It's humorous and down-to-earth.
Does it make a difference that you won't be handling any major climbs in the bike?
...is when I experience that moment of clarity going up, consisting of a little voice inside saying, "Why the hell am I doing this?"
I heard it just the other day on the Guadalupe Mines Road.
These kind of discussions make me NEVER want to join a club!
Doesn't anybody ride for fun anymore?
Feedback on this topic would be great! I have the same problem - legs still going but have to stop because I can't breathe! It's so embarrassing pulling over to pant while the fit people zoom by...
Although I've gotten faster, slightly, I find that I like longer rides at a continuous moderate pace. Also, I'm finding that I don't really hit a groove until after I've been riding for about...
Don't give up. I'm on the fourth saddle on my new bike and finally found one I like. I know how frustrating it is to keep taking them back... and then be in pain again. The last one I tried was...
I had this problem for the first few months of this year, or since I took up cycling again. EVERY time I went riding, after about twenty minutes, I would be dealing with toe numbness on the outside....
So how did the ride go?
I live right by a middle school and I can't believe how many kids are riding (on the wrong side of the road, talking to their friends) without helmets, or, my favorite, wearing the helmet on the back...
I think it may be true that some naturally alert individuals can handle riding with headphones. I'm not one of those people.
The "on your left" thing doesn't really work when the person you're talking to can't hear you. I've had a different experience - riding frequently on the heavily used Los Gatos Creek Trail, I have...
I wouldn't be able to make it to the first rest stop! Well, I might, but then I'd probably climb off the bike and lay down and cry. And then I'd call my mommy and ask her to come get me.
Yeah, I...
KSH - any chance you could do the MS150 on the back of a tandem? :D
Does anyone else here go riding in the rain?
I do, usually when it's sprinkling on and off... So I have two questions - is it hard on my bike to ride in the wet and how dangerous is it?
Sorry to hear of your frustration - you know we are all rooting for you! - for your ride in the MS150 and beyond... I know how hard it is when you're really psyched up for something... and then a...
You must be so proud of him!
...on the WTB. As to your old saddle, I'm coming to that same point with my Serfas Rx. It was great when I was riding max 30 - 45 minutes. But now, I'm just in pain all the time. Mashed ladyparts...
Got my keychain yesterday! The purple one!
Thanks!
So you're saying it should be easier to clip in and out?
I'll have to talk to my LBS!
Snowtulip - do you mean the cleat on the shoe can be adjusted? Because the clip on the pedal is supposed to be set on its loosest setting.
Maybe it's just the pedals... They are Wellgo. ...
OK, so I got my clips! Tried them out today in the doorway - am having a hard time finding the right spot with my foot. But clipped in and out a coupla times - then went out in the backyard to tool...
OK, I lost count at one point of how many times I reread this book as a child. But for a white bike, Merrylegs won't work - he was a dapple gray!
I had (have) a bike named Silver. It's a good name!
I just found a website listing bicycle guide books that included Utah in the Rocky Mountain States... Of course EVERY book listed was for mountain biking.
It's so pretty there... when it's not...
Is anyone else doing it?
It's going to be my first ever charity ride, so I'd love any and all feedback/help/warnings...
