Oh yeah, also note the orientation of the grass/weeds.

Climber's build achievement in progress.

Guys I rode bikes with a friend who hasn't been riding much in 4 months. We took him up Quimby Rd in San Jose. Here's a bit of the reward for doing the climb

Guys I'm blind and did this... (glad my frame is steel or the seatstay bridge would have delaminated)

I broke out the arm/leg warmers today because it was low 50s I'm a fucking pussy

The double backflip was crazy.

I fucking love the Stigmata and it was the 2nd bike on my list if I didn't get the Swiss Cross. Here's me playing around with a GoPro Hero 5

I didn't ride any gravel really. Just the bit at the trailhead while taking pictures. If it was harder-packed stuff, I would have given the trail an attempt.

Drove 300 miles to Mount Shasta for a wedding. Brought my bike. Rode as far up as the road would take me (max elevation ~8000ft) then attended the wedding a few hours later. It was ~39F when I headed out at 7AM from 3000ft elevation. I didn't really think to bring arm/knee warmers or a...

New wheel day

Timed the stoplights/crosswalk signs today. It's a full five (not three) seconds of WALK while all cars have red lights;

I think right-on-red is less dangerous than when the light first goes green, actually. People treat the green as right of way when there are pedestrians who also have a green/white walk light. The local cities have all changed their light patterns recently where the pedestrians get 3 seconds of...

Uber/Lyft drivers are just as bad. They make up most of my close calls in the suburbs.

I found it 2 days later while doing a pre-flight check for my next ride. I almost missed it.

ENVE SES 5.6 Discs ordered. Not messing around with off-brand this time.

So this happened...

I guess I fucked up then.

Manual For Speed's "SURPRISE ME" kit also arrived today. Here, be amused at my expense.

New kit day. Endo Customs "Mister Moss"

Hell, with lane filtering being legal in California and the option to share a lane when possible, cyclists are almost guaranteed to be faster than car traffic in SF at most times of day. AngryGerbil, the resolution for obligate car drivers isn't fewer bicycles, but actually more bicycles. The...

I ride roads like the ones I pictured on the first page. If I do ride on a busy urban road, you can bet I'm taking the lane if there is insufficient or an obstructed shoulder. Are you saying urban cycling shouldn't happen and cyclists clog up urban roads? I'm pretty sure it's mostly cars...

It's not about drive. Abbott and van Vlueten were in their own breakaway when the latter rider decided to attack hard. Abbott probably would have caught back up because that was too early to make a move. When two cyclists hook up, they take turns drafting behind each other. The slipstream effect...

Yeah, that's usually what happens to solo breakaways. Don't do it. The sprinters will team up, catch up and then destroy you.

There's a bit of overlap in topical discussions about professional cycling and people that ride hard, so I wouldn't mind a combined thread in the sports section.

I love it when people dictate the law and get it wrong. Many cops don't even know what rights cyclists have.

Yeah, our near five-figure toys... Besides at least one state has a law that permits bikes to slowly roll through stop signs if the coast is clear: Idaho stop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It literally saves everyone time because they don't hold up traffic behind them.

I try to avoid climbing the busier mountain roads, but cyclists have every right to enjoy epic canyon/mountain rides just as you do. Don't drive dangerously around blind corners (you shouldn't do this anyway lest you want to risk crashing into a lane crosser,) and you won't come close to hitting...

If you get a roof rack, the Kuats are pretty good. Also get an orange cone and put it in front of your garage door. And be very careful with long bridges, tree limbs, etc,

The world tour is standardizing on 140mm rotors and 12x100 / 12x142mm TA so neutral support is not a long term issue.

Right, stuff like eTap not having a hydro shifter option is also a direct result from the needs of the peloton. Race bike tech is all derived from UCI regulation. It's more or less why we are still using the traditional main/rear triangle design in modern bikes...because the UCI regs enforce...

Frankly if you're buying a new road bike and not a professional racer, you should have disc brakes. They are better in every meaningful way to a hardcore cyclist. 1) They brake consistently in all conditions. 2) They last forever if you are using sintered or hybrid pads. 3) They have better...

Motorists never break traffic laws.

Let's get started with my dick brake Swiss Cross w/eTap in spring/summer road mode. --- And here was my 70mi, 7000ft climb ride on Sunday... Crystal Springs Reservoir from Cañada Road. Old La Honda midway up toward Skyline. West Old La Honda on the other side of Skyline. Completely...

Pretty much. I didn't even have to try it...I preordered way before it was available. I knew I wanted it. Been riding it since February and it's the nest groupset ever. No hyperbole. -- Here's pics from a 70mi, 7000ft climbed ride I did today. Crystal Springs Reservoir from Cañada Road...

RIP Rerolled. Here have a pic of mydickbrake Swiss Cross w/eTap in spring/summer road mode.
