Getting told to get off the road!
OK, it is not a common occurrence for me, and I ride in traffic everyday. But.... This morning on my ride to work, I was yelled at twice to get off the road and ride on the sidewalk or bike path, once by a bus driver and once by a taxi driver. This is horrible because they are "professional drivers and should know the…

Could the roads get any worse?
I do not know about your area, but I bike about 30km to work and back each day and OMG are the roads bad. I did not notice as much last year when I was riding my Mountain Bike, but after switching to a road bike this year it is bad. If I do not check my tire pressure every 2 days, I end up with a pinch flat from all the…

First Flat on Road Bike
So, I got my first flat on the road bike this morning thanks to a pothole. I was still a few miles from work but I carry tire leavers, spare tube, C02. But one one thing I left out was the inflation head. I was lucky I had some change on me for the bus, but let this be a warning to others, bu sure to double check your flat…

Cold Ride this morning
Well it snowed here on the weekend, I was determined not to let that be the thing that stopped me from riding today. The roads were clear, but there were still some ice patches. What is the morning ride like where you are?

Clipless Road Pedals Vs Clipless Mtb Bike Pedals
Okay, I currently have clip-less Mtb Pedals on my road bike, I put them on so I could switch between bikes easily ( I ride the road bike more often) What are the advantage of Road Pedals over mtb pedals? Is it worth while to look at putting them on the road bike?

They come off like clockwork, anyone else?
I see lots of threads about people having weight fluctuations, up a pound, down a pound, things like that. I consider myself lucky the weight seems to come off like clockwork. I weigh in every day on a Withings Scale to keep an accurate log but it seems I can almost predict how much I will lose each day. I can't be the…
