    Many places offer lesson rental packages. XC skiing is a sport where you do want lessons. Our nordic club has 2 hour lessons for $30...what's not to love about that?

    There is so much more than just trusting the tires. It is whole different skill set, more related to dirt biking (motocross style) than road bicycling.

    For slow tight corners, you must be off your...

    For gearing, it's really going to depend on type of terrain and riding you do. I'd go with what your shop recommends. Wolf seems to be "the" brand for add on granny gears. That's what I have and it's...

    Hybrids aren't good at anything, IMO. They aren't very good on road or trail. MTBs have different gearing that road bikes, so for a partner to not be on a similarly geared bike might be a problem.

    I totally get your "uhhhhh now what" feeling. I don't remember exactly what I did but it worked on the file I was dealing with. Cablibre seems to have a lot of on line help articles.

    If you have calibre, you should be able to fix the formatting.

    Go to preferences> conversion > common options > heuristic processing. I've used this to fix a number of books with funky formatting.

    Teva no longer makes the Links. You can occasionally find leftovers on closeout. 5-10 is really the only flat sole bike shoe company out there, but skate shoes will work too.
