I much prefer technical.

bimmette balet? check ...car mods? check? Mountain biking?

Would love to try!

I do still need to get back on my bike. It's getting cold here though.

Mr Tonka · 09-27-2016, 10:42 PM

Best time to ride.

Haven't been on the bike in a few weeks because of a sinus infection and a local mountain lion terrorizing my local trails, haha.

Riding a Santa Cruz Nomad XX1

Here she is when I was still riding flats.

Being eaten while out for a ride definately makes for a bad day

Sweet!

Still riding flats, as in you aren't any longer?

I was contemplating a Tallboy before the prices of the SB4.5 dropped.

Just paint a face on the back of you're helmet, should keep the cat from ambushing from behind.

PoorLurker · 09-29-2016, 11:57 PM

Switched to these pedals

Trying to be fast like Gwin.

Friend loves his yeti. don't think you could go wrong with the bike you got.

Just ride with a slightly slower "friend". You get to ride still and no worries about the kitty.

Since moving to NH I get asked why I have a bell hanging under my seat. I say it's a bear bell and get the "what?" response. So I say again a BEAR bell. For BEARS. "Oh......" There are bears on the mountain behind my house in MD. Not going to be chased by a bear. Turkey OK....bear no OK. I ride a trek fuel ex with mavic wheels. 26" for life.

How do you like the pedals?

I just switched to these from more of a spd style. Loving them so far. Quick to get out of, easy to get in. Big enough to ride un clipped.

Do you actually really like them or are you just back pedalling now?

sorry

I am enjoying the pedals. Don't have much to compare them to in terms of being clipped in.

Oh God... not getting the puns cranked up again are we?

(Bonus: Do more Jewish people ride clipped or unclipped?)

Psh I could ride circles around you if we do this.

jtodd_fl · 09-30-2016, 10:53 AM

I dunno... I may be able to tire you out.

Ok I could get pumped up enough to keep going.

jtodd_fl · 09-30-2016, 10:56 AM

You should tread lightly when using the word "pumped".
