the girl that was helping me out was laughing her ass off when i told her that and the spandex pants were my only fears lol.
i tried it on a test station they had and it seemed easy enough
-
What kind of clipless? The only kind I have really liked are Time ATACs. Why not cages?
So have you started a weightweenies account mr.weekend warrior? :cool:
-
High Five
-
cool.
also your gearing is bad in that pic. never run big-big or small-small... its bad for the chain, bad for the sprockets and bad for the derailer.

cages on a felt trollolo
i like eggbeaters a lot but they're not the best for extended road rides since there's basically no platform to transfer energy.

shimano something. and i was actually thinking of getting cages at first.

good to know!
i think they were adjusting something and it was left that way
-
shimano is called SPD
what the **** kind of shop would leave it like that O_O did you go to mikes?!

tits always relevant!
-
Here is the thing, if you want to ride everywhere and not get stuck bring 2 pairs of shoes just do cages with some leather straps.
Just use your clip-less for 40+ mile rides, etc.
-
that could work
-
What kind of helmet did you end up picking up?
-
Don't forget to replace your helmet every so often. UV degrades the plastic and less and less safe as time goes on (my roomate is a competitive road/offroad cyclist)
-
Funny thing... I can't ride a motorcycle without a helmet but I can't wear a helmet on a bicycle. The one time I did I couldn't rip the damned thing off fast enough to staunch the bleeding when I crashed. Managed to hit a rock perfectly with my head such that the rock nailed me low on the side of my temple right under the edge of the helmet.
I've gone down many times since quitting the helmet and have never hurt my head since that day.

Las
@ponies, good to know
@hash, penis, always relevant.
@alaric, they wouldn't let me leave without a helmet lol.
-
Does the side of their shorts say Polska? As in kielbasa? :)
@alaric, they wouldn't let me leave without a helmet lol.
That would be why I bothered with a helmet once.
-
girl was cute too.
so cute that she could have sold me poop and i would have bought it.
-
congrats Demik... how did I know you would with a red/ black theme?? :p
-
purely coincidence haha.
i actually wanted an all black bike

Looks like a short frame...you a short dude Demik?
-
yes i am sir
more upper body than legs.
-
Congratulations and good luck with your quest for fitness.
You have taken the first step and sacrificed some treasured keyboards, which is far more than most people would do, so I salute you!
-
Oh ho ho Demik! Nice bike!!
I really enjoyed watching gymnastics in the Olympics so I've started to do some exercises too. Good to see those auctions have gone towards something so positive!
-
So, put my first 32 miles on this girl!
I know it may not seem a lot to everybody. But that's a huge accomplishment for me. I've also been hitting the gym every night for two hours and trying my hardest to eat healthy :)

Congrats, everyone has to start somewhere ^__^

The hardest part is not starting - it is keeping on going.
Well done sir!

Did my first half century today!!!
And I fell in the last quarter mile because my body tipped to the side my shoe was still clipped into. Got a nice little scrape on both of my legs.
So my rides have gone:
1st - 10 miles
2nd - 22 miles
3rd - 30 miles
4th - 16 miles (street)
5th - 50 miles
-
I'm impressed, 50 miles on your 5th ride :D
keep it up
-
Man riding on the street is NOTHING like a trail. After 13 miles I was dying to get back to my car.
But I think a lot had to do with having a crappy breakfast.
But it was fun as hell riding in traffic. Little scary when I had big rigs near me. But everybody was great about giving me space and the right of way when I merged.
-
Nice job demik! My uncle runs about that much for his races. I don't see how he does it, but then again I pole vault. Nonetheless, how long did it take you to do your 50?
-
nice :)
when i hear trails i think of this:

Being afraid of heights, pole vaulting is just insane O.O
And ~4 hrs.
I know it's slow compared to others, but I'm trying to build endurance before I build speed. I think my top speed was 23.7mph
Also, I had to climb Santa Fe dam. That almost killed me as that was me first "true" climb.
-
pole vaulting? haha no that's a BMX bike :P i am nowhere near that good. bmx trail riding is nuts, those dudes get like 20ft+ in the air.
-
I mean smallfry's comment. U just ninja'd me :p
-
hahah! still too high in the air for me O__O
-
Yeah I'm not good with heights
-
SmallFry
^FTFY >:D Hahah!
I am on my high school's pole vaulting team. My highest is 10'6". 4 hours isn't bad at all. Congrats demik

The first of many scrapes. Clip-ins are both a blessing and a curse.

Well done!
The sale of those keyboard goodies might now seem a little bit more justified.

was justified since that one >.<
it hurt getting rid of my vader. but the weight i've sold already has eased the pain
-
How much does your soul weigh? ;)
-
what soul >.>
-
Knew you sold it.
-
to the devil.
and the price was cheap.

^ You should have auctioned it in Classifieds.
