" just have one question. Being new, that's allowed, right. If you unclip to clipless, isn't that a circular canceling-out statement? I'm not clipped in to no clips. I don't know nuffin' much anyway."

Sorry, my wierd sense of humour playing on double negatives. No real question. It is kinda weird "unclipping" from "clipless".

It was the *right* pedal that fell off. (is that significant?). I think I'm right footed (is there such a thing), but that might be a throwback to horse-riding (always mount from the left).

I'm an aussie living in canada. Thought we'd be done on the bikes by now due to the weather but have been blessed with a warm november. I think the days are numbered. It's supposed to be near freezing this weekend.

Bike has a nice new trainer to get acquainted with. Right now, bike is too much of a dirty girl to come in the house. On sunday, I took her to the local 6km trail to find it was mostly underwater. Muttered "speed is your friend", meaning "please don't fall now" cause failing to unclip in ankle deep swamp water might be just a little too much of a hypothermic experience. Cycleaquatics?

Anyway, it's great to meet a bunch of woman who like to bike. I'm learning a ton from you.
