Unless it's below freezing, in which case Glebe is pretty risky there where it's always wet near the bottom.

God bless @obscurerichard for taking this on. He's spending an incredible amount of time, night/day/weekend on all of this. I am completely swamped at work, so I have absolutely zero regrets for...

I also can't keep warm with just shoe covers below 35°. I have two sets of boots, which both work well. One pair of fairly old Northwave Celcius boots are comfy for 25-45°. After a couple hours at...

ProBikeFC probably doesn't look for business from W&OD users; from what I understand, it's a fairly boutique shop. Now, if you want a fancy new Factor with a custom-spec carbon build kit ...

But I...

For those looking for nose/mouth covering that still allows for breathing, this is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UATJ5Y/ I can't recommend it enough if you, like me, prefer to...

+1 -- sounds like a great location. I'd definitely use it.

I like Mechanics gloves too. They're great summer gloves. Those would be good for me down to about 55º :) I guess we're all wired up differently!

Bonus points if shaving legs. This is a cycling forum after all.

He modified his to go faster.

Yeah, he just told me this AM. I am shocked! He must have misread that as a daily-mileage minimum.

Sure, yes,daily sleaze rides. Emphasis shifts to riding every day as opposed to riding for any duration or distance. I assume the number was chosen due to being a median distance for the competitors,...

100 miles, but 10 points per day. It definitely encourages daily riding, yes.

In case this isn't clear.

3 days, 100 miles = 130 points
7 days 100 miles = 170 points

To be fair, I don't think anything has ever actually been decided by people discussing on the forum. Someone just makes an executive decision and some people complain and then everyone moves on.
...

Yeah, I suspect it would. Certainly I'd love it!

Sounds like TwoWheels is doing something wrong!

I had the pleasure of drafting a guy yesterday who was wearing jeans and loafers on the W&OD and cruising at 25mph, until he turned off just before...

Thanks for clarifying, Steve. The notional bridge certainly makes a lot of sense; it would make that part of the w&od trail make sense. -- but I'd certainly choose the Lee Hey bridge if forced to...

That is very possible, yeah. I remember my first commute through there being a bit "???".

I loved my SE Lager as my first real dedicated commuter. I changed the fork for carbon and put on drop bars, replaced the brakes (learned something about caliper reach!) And switched to a WI...

Um. I don't know about you, but I cross 29 2x per day and I would much, much rather have a bridge over 29 than something to skip the EFC neighborhood. I have been almost hit numerous times by...

Yeah, I have seen a "no bikes" sign there as long as I can remember on that trail (at least on the eastern side, which is the only place I ride by the trail entrance). As to how official it looked, I...

Small point, but I think you mean "Class 1 & 2 e-bikes allowed". As I understand it, (CA) Class 3 can go up to 28mph assisted.

It seems obvious -- or at least I'm hopeful -- that this is where...

Yeah, I think this just illustrates that there are many different worlds of cycling. The vast majority of the cyclists I know participate in one or more of these other activities (no surprise, it's...

I suspect we have different definitions of "group ride". I meant the ones where everyone is in lycra hammering up the hill or sprinting to the the city-limit signs. E-bikes are not welcome on those...

I love my Defrosters. They are the boots I wear when temps are well below freezing. Compared to their other shoes, I agree with the idea that they are larger -- less tight with thicker socks. My...

I'm going to go ahead and mentally blame Eliptigo for this.

In seriousness, this is really too bad. Performance Bike has a reputation for being a "budget" shop and maybe for their sales staff...
