out and if I'm not back in x-amount...

Grapples are GREAT!!! I love grapes, apples not-so-much... until now! I devour the grapples.

Wow, all this info is totally promising. I recall many years ago having my b/f at the time tell me that he read something about how cycling is one of the most energy efficient types of exercise... or...

Woohoo! Congrats!! That's awesome to see, thanks for the update! :)

Ooh! What a great thread! Just what I needed to know to keep my bike happy. :D

Very nice!! Congrats!

I don't like to eat too much before I ride, and I just CAN'T eat hardly anything on my early commutes in. It's enough to ask my body to leave by 6:30 for the 1.5hr ride, thinking about digesting...

Welcome! I love your excitement! I'm kind of in that excited, giddy, silly, obsessed spot too. Even though I've always been riding bikes, this is my first foray into road bikes and mega-commuting on...

Laterider - just like GLC1968 says, practice! I am starting to get the hang of it too. It is totally my technique I'm sure of it. Good luck! :)

My pump is supposed to work on both types of valves - a Serfas pump, looked it up online. And I just had my first fairly successful pumping session! :D

Lisa - glad I could share in the...

My pump is supposed to fit both kinds of valves, so I guess I'll keep trying. I have been releasing the little nut, but trying not to release air. I will try that 2 short bursts next time.
...

What am I doing wrong? It's my first time with those Presta valves and I have a floor pump which I use before every ride, but what is the trick to making it work? I go to push the pump down and...

I've only had about 5 rides, 150km so far, but I already feel in mucho better shape. The appetite instantly got better once I started riding, just don't have the interest in the junk food when I'm...

Ouch!!! Good luck with those pedals - I have yet to try them, and that's exactly why!:o :)

Hey rose - I just picked up my first road bike, a Giant OCR3. I LOVE IT! And the bike shop spent almost an hour fitting me to the bike, it is definitely worth finding a shop who knows what they're...
