Interesting! Let us know how you like ‘em.

An update on those INRCOOL shorts: I ended up writing an email to TPTB over at PI. I was surprised to get a quick reply plus an offer to send them back (which I […]

I just ordered a pair of cycling shorts from Pearl Izumi that don’t have grippers at all. They should be here later in the week.

I don’t carry a lock on rides either. But, it doesn’t matter with the thief who was operating around here. He only targeted high-end bikes and, evidently, only acquired these bikes from the residents. This […]

I lock the bikes in the garage on vacation. Live in a reasonably safe hood. I do have a thin cable in my seat bag to lock as I go into a country store or? I don’t tend to lock it on century rides. I suppose […]

I live in a town that is 31040 acres and has about 7000 residents. people don’t lock there cars around here. most don’t look there house either. bike theft is almost nonexistent.

I lock the garage but not the bikes. I rarely lock my bike otherwise. I bought a very light cable lock I use at the store. I don’t lock my bike at work. In fact if it is not raining I leave my helmet just hanging […]

Commuter bike should have safety lights. The Cateye Loop SL-LD110 light set is my recommendation (frontwhite/backred/whitespoke-reflector-lights). The full set is $40 at NorCal bike shops, the front/back set is […]

As it turns out, they did NOT fix the leg grippers on the PRO INRCOOL shorts. They are still just as tight. So, I made another call. The contact then claimed “oh it was ANOTHER pair of shorts” about which he […]

Rapunzel, I am sure I will go the same way when I try them. A friend lent me a pair to try and I did like them a lot :)

Shane, depending on which of the 5-finger shoes you get, you might find yourself wanting to wear ONLY those. (I love the Komodo Sport LS!) I went shopping to look for other minimalist shoes and found that the […]

I’ve got a ppt presentation from the seminar we did on this subject, be more than happy to send it to anyone interested.

When I ran my first marathon when I was 14 I wore a pair of nike shox, they are great. I love them and I have never been without a pair seince.

Having read the book “Born to Run” by Christopher Mc’Dougall I am loving the idea of minimalist shoes/footwear. I myself have a pair of New Balance Nimbus which are a normal looking shoe (except for being […]

Controlled flight was invented by two bicycle mechanics/builders.

So, here’s what I found, quite by accident. Did you know that one of the definitions for hobby is “an early form of bicycle, without pedals”?

Yep, check it out on the 3rd set of definitions, 4th subsection:
