Yeah the hills around here are no joke. Every time someone posts a "commute video" I've noticed their cumulative elevation gain is around 1 foot (maybe). Must be nice!

"Going down after one punch" is life threatening. If you're carrying a firearm, the last thing in the world you want is to play fisticuffs with someone. One punch and you're down, now they have...

Let me rephrase: "Some people think tagaproject6 has good reading comprehension. However, this is completely incorrect."

Spin that one.

I've seen the arguments posted plenty of times before,...

You mean this part? Where it says exactly that?

If you really think you can't apply power on the upstroke you've either never used clipless pedals or you have no hamstrings.

Ah yes, the OP "sprinted" by him, then slowed down. I remember reading that part :)

How did he "get caught"? I haven't been following very closely, from what I've seen it seems like there isn't any real evidence.

Didn't you pass him first?

Are you saying you unclip both feet when you stop?

I've heard so much about everybody falling at least once but in my experience is seems like it's only the girls I know who fall down. To be perfectly honest, I did have one instance where I came...

When exactly does this ripping happen? When you're removing the pump from the valve? I've never even heard of this happening to anybody until this thread.

I've found that it's really hard to find bikes in that price range on Craigslist. I was originally looking for something used for my GF. A new entry level Trek Lexa is around $650 so I was hoping...

That's what slamdancing will get ya.

How are you getting back home?

I've been using RunKeeper on my iPhone. I've been meaning to try some of the other apps available too though, since there seem to be several other popular ones now.

"Civilian clothes" :)

I find getting in and out of clipless pedals to be easier than toe clips. Snapping out is done easily with one motion that doesn't snag like toe clips can sometimes and getting in can be as quick as...

Nice! I'd like to get a GoPro sometime.

After watching your video, I'm thinking holy smokes I wish my commute was that flat, and holy smokes I'm glad there is a bike lane on almost every road on...

I commute on a Trek 2.1, because I've never had a road bike and that's what I picked out. In hindsight, I probably would have gone with something a little different, maybe CX for the wider tires?...

Me too. I think more people would laugh at me for doing my commute in cotton shorts commando instead of bike shorts and a jersey.

Since you mentioned taking the bike to work with your car, I thought I'd chime in with my latest commuting schedule.

I have my kids part time, which requires me to have a car every Wednesday...

I'm pretty sure his fishtailing was *not* deliberate and almost ended in him highsiding, unless this is some technique I've never heard about. In that guy's case, his technique was probably also to...

I've only heard that low pressure can make the tire susceptible to pinch flats. High pressure can contribute to pinch flats?

OP, you can't make a post about a new bike without pitchers ;)

So, about the allergy drops - I do have bad allergies and use both a prescription nasal spray and OTC eye drops.

I also have issues with my eyes being dry which usually isn't too much trouble...
