As someone who owns a dog that zips back and forth quickly across the path on (yes) a fairly long leash, it is the cyclist’s responsibility to avoid the leash and the dog. I often rein in my dog when I see someone coming, but if someone approaches from behind, they better damn well be careful...

Spoke, that’s great. I’m happy that Aventon has been proactive. I have recommended Aventon bicycles to a few acquaintances as I think they will be a survivor in the ongoing price wars in various classes of affordable bikes. Of course it’s hard to predict. And, since technology doesn’t stand...

Greetings from my daily 20miler turn-around:

No doom bells set off here, Charge. There are far more outrageous things going on in the world to set those off. My leg cramps (and I hope yours) are extremely small potatoes by comparison. :) That’s a real bummer about your cramps! I hope those come under control for you someday, man...

Good thoughts, guys. I appreciate it. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who has these. Fair enough, Jeremy. Whether or not it’s due to riding I can’t say for sure, but I think it correlates for the most part. I’ll have to pay a little bit more attention. ;) Hey, Harry. I don’t get...

Hi gang, I was wondering if any of you get leg cramps during the night when you’ve ridden during the day… On average, I’m on the bike about 1.5 - 2 hours when I ride. I occasionally get hamstring cramps at night (sleeping) which are sometimes a bit shocking and they can takes about 15-20...

Welcome aboard, @GMA52 .

I had one as a child. I loved it!

Tough day to miss, @newts !! Had a gorgeous ride today. Hope you can button up the Gazelle quickly.

My ebike is awesome, Stefan, even if you don’t like it. Can’t argue about my cycling abilities though. ;) And, as for a fancy cassette, I can admire the beautiful metals even if there’s no way in heck I’d spend the money for one. :) Sadly, that is missing tungsten carbide. :D

As promised, above… Fall colors are a bit past “peak,” but the oranges, browns, and especially the yellows are astounding. I’m going to post a little photo essay (below) of one direction — due west — of my daily ride. Right now, I’m chowing down and getting ready to head home. It will be a...

Nothing good.

That’s slick, Chris! Sorry if you already posted it and I’ve forgotten (but pictures from the first page aren’t showing up anyway)… I think you said Di2 is a future for this bike? So, what shifting mechanism are you using for this Deore XT derailleur, and what does the shifting mechanism look...

It’s like a black and white Christmas! I have to say, as a huge fan of various awesome metals (Ti included) this just really cranks my tool. ;) (Apologies for the huge thread veer… I promise some spectacular pictures of peak fall from my ride later. Promise…. :D )

My goodness! That’s a crazy trek on a scooter… Although, I must admit I’ve never seen a scooter with bicycle wheels before. Oh, and it was only his 3rd longest ride!

Probably seems a bit silly, but I like your two-tone gears, Stefan! That’s cool.

Amen, brother. And my mileage does indeed vary! :D

FYI, I re-read it, Jeremy, and I still don’t see any mention about upstroke and rider power. I guess you mean that it’s implied by his comment about sprinting performance (and yours ;) ) and his saying “efficiency” is pretty much a wash…? Regardless, makes sense to me, but then I’m not a...

Good article. I always thought people gained power on the upstroke with clipless, Ras.. Might’ve missed it, but didn’t think I saw it mentioned in the article. That might’ve been a factor at some point. Anyway, very interesting, guys! I certainly agree that flat pedals seem fine to me. In...

Gocha’… Yeah, I’ve seen those. Thanks!
