A new thread about cycling
Dissy:
I like to bike, Try to whenever I can. I use a cheap Mountain bike I got from a retail store.
I've replaced everything on my bike except for the frame.
I've been hit twice by cars. The first time, a van broadsided me, the helmet helped. The second time, a car clipped my front wheel, and I landed on my elbow, the helmet was useless, cause my head didn't hit anything.
Building a good bike is expensive, mostly cause the bike frames are so much. Get one second hand, sand it down, and paint it the way you want, then go from there

My boyfriend rides a lot of downhill bikes, and he built his own carbon-fiber frame recently. He also designed a continuously variable transmission to go with it. Basically I am second banana to all bikes, therefore I am jealous of them and refuse to ride them.
Here he is on his Bike of Adventure.

ok I'm alittle jealous of you right now. I'm only able to see that frame online. Did he have that at Interbike? I'm having a hard time remebering what magazines or where online I read about that frame.
and oh yeah I ride bikes. I have 4 atm commuter, road bike, dh bike and trail bike.
A customer of the bike shop I work at just gave me his bike + gas motor kit that he paid for us to install a couple months ago. I know it defeats the whole cycling purpose but its pretty cool.
Drill king hills are fun ^^
greenMonkey speedplay pedals are cool and ride nice but just a word of warning the cleats are sort of expensive to replace if you walk around alot in your cycling shoes. Nice choice on the Sidi's btw, i wear Zetas for my road riding and Eagle 6 for Mtbing.
edit: oh yeah I'm just alittle bit north of you guys just on the other side of the border in Thunder Bay, Canada.
Social Bacon:
How's the cycling in Thunder Bay? I'd bet the place is riddled with all kinds of trails through the bush.

I never learned to ride a bike as a kid. The last time I tried (early this year) was about 1am and I hit a lot of trees. The final straw was when I rode into the corner of a step of a WWI memorial, puncturing the tire and flying over the handlebars. Did I hit the statue? I don't recall. I just remember being on the floor.
ledhendrix:
I prefer cycling over hilly roads, because whilst the hills may be crap on the way up, they are shit loads of fun on the way back down. Cycling on the flat is just monotonous and boring.
