The one time I had a discussion like this at my LBS, it was a general conversation i.e. I wasn't having a problem, we were just chatting about bike gear. He mentioned something that worked well for...
I haven't ridden either of the bikes you're looking at so can't help much there. But I have a couple friends who wanted to bike commute and started out with bikes that were sort of like the Felt -...
See if you can find a Salsa Vaya to test ride too. It's right around your top end price but if you like it you could probably find last year's model going for a little less. I got one last year to...
Glad that both you and the robin are fine! I haven't hit/been hit by a bird yet, but had to brake for a family of quail on today's morning commute.
I have a 4 mile commute (if I go by the most direct route) and a somewhat similar office situation. I'm a fed employee but in an office with a more relaxed dress code on most days - though I do have...
Funny how many people think biking somewhere is a major endeavor. They don't realize how much fun we're having (most of the time).
We just got a small grant to buy 2 bikes to use as "pool...
The digital temp on the high school sign read 104 as I rode home tonight. Admittedly it runs a little high, catching heat off the building I think. But I'm catching heat off the road so we're even....
Just a +1 to try different brands til you find one that fits your head shape. Bell helmets give me headaches (tried a couple different ones with the same result). Specialized helmets consistently...
That's great, I may have to post it in my office! Though I only wish my friends thought I was that fast.
Saturday was windy and generally unpleasant so that was an indoor trainer day. Sunday was sunny, though still a little windy and cool. Did 30 miles, flat to rolling with one short hill. Although I...
Yes, the LR course is very forgiving as well as pretty - lucky for me. Good luck this weekend! Let us know how it goes.
Oh, and I looked up Chalk Creek on Map My Ride. I'll have to try it...
I'm signed up for the Little Red ride in June (see Marni's thread about that) and have been riding often but not long rides, mostly 15 mile commutes and 20-25 mile weekend rides. Since I hope to...
I saw them several times during my college years in northern Wisconsin (in Ashland). Would love to see them again. They're rarely visible here in Utah, but it could happen.
Here, guys in big diesel pickups like to come up beside you then hit the gas. Not only does the engine roar right in your ear, it produces a big cloud of black exhaust. The first couple times I...
I pledged too. I already try to ride to work most days but this will get me to do it in iffy weather when I might otherwise decide to drive. Today was rainy but I rode and it was kind of fun to be...
missjean, you talked me into it. I pledged too.
I use eggbeaters on my road bike. I know they're not road pedals, but they're just so darn easy to get in and out of. They were my first clipless pedals and I'm still satisfied with them. I mostly...
Got a late start this morning so I didn't need my headlight. Unfortunately I didn't think ahead to the ride home when I decided to leave the light behind. My afternoon meeting ran long so I ended...
will they order something for you, and still give the 20% discount? I bought a Salsa Vaya recently and love it - see this thread: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=49864

We're having beautiful riding weather this week, so after missing quite a few days in early November I'm back in the swing of bike commuting. Temps in the high 20s in the morning, low 50s coming...
That really is rotten luck, I'm so sorry. You are still part of that team, you've earned it, so try to celebrate their ride even as you mourn the loss of your opportunity (and it is a kind of...
After discovering GeoMan Gear was out of business (see earlier post) I looked around and found that the light I bought from them is basically a Magicshine light like this one:...
had a gorgeous commute today. The morning ride was just before sunrise, and the sky was streaked with red and gold clouds. 34 degrees which really isn't bad at all with wind pants and a jacket....
I have a helmet mounted light that I love. Three out of the 4 employees in my office who ride to work this time of year use the same kind. It was made by GeoManGear but when I went to get a link...
Yep, I'm in the same state/State. :rolleyes:
Sometimes I wonder if I'll even bother to vote, but I always do (and thank you, BikeDuchess, for reminding me to appreciate it). I'm glad to have the...
