Exactly...one person's perceived level risk is different than another's. Some of you on this site are hard core mountain bikers, barreling down a steep slope, jumping roots and rocks. That's just...
If you would wear a helmet under the same riding conditions back home, why wouldn't you wear it there? I don't think the country you're in dictates whether or not you wear a helmet.
So if...
I agree. And with the new health care reform, everyone IS required to have health insurance here in the states, so that takes care of that issue (type of coverage apparently isn't an issue since we...
I think there is also a third group who don't recognize the protection helmets offer. It's not a matter of telling people what to do, they just don't see the point and there are many statistics out...
Interesting article....this topic and the new one solely about helmets are engaging some really great discussions. I'm stuck on a topic for an english paper and I think one of these may lead to...
I ride with a helmet 90% of the time. If I'm clipped in and/or riding with vehicle traffic or on uneven terrain, I wear it, which is most of the time.
After cleaning/tuning my bike and riding it...
I've got the Colorado ones on my car, too. I just got the Bicycle Colorado newsletter and was actually quite surprised to see that there are only 5000 state wide - I would have expected more...
I also have campus pedals on my commuter and I love them. I've gotten used to flipping them over when I need to, and since I do ride that bike in regular shoes, it's nice to not have to switch out...
Some people are just jerks and have no regard for anyone but themselves. Why would it matter if you're a "serious" cyclist or a casual rider? Why can't they just share the dang trail?
A couple...
@ knotted - from one hugely fat girl right now to another...LOVE IT!
I love clothes - PERIOD. No matter the when or where. But I really don't care what anyone else is wearing while they ride. I...
I have a Droid incredible and use worksmart labs cardiotrainer. I use the free app, I've had it on for hikes, walks, snowboarding, and use it weekly for rides. It maps even when I'm out of cell range...
Kitty looks like he wants a ride in that basket! Beautiful bike. I'd love to have a fun, get around bike like that.

I heard that on the radio this morning, too.
LMAO! Nice dream!!! I had a dream Tom Selleck was trying to kill me a couple weeks ago, and no matter what I did, he wouldn't die.
Part of me wonders if it's a hoax gone bad, too. He is SOOOO...
They have a cycling team and a multisport team - on the multisport, we do cycling and anything else: triathlon, duathlon, running and/or swimming.
I bought a pair of tri shorts on sale and wore a sporty swim suit top I already had with a quick drying tank over top (also already had). I didn't buy any other tri gear until after my third tri...
I'm on their multisport team - just got our kits in yesterday and they're sweet!
Jess, new women's only store opens Thursday on Bannock at 11th - WWW.tribellas.com
The owners are awesome, will take you seriously, and I have a 10% off coupon if you want.
I concur - your gears arent low enough for that kind of climbing. I have 36/46 up front and my stock cassette is 12-25 which makes for difficult climbs. I switched to an 11-28 and noticed an...
Good to know!
Back to the OP, if you aren't sure of your gearing or if you're in the right gear, do you have someone experienced that you can ride with who can watch what you're doing? We have a...
My first guess would be that you're not in the right gear. You shouldn't be pushing that hard. How steep are these hills and what kind of gearing do you have? I'm in Colorado, so I know climbs. I...
I know what you're talking about, Crankin. Everytime I go for PT, my therapist is amazed that 1) I can explain where my pain is coming from and what makes it feel better or worse; 2) that I...
I was stabbed in the palm of my hand with a pencil 30 years ago. The is STILL a black spot on my palm that looks like a tattoo. If you got grit under the skin and it healed over top, I doubt it's...
