I started off using eggbeaters and a cheap pair of Answer MTB shoes (package deal from Performance). The eggbeaters were a great way to get acclimated to using clipless pedals - as others have said,...

I've only tried a few different kinds, but the cheap pair of Nike gloves I last bought are the best. I don't like to have too much padding - that's what handlebar tape is for. I don't know the...

I haven't used any of their hardware, but the one jersey and knickers I picked up from them are decent for the price.

Ironically, my favorite jersey is my cheapest one, and it's from Performance.

That's how I feel every time I'm in the car and see someone flying down the road on their bike, which, being in Italy, is all the time.

I wear mtns, but then I'm communting much more often than going out on long rides. Still, I think the slight loss in sole stiffness is a worthwhile tradeoff for being able to walk.

I use a Topeak MTX trunk bag and clamp-on rack, and it works well. Then again, I'm only carrying tubes, tools, and gym clothes (I leave the uniform at work). The only time it has ever shifted was...

bikenames.com shipped my order in about a week, and that's to an overseas APO address. Excellent quality, as far as I can tell - the decal looks as if it was painted on the bike.

Fast on the way home, and I got out of work early - major benefit. Tomorrow I'll be doing sprints on my ride in, which I'm actually starting to enjoy.

Indeed. I could care less what comments I might get from coworkers about shaved legs and spandex... function over form is what's important.

Well, yesterday was great - light traffic (got out of work early), and I beat the rain home by about an hour. Today, however, was another story. Not one, but two flats! I had to walk the last...

I had a great ride today, as well - next to no traffic during "siesta" here in Italy, and I beat the bad weather home by an hour.

The look on coworkers' faces when I tell them I ride a bike to work, the feeling of being on the open road and not stuck in a car, staying in shape and enjoying it!

No, Aviano, about an hour north of Venice. There are plenty of bike stores around here, too - I just have to save up some cash and get a bike that really fits my needs.
