Riding around Breckenridge

I left them stranded? No, they left themselves stranded by not being prepared. I don't exist to rescue road weenies. And I wasn't blocking the pump. It's accessible from both sides. I can't help it that folks don't communicate.

Riding around Keystone

Riding around Copper Mountain, CO a few weeks ago

Maybe ya missed the part about the guys being jerky from the get-go I stop & offer assist to almost anyone I see having issues. Almost :)

Huffy coming back on the scene!

I usually try to stay away from such generalizations. I get it. I really do. And it's probably more of a local thing. But I ride a lot. I'm out there most days. And that's what I've gathered from 12 years of riding in Colorado - most road weenies are dicks. And the force multiplies when...

It's funny that what's completely normal and legal in one state can put you in prison in another. I live in Colorado and we've had legal weed for 11 years now. As of last week or so, we had sold $15 billion in recreational weed. It's taxed on several levels, and distributed all over...

Usually ride with a Samsung watch. I don't track rides much anymore, but it gives me text, Webex and phone call info without looking at my phone - which is never easily accessible. It also lets me know when it's time to re-up on the sunscreen.

Amen to this here. I got my first flat on tubeless in close to 5 years of using them today, and it was because I failed to keep an eye on the sealant level. The fix was - remove stick, add sealant, spin wheel, inflate, ride off. Tubes drool

About as far west as you can go from Frisco, CO and stay on bike path. This is quite a way up the south side of Copper Mt + probably holds enough snow to ski a little later. Err, probably too much. It's steep on a bike, but would be boring on skis. Looking back toward Frisco. This is one...

So I was riding home from work today and experienced my first flat on a tubeless setup. Once I noticed the rear getting squishy, I found a good spot to stop and quickly found a 2-3 mm stick between the center tread and sidewall. That's right - a stick. That's a first. Once I pulled it out...

Life's too short to ride cheap bikes :)

Just get off the fence & try it. I'll never go back to tubes. I won't bother getting too deep into the whys as that's been pretty well covered here and all over the www, but they just work exceptionally well. Flats are a thing of the past and maintenance is super quick with a syringe & valve...

Why not just get a rack from a 7 and put it on the 8? That rack on the 8,9 makes no sense to me - can't put anything on top.

Was uploading stuff to Youtube 'till they cut me off for using ad blockers. Can still upload, but no more streaming without turning ad blockers off. Not going to keep giving them free content if they won't let me watch videos.

In my 1st year of ebike commutes I logged about 3,000 miles & replaced a chain and tires. OEM chain was not an ebike chain, so only lasted 1,000 miles or so. Ebike chain has not worn enough to show up on the stretch-o-meter yet. Tires were not made for this, so I switched to IRC Boken Plus -...

I'd start with an analog hardtail first - especially if the goal is to shed some pounds while exploring. You can get a nice starter bike for a grand, where good eMTBs are gonna be tough on that budget. You'll also need a few basic tools and some way to carry them, helmet, gloves, possibly some...

Kinda goes for both viewpoints, doesn't it?
