I bought a Retrospec Chatham 3 spd for this season and love it. I was riding road bikes for the last 17 years, and got to where my neck wouldn't let me raise my head up to see where I was going. I'm...

I can't believe the negativity here. I thought cycling was about the freedom, the fun, the psychological lift achieved during a ride. One Danish writer even said that the cyclist may reach...

Mostly I ride 10 - 20 miles, occasionally more, just for fun. I love the feeling of the air flowing over my skin, the unencumbered feel of my legs going up and down on the pedals, and the sun when...

I bought one last summer, and like it a lot. It looks like the Catlike whisper, at almost half the price.

I'm jealous. I've loved that bike since I saw the first ads. It's UNIQUE, and probably is a smoother ride than many. I just am not in that price range for a bicycle. But you enjoy!

I've had trifocals for quite a while, and my prescription is all screwed up from having had a detached retina, followed by cataract surgery on ONE eye. They don't want to touch the other one because...

The Belgian Hammer by Daniel Lee was okay, and Chain Reaction by Ross Goldstein gives a different perspective on the doping scandals. Worth the read.

Keep riding the Team Pro. Mine took about 1500 miles to break in, and as you said, one day like magic, it was just amazingly comfortable. Put a B-17 on my other bike, and that wasn't bad out of the...

What happens to Boasson-Hagen? I was under the impression that he went to Sky to get away from Cavendish.

I just installed the Mirrycle ROAD mirror (STI mount) on my Felt. Couldn't be happier. Looks like it belongs on the bike, and you can see what's coming up on you. Doesn't get out of adjustment like...

I've had a 908 for about 4 years, and I think it's great. Looks good, comfortable, good fit. I picked it because of the look--very modern. I also have a cheap Bell which is only okay. I also have...

Maybe it has something to do with the personnel at the LBS. I thought I wanted a new bike, and started looking about 6 weeks ago. I just want a lower end road bike, and I know what looks good to...

re: brooks

I bought a Team Professional for my bike, and have to admit it was DAMN hard and uncomfortable at first. I remember on my first ride after installing it, I said "Oh, my God, what have I done?"

I know Bike Nut was just joking about riding in a Speedo, but I, too, am turned off at the length of cycling shorts. I did buy a pair of tri shorts, which are okay to a point. Since I also don't...

Call me a wuss if you like, but I ride because I ENJOY it. However I have discovered that below 38 degrees, I no longer enjoy it. That means I haven't been out since Nov. 14. I'm getting bummed. ...

Brooks Saddles

I was at 240lbs when I started riding regularly; now I hover around 200. Anyway, I bought a Brooks Team Pro (even harder leather than a B17) a few thousand miles ago. Even though I do own a pair of...
