Age of saddle, I think every saddle is different. One of my riding buddies loves the Terry butterfly but she has to buy a new one every 3rd year. She can tell when her back starts to get tweakie...

Thanks for all the validation, Still no news on the "policy" of the police. I will report she is doing fine. Sore and bruised but has the bike "working" and able to ride. The good news is the...

This could go pretty much anywhere in the forum so decided to put here. My amazing daughter lives in Portland, OR. She commutes by bike, everyday, from NE Portland to OHSU (SW Portland) As she was...

another thought, how many miles on the saddle? Is it time for a new saddle?

The hunt for the perfect saddle :) Just have to share, was so pleased when a husband and wife dropped in the other day. they had read my article (where I did the basic synopsis of TE suggestions...

A couple things to consider as you branch out and invite others. Keep the group small - 12 or less. If you are taking first time S24O riders consider keeping the distance somewhat short for that...

I started weight training the end of July last year, I am 57. I didn't have as much weight to lose but can still relate to the wrinkles. I have lost 19 pounds of fat but I have gained 6 pounds of...

a great resource for many across the nation is Recovery International I can't begin to explain the impact of attending recovery meetings on my DH and because of that how it has improved our marriage...

We sell both Soma and Surly too, I would lean toward a Surly - just think they frames are put together better. Troll's are pretty this year for sure. A disc trucker is also a perfect option for...

Good goal, I am assuming it is pave the entire way? Perhaps the tires on the CX are the issue that make you feel the energy zap. I would choose the bike that fits the best, especially if the trail...

Our informal group of bike riders has adopted the name "wandering wheels of Idaho" We ventured south the last weekend in April and did a very fun ride in the Duck Valley Indian Reservation. One of...

Just want to point out a few things about putting the saddle all the way back. As Grant would also point out, Brooks tend to have shorter rails than several other saddles. Sliding my Rivet all the...

Just ordered a new pair of Serfas Shttps://www.serfas.com/categories/opticsike Out. This will be my third pair - I lost one pair and broke the other. For the price, I have yet to find anything that...

agree with starting with the tilt. Everyone is different. My saddle has a visible upward tilt and to the naked eye one might think it to tilted but super comfy for me.

Should also add the when I...

double ouch, some of it sounds like just plain bad luck. I get the switching from the fat bike - so forgiving to the cross bike. Wonder if in the process of losing control you inadvertently focused...

interesting, will go read about it. We sell quite a few brooks saddles but I love my Rivet Pearl, woman owned company based in Sacramento (no, not usa made, saddles are made in Taiwan) I like...

Dear wonderful women on TE,
Last year there were some great book suggestions on Dear So and So suggested for someone leaving a relationship. I can't find the posts (imagine) If anyone has some...

ouch pricey but the Giles Berthoud bags shown on the photo are close to $1,000.
I am very fortunate to have a Giles Berthoud front bag that will be going in my will someday... Love it

oh man, snakes don't bother me but one of my riding buddies get totally freaked out, even when they are smashed on the road snakes. Last year on our Owyhee uplands scenic byway ride a group of us...

Ha, we were having this conversation the other night. Training ourselves to not get out of bed to pee just because we woke up :)
Of course better to drink and go to the bathroom often than to not...

ER doc "how did you crash" rider "I was attempting a snot rocket without getting it all over myself" - Okay just kidding. I am not very good at snot rockets so I actually carry a hanky and I use my...

Lots of options from Iowa to Washington, especially when you aren't limiting yourselves to pavement. In addition to crazy guy and adventure cycling starting searching each state for bike routes. We...

Have you tried a little more upward tilt in the nose? Doesn't have to be much. We find that most leather saddles need to have a slight nose tilt.

Yesterday I rode a 54 cm disc trucker on our Oregon Trail ride. 42 miles on dirt roads, 40 degrees and a headwind of about 15 mph - ugh. But the bike was great. I swapped out the stock tires for...

A big part of recovery for me is taking the time to stretch and to use my foam roller. Oh and I have started to drink 8 oz of electrolyte before I go to bed, seems to help with leg cramps.
I...
