This coming...
Anyone use something like this while biking?

How comfortable are they? Better than a backpack?

I'm incredibly stupid when it comes to bike mechanics. I've tried spending time to learn, but in general I seem to get overwhelmed.
Anyway, yesterday about half-way through my ride I noticed a...
I've only been riding for about a month. I've certainly improved a lot in that time, but my last ride I was actually getting frustrated a few times because I knew I wasn't doing something right but...

So, I found a cool trail that runs alongside a paved path I'd ridden for a while. I rode a short stretch before, but decided to tackled the full trail this morning. Parts of it are quite nice (see...
Generally speaking, it's better to help out your local shop (and I don't just mean bike stores) than save a couple dollars and place the order online. If everyone bought stuff online, you wouldn't be...
Thanks! I like those.
Hmm, I need practice.
Glad to say I don't think I was too much of a jackass (by your terms) as a first-time bike buyer. :) I did ask a ton of questions, but walked out with a bike. And I did come...
Hey, I just got a mountain bike a few weeks ago and have been riding every change I get. Love it! :) I've been sticking to basic "bike paths" so far to get the hang of riding. I'd like to start...
