I won’t disagree but will just add that I’ve encountered more riders than you’d think that do not have the confidence to stand on the pedals. Not that it applies here... but it surprises me every time I get that pushback.

This may sound a tad bit crude, but there's a few variables at play here and part of what you seek is in riding more. First and foremost is saddle fit. Saddle technology has come a LONG way since you last rode and there are innumerable saddle …

I made a Five Spice Cranberry Chutney from hearing it described on NPR and it was a hit... for the leftover turkey sandwiches AFTER Thanksgiving.

Vilen, My collarbone is also the one I broke, but I did not know it was broken until long after I was released from the hospital, and the ER staff must have missed it. Luckily it healed on its own without any need to re-break but, like you; I now …

Like you; I use them in abundance on the motos to fasten temporary things like a GPS, mirrors, and I love my RAM cupholder with the self-leveling gyro... keeps my coffee inside the cup, even if I have to buy in one of the disposable types. That …

Endurance racing injuries... where to start? Anytime the body is pushed beyond the rational limits of normal endurance (just what is "normal" anyway?) we find the inherent weaknesses. If you're a touch on the masochistic side; you continue pushing …

Agreed. My company makes UL listed products as well, for the Utility and Telecom industries and that entire approval process is... extensive. We also use ETL for some products but UL is more recognized as the safety regulation gorilla.

The unfortunate reality of the Greenway interactions is that both parties share the blame of the decency equation. The cyclists should not be hammering that fast on a Greenway when anyone else is around... they are not thoroughfares for bicycles …

Giant is a good choice. They have been a leader in the bicycle manufacturing business for decades and their warranty reputation is excellent. They actually are a contract manufacturer for a number of brands in addition to their own …

Yes, unfortunately there are and will always be bad apples in every demographic. It is also unfortunate that, the U.S. inparticular, does not take a more proactive and cautionary approach to the safety of the populus when a product is released. …

I get it Victor and you are totally right in that the U.S. retail markets are so often wrapped up in an idea of if they could make "x" product faster, more powerful, bigger, etc... they often don't stop to think if they should make it and/or the …

I can see the draw to these Hyper-cycles when coming from a motorcycling background but, from a dedicated pedal-cyclist's perspective. These are the antithesis to what we value from cycling. The E-bikes, in general, are accepted as an excellent …

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak boogity boogity Fastest thing on two feet boogity boogity

If you're gonna tiptoe through the creeks... MOVE!

One of my teammates that went to DK with me found some incriminating photos... Caption contest... never trust a banana wearing a facemask.

Honestly... the English language does not possess a word to communicate the immensity of that image... overwhelming, awesome, amazing, majestic.. all those really do well enough to describe the details, but fail to encompass the weight of it. An …

Thank you Chris. Writing it out like I do is just as cathartic for me as any other reason. ADV instilled in me a duty and sense of responsibility to curate the details of such a significant life event as soon as possible after completion. Once I …

I’d tell myself to have put in a crap ton more mileage in the months leading up to the race than I remember doing that year and to have been more judicious about nutrition testing. I r call I wasn’t running nearly as many calories per bottle that …

DSL not even available in my area... satellite only and it’s treated like a cell phone data plan. Capped and expensive per Gig. 25G cap per month is about $120 and that’s maxed at about 12Mbps

Took a tour at a brandy distillery in Louisville, KY this past Monday. They had a wild pollinator garden in the front so I checked out the buzz... grabbed this photo showing the proboscis strength on a carpenter bee. Unlike the honeybee, these are …

Thanks for the heads up and review. Will definitely have to check this out... hopefully they'll release a DVD version for us rural, broadband-deficient folks.
